The fake carbon scam based on the SO2 scam?

No, the debt that has no legitimate impact on your life.

If it doesn't go towards the debt, then second priority should be universal compulsory education. Next priority should be trades and professional education for the unemployed, underemployed, and the underpaid.

Guaranteed Basic Income.

OH so you finally woke up and realized scaring kids into thinking they are going to die horrific death is a scam to pay off debt?

They'd never go for a GST hike or HST so f-ck with their heads?

Guaranteed Basic Income.

Of course the debt has an impact.

Firstly, it means I pay more tax for less service because of the extra cost of interest payments.

Secondly. Taxing the poor to pay interest payments to lenders exacerbates the wealth gap.

Thirdly, government borrowing increases the demand for borrowed money. As per the laws of supply and demand, that pushes interest rates up.

And you say it has no impact.

As for guaranteed income, I like the idea in princople. It cuts out much of the middle man army if civil servants.

But it could also feed addictions in those who suffer addictions. I still like the idea in principle though.

It's all BS and they could just purge the debt whenever they want, but that's besides they point.

If you're going to still entertain this phony game, then debt to GDP ratio is all that really matters.

Syriusly we should get a handle on the volcanic activity, we might need a bit more money,but logically if we have exercise this tax to it's intended end these fire spewing holes in the planet have to be stuffed. I own a quarry I could donate tons of plug at a fracrtion of it's market cost les transportation of course, less transportation, did I already say that/ just want ot be on the same level, it's astupid idea the fukkin planet is bleeding carbon, it like carbon, carbon grows here

If we fall for this we will fall for voltage regulators on the sun,

What does climate change have to do with debt?

BTW...when is worst case Ontario going to catch up?

40% growth in per capita is needed for ON to catch up with SK if and only if SK stagnates with zero growth.

The only way out of debt to GDP is taxation because GDP growth will never close the gap for ON. EVER!

Why are asking me?

I don't give a **** about debt.

Because you are making a killing in your bros' basement?

Like I said.

It didn't matter and Ontario is the perfect example.

It's just curmudgeons from cottage country whining about their electricity bill.
