I thought Harper had promissed no deficit.

Shoulf Harper keep his word about supporting a balanced budget?

He did promise there would not be a deficit. I don't think it was long before both him and the public realized there was no other way. You know the old saying - You have to spend money to make money.

Yeah, he conveniently realised it... right after the election. He'd promissed no deficit... just before the end of the election. Wow, perfect timing to realise this when all the other parties, though hesitant about going into deficit, at least had the honesty to admit that they didn't know how serious things would be and that though they would try to avoid deficit, they wouldn't lie to the public by ruling it out until the end of the friggin campaign.
