the idea of never repaying the debt is pretty much a thing now. Especially the Americans. It took the most powerful Liberal government in history to take the measures necessary to reduce the debt and it resulted in their destruction. The enemies they made paying down that $90 billion finally reared up and smote them.
Along comes a little lacky like Harper and boom - the debt spiral is back in spades. IN 5 years he had reborrowed the $90 billion the Liberals had managed to dispatch and then added a brand new $60 billion on top of that.
And now the righties are worried about Trudeau running a deficit?
Where were you when Harper was ruining us?
My God, I can't believe the crap you write. I mean that in the nicest possible way.

No. What caused their destruction was they were the most corrupt Canadian gov't since.......well, since 1900 anyway. Mobsters in cabinet, appointments to Denmark to save them, bank managers that resisted corruption destroyed, millions stolen, etc etc etc.
And btw, the revenue stream in Chretien's gov't increased madly, due to Mulroney's GST and NAFTA. He was as responsible for saving our fiscal sanity as was Chretien/Martin.
And while we are at it, we were in that position in the first place because of the insane fiscal policies of one person: Pierre Elliot Trudeau.

The most competent PM in the last 50 years. Not that the competition was much.

In the midst of the worst financial crisis in a generation or two, and at the insistence of the Liberals.
And now the righties are worried about Trudeau running a deficit?
These are good times. We're supposed to be paying down debt in good times.
Where were you when Harper was ruining us?
Ahhh....Harper balanced the budget.......
You know, you are rapidly drifting towards the same status as Mentalfloss in my eyes.
Arrogant, extremely partisan, ignorant of the facts, and childish.
At least you don't advocate street violence.
Do you?
And I think you are a kid, which would be a reason for the arrogance and ignorance..........if not an excuse.
