Eliminating the Canadian deficit in three or four years?  POSSIBLE, says Canadian Taxpayers Fed

Written by Joel Johannesen on Wednesday January 27 2010 at 12:06 PM


imageThe good Canadian Taxpayer Federation once again scores with an easy-to-read, common sense-filled and well-thought-out submission that even MPs can find time to read, when they’re not busy protesting prorogation by holding news conferences with the state-owned and taxpayer-funded CBC about saving the endangered knobby rams-horn slug from evil human activity (stop all building… except for “national” housing for the poor!).  It’s called Zero in Three, and it’s an action plan designed to offer real, sensible alternatives prior to the next budget. 

You’ll also see a few simple charts and graphs showing how the deficit and debt has ballooned over the years and decades, and under whose political watch.  Get ready to eat crow, all you Conservative Party voters who refuse to open your eyes to what is actually still the progressive Conservative Party, chock-a-block full of progressives with their big nanny-state, government-growing agendas to increase reliance on government, and control over our lives, and increase taxation and the regulatory morass of our businesses.  No, we still don’t have a conservative party in power, as the CTF demonstrates with their stats and charts and graphs showing massive spending and debt increases under their watch, just as under the Liberals’ (even if in nearly every other way, we’re far better off now —but that’s not necessarily the CTF’s bailiwick).

If there’s one idea missing from it (which on the other hand Maclean’s writer Andrew Coyne did pick up on in his own ideas this week), it’s the fact that the state-owned, taxpayer funded CBC should of course be separated from the giant national silicone and hope-filled teat.  At over a BILLION taxpayer dollars per year, and a federal deficit and debt standing where they now are, and considering how that behemoth of socialism-reliant leftist culture competes against private enterprise, and considering the many other negatives that it represents, that’s a gimme, it seems to me.

But it’s a really good read.  It’s mandatory reading for all thinking Canadians who care about this country’s future and are OK with some useless and even damaging slugs — including those ugly ones found outside in nature — going extinct.
