The Harper government missed the chance to make meaningful cuts
Seriously: Out of a $276-billion budget, the Conservatives found only $5 billion in cuts? And only over three years?
That’s like someone who weighs 276 pounds saying they’re going to lose five pounds. Over three years.
Except even that’s not true. Because three years from now, the government’s own budget document says it’s going to be spending
$297 billion.
That’s not cutting. That’s expanding. That’s not leaner. That’s 7.4% fatter.
