Ottawa Sun columnist Walter Robinson takes a detailed look at the socialist Liberal budget (he was in the media lockup) but he also took a good look at the Finance Department’s web site—which itself seemingly absorbs a good wack of taxpayers’ cash while also dutifully toeing the party line as if it were the Liberal Party’s own web site.
I’ll jump right to the end of his piece but the rest is good quick reading.
[…] The bottom line on Budget 2005: Program spending has and will increase by almost 60% from Fiscal 2000 to Fiscal 2009. This is double the known and projected rates of inflation and population growth for this decade. It is unsustainable in the long run and Canada’s national debt interest burden—where the Liberals have made progress—still sucks 20% out of every federal tax dollar that comes off your paycheque.
We continue to live on borrowed time and borrowed dimes …
