The deficit will be twice what the Cons projected?
With fearless Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page pointing out the Cons' crappy math skills once again, we recall their ongoing threats to sell off crown corporations to offset the federal deficit and compare them with these words from Defence Minister Peter MacKay in May :
"The global economic downturn won't prevent the Canadian Forces from spending $60 billion on new equipment."Will we be getting social services cuts to go with that?
Well as Harper pointed out to us in October last year, an economic meltdown does provide for lots of excellent investment opportunities - in fiscal conservatism.
