pp will go all harperistic if, in the remote chance, he gets elected. We need program cuts, but every single one has its staunch defenders. I wrote that we have to go into a depression before people stop thinking that money grows on trees.
In a way trmpy is going down the route of a 30's depression. Stupidity? Like a fox. Who knows? Only a full depression can reset the mindset. In Canada, as soon as anybody talks of a cut, the interested parties line up the 1% that are screwed. Maybe that's 0.1%. Most of gov't largess goes to powerful people who just want to get richer, like lawyers.
The big 70's recession wasn't enough, nor 2008. We need something really big. It's now or later. I don't want it, but it is something to look at when it comes. Is there a silver lining? blah. And the big question is how many times can the gov't open the taps?
ps no comment since I love the cbc, but it is a useless leftie channel.
ps the title should be 'spending cuts' to make tax cuts -- sheesh.
