I wish that Harper would make it a line in the budget, where whatever amount needs to be paid to pay the interest and perhaps $5 billion on the principle and that is what will be budgeted until the debt is paid back. If the Liberals in 1992 had done this, we would have been debt free by 2004.
There is no excuse why this can’t be done and $5 billion is such a relatively small amount of money that it could be done without it being debated.
debt to gdp is 00 percent? I thought it would be low. what the hell are they spending all that money on. an this year there is a surplus? I’m confused.
Politicians, of whatever stripe, hate to let money go to waste like paying down the debt.....................it supposed to be used for buying votes!...............
This is an election year budget, that’s one thing for sure.
