Budget analysis: Taxpayers are footing the bill again
Deficits as far as the eye can see: A mortgage on our children's future.
Grant Sterling
The latest budget unveiled in Ottawa is a document of despair for anyone who understands basic math. Billions in new spending, no plan to balance the books, and interest payments that now rival our healthcare transfers. This is intergenerational theft, plain and simple.
The government treats the public purse as a bottomless pit, buying votes with borrowed money. But inflation is the hidden tax that every Canadian is paying now for this profligacy. The cost of living crisis is a direct result of printing money to chase goods.
Fiscal conservatism is not about being mean; it's about being responsible. It's about ensuring that Canada remains solvent and strong for the next generation. We need to cut the bloat, axe the unnecessary programs, and return to the principle that you cannot spend what you do not have.
