After reading this, I have to wonder since it worked for Canada, why is the Obamanation (Obama Administration) not doing the same thing?
The reason I ask this is all the passionate Canadians that call me names when I say I don't like our POTUS. I'm not against Canadians, I make fun of their Navy, but envy their choice of cigars and bacon. I never really looked at the politics of Canada, never cared, but I was watching some news this morning which I haven't had a lot of time to do lately and on the John Stossel show ( Who is a libertarian ) he was talking about how Canada turned it around and it was the Liberal party that did the big changes? I had to read more and found this report, pretty interesting.
I hope the GOP sticks with what they promised when they ran for office last November. Cut spending, like the Canadians did , it worked for them..........
Or we could do like Greece did, didn't work too well for them, we'll see, I'm sure they will have to compromise
But I'm sure TheDoc will have charts, conjecture and cave drawings that will prove without a shadow of the doubt that everything on that page is absolutely wrong, I love debating with him, he never gives up!

The article is misleading.. The truth is, that the previous government, The Conservatives under Brian Mulroney had the balls to do what was required to fix things.. They signed the free trade agreement with the US and introduced the GST which was basically a tax increase. Both things led to a lot more money for businesses and the government... Of course the cost of that was Brian Mulroney becoming probably the most hated leader in Canada. Thus the liberals came to power. They promised to get rid of the GST and didn't. They became very corrupt and as much as they may have made some cuts, they also spent a lot... People may not want to admit it, but the state of our economy and debt ratio is primary due to the hard choices Mulroney made and implemented. I don't see anyone in the US that has the balls to commit political suicide to do that sort of thing. |
