uhhh... pardon?

You do understand what "net" means? As in federal tax revenues that leave the province but don't go back and are spent in other provinces

I have no problem in re-quoting your post and the post you were replying to... would you like me to do so - to give you an opportunity, with context, to explain this dumbazz reply of yours. Let me know, hey! 

How do you tax something that isn't there? You take an economy that is already in the tank and try and fix it by taking even more money out of it through taxation. Does that make any sense to you?

So you think the Virus-economy is the new normal and nothing will be coming back.    That’s one view, I guess.  I don’t think it’s a very common view.  In fact, I think you may be the 1st one to suggest it.    So, I’m not sure such a crackpot idea is really worth talking about, to be honest.

It will come back eventually but who knows how long it will take. It took WW2 to end the Great Depression.

So that’s when taxes increase and services decrease.

Whatever.

Do you have trouble with reality?  This is reality - we have to spend money now, and worry about servicing it at some future date.  Oh well.  It's not what's important right now.

I'm not being critical about what government is doing now, I have always been critical about the deficits they have been running for the past four years when times were good because they have put us in a weaker financial position now. You guys don't seem able to grasp that.

What most economists say is that those deficits aren't material.  I'm going to go with them.

You do that but you might want to wait and see what they are saying about them this time next year.
