Title: Saskatchewan to Continue to Spill Red Ink
Post by: JMT on March 22, 2017, 08:56:12 am
I don't hear many complaints from Conservatives.

I'm sure they would be doing better if the rest of us had just worked a little harder, like they did.  ::)

Post updates here when the budget is released.

Taxes up about 10%!  That's crazy.

A one point increase from 5% to 6% is a 20% increase.

But, yeah, conservatives making the best decisions they can under the circumstances so the hypocrisy is funny.

No - I was talking overall.  Taxes will go up $900M per year.  That's a lot of money.  But not a peep.  It's all about how Trudeau is nickeling and diming us.

That's almost $900 per person. 

If the Liberals did this there would be outrage. 

Of course, it would eliminate the federal deficit which they seem to care about.....

Choices, all governments have to make them.
