"NDP Leader Jack Layton has already said he will vote against the government's latest budget because he believes a coalition would serve the country better.
However, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff, who succeeded Dion, has not appeared keen on that idea. He has said he wants to see what's in the budget, and won't say whether he will support it until Wednesday."
This quote comes from here: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/01/26/budgetadvancer.html
Let me start by saying that Jack Layton is an attention power whoring asshole.
Parliament is back in session today, and the Conservatives are going to be presenting their new budget plans, I for one am looking forward to seeing how they are planning to get us through the US caused world recetion. As stated in the above article, they are planning to spend money to the point of a severe deficit, which we haven't had since 1996-97; I am actually encouraged by this and I will tell you why:
I am by no means an economic expert (seriously I can barely keep track of my own finances)but at first it seemed to me that 64 billion dollars over 2 years is a HELLA LOT OF MONEY!! It actually isn't that much, for our estimated population of 33,534,000 (per Wikipedia) that's only $1,908.51 per person, which wouldn't last the average Canadian household very long, and it would help people on EI and Welfare even less, but by investing it in the Canadian industries, it creates jobs and security for many Canadians, the proposed tax cut also contributes to making things easier. Also, would not investing in Canadian industries boost our exports and things? Increasing the money Canada is bringing in? and leave us in a better place to get rid of the deficit when the recetion is over (hopefulyl soon)? Makes sense to me. Isn't the old adage "You have to spend money to make money"? Besides it worked for Hitler.
Also, as for the bit about Jack Layton, and the quote from article, how childish is it that old Jackie boy has already decided to vote against the new budget even before he's heard all of it? This is someone who wants to have a hand in running our country? It's all well and good for him to vote against the budget cause it doesn't effect his bottom line, no politician in the history of the modern world has ever been laid off or not gotten paid, or had to worry about how he was going to feed/cloth/shelter his family. This is all about him wanting to FINALLY be in a position of power, and lets face it can anyone remember the last time the NDP being in power was a good thing?
As for the good people of BC, how about having ICBC get off their asses and start giving back some of it's enormous profits, a brake in insurance premiums would certainly be helpful to someone like me who pays $250.00 per month.
Your thoughts?

First of all, Jack Layton is an absolute ass-faced fucktard-bot and I agree with everything you've said about the ignorant pig.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I'll move on. It's interesting that you mention Hitler, seeing as how it took the COMBINED MIGHT OF THE ENTIRE WORLD to defeat a little piss ant country like Germany is really saying something about their skill at economics. Please nobody try to start a debate with me about WW2 and politics, attempts will be ignored.
Your grasp of the finances is fine and this is an idea I agree with, up your stakes and when the market bounces back you'll corner it. It's basic business.
The NDP being in power has NEVER been a good thing for anyone except first nations, due to their ass kissing of the natives.
I'd say that the FOUR BILLION in annual profit ICBC makes MOST DEFINITELY can be given back to the people seeing as how they try their best to screw everyone as much as possible. The same with so called "Employment Insurance" which is the biggest farce in business ever. It's against the law to not pay it, which is extortion if you've ever heard it, and then they NEVER pay out their claims (it's actually like 10%). Those cock smokers are laughing all the way to the fucking bank.
