Yakk,

Excellent point.

To me, the debt / deficit is one of the most important things that had to be addressed when the liberals took power and they did what they said they were going to do.

Mulroney and company ran record deficits year after year after year. They made deficit financing an art form.

I believe the annual federal budget is around 170 billion dollars.

Over the last 10 years, that then translates into 1.7 trillion dollars of which the liberals wasted 3 or 4 billion. As a percent, that' s 0.17 %.

Let's put it in perspective. That's like if I give you $100,000.00 to watch and you give me back everything except 170 dollars. Am I supposed to worry about 170 dollars to the point of hating your guts??

I trust Paul Martin to run the economy like a clock. I don't trust Stephen Harper one little bit.
