My right? I don't get what you're saying.

Anyway, if you plot the trajectory of Canada's debt in the 80's and consider the other economic variables (worker productivity, inflation) and extrapolate for another couple of decades, what would you anticipate? Socialist economic paradise?

Frankly, we were f*kd if we didn't put the brakes on the spiraling tax and spend boom of the 70's and 80's. Even politicians recognized that, and for the first time, slowed the spending growth until as the economy caught up.

Can I read from your position that history looked different out your window? Why else did the feds cut back on, for example, health care spending? Were they just being mean, or did they realize there would be dire consequences if they didn't?
