"but his way was wrong and the legacy shows it."

Certainly an opinion shared by many. A voting minority, however. Gallup polls consistently demonstrated that cutting debt and deficits was the most popular item in the Liberal platform. Largely, it was responsible for consistent re-election.

Parents voted to take the pain, so their children wouldn't have to.

A prediction: Euro political parties that choose the same course - where the public is certain that deficits and debt will be trimmed honestly - will return those parties to power again and again.

They'll vote for their children's best interests, just as Canadians did.
