Budget B.S. In Brief --Good Luck a) selling it & b) pulling it off!

 Wed, Mar 23, 2011

Dear Minister,

 

Do you actually expect to grow revenues (2009-2010) by 41.4% by 2015-2016?

 

While in the same period containing programs to just 8.9% in total? ... Page 180 of pdf of 2011 Budget

 

I agree it is a shame that Debt Charges will rise by 34% to $39.4bn ...I guess that's just the cost of 'doing business in deficit'.

 

Most amazingly the (net, net offset by all kinds of accounting) Federal Debt only goes up by $91.9bn (17.7%) ... that's simply the arithmetic result from programs & revenue going "perfectly as planned"

 

Good Luck a) selling it & b) pulling it off!

 

Don't worry .... Carol/Jean Canuck are too bust to pay attention to these details.
