It’s official: The Trudeau Liberals have zero interest in ever balancing a budget

On Tuesday, the federal Liberals released their fourth and last budget before facing the electorate this fall. While there are many competing analyses on aspects of the budget, one thing is certain: The Liberals have no plan to balance the budget.

Consider this. The Harper government’s final budget called for program spending in 2015–16 of $263.2 billion. In the spring of 2016, the newly elected Liberal government announced a 10.7-per-cent increase in spending for fiscal year 2016–17, to $291.4 billion . This resulted in one of the highest levels of per person spending in Canadian history, outside of a recession or major war. It also meant moving from an essentially balanced budget for 2015–16 to an expected deficit of almost $30.

However, perhaps the most telling evidence of the federal government’s proclivity for spending occurred last year. In the spring budget, Ottawa announced spending for 2018–19 totalling $312.2 billion. By the fall when the government delivered its economic update, it discovered higher than anticipated revenues and spent an additional $8 billion.

The price of this additional spending is double-digit deficits, despite the 2015 Liberal campaign promise that deficits would be temporary and the budget would be balanced this year. This government’s record clearly shows its interest in spending as much as possible.

DUMB and DUMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the deficit is fast becoming irrelevant as the %age of gdp drops below 1%, and continues to decline. This isn’t 1993.

clerysboy No shit! 🙄

Come on media, this has been obvious for months.

Haha... how much did the cover cost this time, millionaires spending your working tax dollars ... buy those votes

So maybe he is lying to us like he did in 2015😂😂😂😂

Trudeau offers 0 for lower/fixed income including seniors. N'offre rien pour les revenus inférieurs/fixes, y compris les aînés

And why should they when the other people gust squander it.

Trudeau doesn’t inspire me... Sheer scares me

A lot of belly aching over this, by people who like to pretend that this is news. Liberals spend, Conservatives cut social programs. At least Trudeau doesn't support white supremacists.

TrudeauMustGo

But the Integrity Challenged Trudeau Liberals said the Budget is going to Balance Itself.

Dumb and Dumber.

BobBaileyPC The liberal monkeys only want to balance bananas on their heads.

this is the REAL COVER.... The budget in one picture. It’s all sunshine and lollipops, rainbows and unicorns. lraitt manny_ottawa

Just like many other promises he made, you can bet your very last dollar (before he takes it) that those promises made today won’t last past November if re-elected.

When the economy comes to a grinding halt with bloody chaos everywhere, that picture above will be the poster to remind people unicorns were in-charge of their government.

It's like he KNOWS he isn't going to win.

I feel sorry for our kids with this kind of thinking

Or knowledge of how to.

They are still trying to prove that budgets balance themselves.🧐

A balanced budget will never score adequate virtue signal points.

You are just figuring this out now?!!

Nearly $28B in new spending means no return to balanced budget in sightThe final budget of the Trudeau government's mandate will scatter billions in fresh spending - on everything from pharmacare to retraining workers to first-time home buyers - as the Liberals commit to an electoral fight that pits their deficit-spending vision versus the Conservatives' balanced-books approach. They don’t even care anymore. How did we get here? $4.5 billion for Indigenous peoples. Where has the previous $30 odd billion gone, covering the past 25 years? Seems to me, every FN man, woman, and child in Canada, ought to be a millionaire by now.
