No increase in taxes, no cut to transfer payments, but the deficit will get payed down.

Can anyone explain how this is possible?

Ask Harper. All Iggy has done is realize that the truth isn't going to get him elected. Unless the economy not only rebounds fast but has record growth we aren't getting out of the red without a tax hike or spending cut of some sort and like Bootlegga surmised the military is the likely candidate of any of the political parties.

Iggy better start writing a LOT more books No tax raise, no federal cuts to the provinces. Hmmm one wonders how the hell Iggy is gonna pull that one off.
He can't, he's just spewing the same lies that contestants for the leadership(federal and provincial) have spun for years concerning taxes.

What really scares me is, there are some that actually believe the guy

So all we get to hear from the Libs is what they wont do. hows about we hear what they do have planned, just so I can have a good laugh.

Why aren't you concerned what Harper is going to do?

I dont think Harper will screw the military over, whereas I think Iggy will decimate our military to pay down the deficit, plus god knows what else. Harper is waiting for oil and other commodities to rebound because that is where the real money will come from. In fact it was oil money disappearing that destroyed the budget.

Iggy is a war hawk so what do you base this on other then bias against the Liberals? Has Iggy said or done anything to suggest he wouldn't support the military unlike Harper who has already broken many key promises?

Sorry but anything Harper is waiting for is likely something Iggy can also base his belief about not needing to raise taxes.

You can't vilify Iggy for something Harper is saying also.

Sure Layton will lie. I want to know what he is going to do about the deficit don't you just so we can criticize it likewise.
