    No need, he didn't say that he would neither raise taxes or limit spendings, which is what Iggy said.

    "Disciplined spendings" means that he will cut in many things, which is possible and doesn't involve money appearing from thin air.

    The deficit this year will be more than $5 billion higher than originally thought, moving up to a projected $55.9 billion from $50.2 billion.

    What's there to scream about? The deficit? I'm not sure what you're getting at.

    The fact that when Iggy claimed he would eliminate the deficit without tax increases the outcry from the con core was extremely loud and shrill.

    In fact its right here: current-events-f59/ignatieff-vows-to-erase-50b-deficit-with-no-new-taxes-mer-t83378.html

    Read the comments by the morons who are now not saying word one about Harper claiming the same thing. For that matter where were you? You seem to jump in loads of times on political threads to question me so why are you not aware of this?

    Are we then to assume that Harper has a magic wand (the wand the con pundits said Iggy must have) to use to eliminate his own deficit?

    I never trust a politician who claims this as they all raise something to pay for their pipe dreams .

    There's other way of raising revenue.

    Usually a cut in services, maintenance, etc.
