Angry in the Great White North had a post yesterday regarding our spendthrift Liberal government.

When things get lean, I, like most other people, cut away the "fun" stuff. Fewer evenings out, or none altogether. Rent a movie instead of going to the movie theatre. Spending vacations closer to home instead abroad. If the cash crunch is more chronic, then the cutting goes deeper. Fewer cable channels. Fewer cell phone features, or maybe no cell phone at all. Simpler and cheaper foods bought in bulk.

What of governments? Does the same apply to them?

Apparently not in Canada. You'd think in a cash crunch, the government's priorities would mimic any sane person's. Keep the roads and airports and sea lanes functioning. Pay for border controls and for defence. The nation is now fed and sheltered.

He then goes on to point out the myriad ways that our government is throwing its non-exsitent cash around, like a gold bedecked pimp on a Saturday night. He sites Canoe as his source.

Is that what our government and our Prime Minister are? Pimps? They'll dole out the cash for cultural programs and "bilingualism education," leaving nothing left to pay the rent. Seriously, folks, our government needs a wife to look after the bills. Someone with a little sense.
