Austerity has failed to spurn on the economy in europe.
Your ideas have failed.
why do you support historically failed ideas?
*grins*
What a bullshit fucking article!
In the article they are talking about the 90's with Chretien as Prime Minister who had Paul Martin as his right hand man as a fabulous finance minister.
Their edge in getting rid of the deficit in the 90's that was still a hangover from the Trudeau years was a 7% GST (goods and services tax) that was implemented by Mulroney (conservative) as a temporary measure.
There are other issues with the GST as well. But that's a different story.
Fuck that noise on small tax increases. Imagine everything in your life just goes up 7% and you budget for it.
It was tough, and they got us out of a huge deficit, but then they never reduced the tax. They kept it on.
Not ONE part of that article deals with the global recession of the latter part of last decade till now.
And how our Conservative government kept their sticks on the ice and kept us ahead of everyone in the G7 on recovery.
It's total unadulterated fucking bullshit. Boy, I'm pissed but thanks for the article because I shall write a letter to the editor and blast them a new orifice.
blast your new oriface at them all you like.
they weill merely laugh at your made up partisan world veiw
Limitled spending and budgetary restraint should not be considered when the people have wants and needs...
All can be paid back later..........Print those dollars, there are social welfare programs to fund !!!! lol
this is why your party is dying
Dont let the facts muddy your made up world
this is why your party is dying
this is why your party is dying
Well it's pretty strange that the author of the piece touts Germany's low unemployment and then complains that austerity measures don't work.
Here's the author of your linked piece.
"Euro zone unemployment just hit a 15-year high. German unemployment just hit a 15-year low
Why?
Guess when Merkel introduced austerity measures? Check the date now....
Germany Introduces Austerity Measures
by Eric Westervelt
June 8, 2010
The German government has announced a package of spending cuts intended to keep the country's sovereign debt in check. Chancellor Merkel says Germany needs to save around $100 billion over the next four years. She also hopes other countries using the euro will follow Germany's lead and introduce their own austerity programs to help strengthen confidence in the currency.

You're quite right. Numbers don't lie.
I see according to you austerity failed because there wasn't enough austerity. come back when you are able to actually think and are not a retardAusterity has failed to spurn on the economy in europe.
Your ideas have failed.
why do you support historically failed ideas?
Au contraire, Bride of Franco.
Greece just passed their austerity measures. JUST passed them. March 2012.
Ditto Spain. January 2012.
How on earth can one judge if the measures have worked or not when they've just been implemented?
Dont let the facts muddy your made up world
I suppose that 17 Trillion is made up??[
I suppose that 49% who pay no Fed taxes is made up as well??
Your a flamming idiot and a blind one at that.
Yes you being clueless and ignorant means others are idiotsthis is why your party is dying
No. This is why you are a partisan hack and a flamming idiot.
I see so you hope that we implement austerity measures that have never worked and have failed every time they were tried. Clearlrly you are nto even smart enough to breathe on your ownThe only facts you like are your own.
Canada turned itself around big time in the 90's.
One can only hope we are smart enough to do the same.
