Why do we always wait to the last minute.

Groups allow language, culture, communication, governance and advancement. Those are all very long term things.

Herd mentality describes partisan politics quite well actually. The problem I see is the human desire to follow, its less difficult than leading. The Greeks had it right I think, it is the responsibility of all citizens to participate.

If the economy recovers as quickly as the BOC says, and employment picks up at the beginning of next year, I can see a strong case being made to slow down and cut back the stimulus funds....precisely to help ward off inflation. If there really IS going to be a boom, then it doesn't make sense to be pumping stimulus funds into the economy at the same time.

You're forgetting something though. We've already put lots of stimulous funding into the economy. Just cutting back on stimulous won't cut it. Once inflation kicks in again, our priority ought to try to pull all that stimulous money we put into the economy back out again, and the only way to do that is to increase government revenue, decrease spending, or both. Or alternatively, have interest rates go through the roof, but that's only a short term solution for which we have to pay later.

So it's possible that we won't have as big a deficit as projected and in fact, what there is might be paid off in the planned timeframe. That would be good news for Canada.....but probably more bad news for the Liberals.

Who cares about the Liberals. I'm concerned about inflation, and hope it doesn't take us by surprise like the recession did.

Thinking groups, yes. Unthinking ones, no.
