Economic update is coming

[Topaz]

Soon the finance minister will tell Canadians how bad things are. One part, by 2014 the deficit will be 144 Bil and still they are going ahead with an extra 47 BILLION corporate tax cuts! Why? Could it be that there are a number of these members are business owners themselves and I'm sure they are shareholders, who will benefit of what policies they do now for the future. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/873554--economic-update-to-expose-harper-s-budget-dilemma?bn=1

Soon the finance minister will tell Canadians how bad things are.

The way I see it, the Finance Minister will confirm what Canadians already know. The gist of it is that the boom times are over and the economy is still fragile. He'll spit out some numbers to make his case. Few people will be surprised.

It's not news that he will say that the corporate tax cuts will go ahead. Thankfully, we finally have policy that differentiates the Conservatives from the Liberals. The Liberals would nix the cuts to fund a $1B yearly program for caregivers and other social programs that have yet to be costed. Any my bet is they would cancel the purchase of the F-35s.

Why? Could it be that there are a number of these members are business owners themselves and I'm sure they are shareholders, who will benefit of what policies they do now for the future.

You're that sure? Then perhaps you could share your source of information of which Conservative owns which businesses or which company shares that would benefit from those corporate tax cuts.

That's a complete lie. That number is the total of several deficits, not one years worth.

Not to mention the number won't be that high at all. The deficit would be pretty much gone next year if it weren't for the fact that US economy seems allergic to growth.

Then why don't you wait until he tells us?

Very true. That seems to be the main sticking point for our inconsistent recovery. It'd be nice to see the US economy start to grow, even at just a 2 - 2.5% range. It would make a world of difference.

I WILL try to find it but I was just surfing and came upon something about members pay and that most of the members have businesses, which surprised me.

I didn't say ONE year worth, I said BY 2014 deficit will be 144 BILLION and they will reduced corporate tax. So if they keep reducing corporate tax , were are they going to get the money to reduce the deficit? Personal taxes? Yard sale?
