Trudeau Liberals to spend more on debt payments than health


Recommended Posts

https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/trudeau-liberals-to-spend-more-on-debt-payments-than-health

Last week the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) released a report warning that the Trudeau government’s spending plans remain out of control. The amount that taxpayers spend just to service the national debt is expected to go up by 33.4% this current year and 11.6% in the coming year.

That means the amount we pay to cover just the interest on the national debt will rise from $35 billion last year to $46.7 billion this year and $52.1 billion next year. It’s important to put those figures in perspective because those debt payments offer no services and rob precious dollars from services.

By next year, the federal government will spend more on debt payments, $52.1 billion, than they do on health transfers to the provinces and territories, $49.2 billion. The debt payments will be 9.3 times the $5.6 billion the Trudeau Liberals are spending to get their $10-a-day child care off the ground.

 

The left just doesn't get it. When they support deficit spending like trudeau has done - they  are stealing money from the future people who desperately need it. Now we have less for health, less for daycare, less for everything.

I would love to hear from a liberal supporter how they justify their support of this nonsense to the people who are going to have to go without as a result.

From the OP's article;

One of the reasons the Bank of Canada didn’t announce interest rate cuts last week and is unlikely to next month is the rate of government spending.

It doesn't make sense though. The BOC knows full well Canada will soon be governed by PP's Conservatives meaning everything that's broken will be fixed and as right as rain in no time at all.

The left actually does get this but the right seems to lack the courage of it's convictions.

The left can't cope with it and thus remains silent.  The right already knows it.

Hell you've still got those on the left trying to claim it's Harper's fault (including justin)We still see people on this very site regularly defending justin and his spending and his fiscal policy - and even if they condemn him personally they still back the libs and dips who voted yes to all this.

That's 19 months away.  That's not "soon" at all. The damage justin can do in that time is huge. They can't take the risk till they know he's gone.

Where did you get the idea pp will be in "Soon"?  I know you have trouble counting - take your mittens off and try again

It's soon enough given the three terms some people seem to think they'll be in power.

In any case, I could care less about the debt given the quadrillions of dollars worth of wealth there is in the world. Money is the least of humanity's problems - what to do with it all is the problem.

In what way would the time they're going to be in power define whether or not WHEN they get into power is going to happen 'soon'?

Honestly - some days you could stupid for the olympics

Blah blah blah excuse excuse distract from left wing failure at all costs blah blah...

Hey - if money isn't a concern we can stop worrying about those who are poor right? Might as well let all those wealthy people keep their cash, they care about it more.

Except you constantly crybaby about how you DO care about money and desperately want to steal other peoples because you don't earn enough yourself and are jealous.

At the end of the day - people will get less health care than they need.  That's just a fact. Because we're blowing our money on the interest on the debt your buddy racked up. Do you care about that? About people who are suffering in pain because they won't get the treatment they need because trudeau has to pay the credit card bill? Does that matter to you? Maybe it doesn't

The great speed with which things will change once the Liberals as dispatched.

And don't rule out the possibility the NDP will pull the plug.

I said the concern is what we do with it.  So no we can't stop worrying about the poor at all.

Tax not steal, because I care about there being so many poor people that it'll be another cause for war and far greater suffering.

I'd worry more about the great speed at which your braincells are being dispatched these days,

Always possible but unlikely in the near future.

Sure we can - Like you said it doesn't matter  so we don't need to worry about it.

Quote

Tax not steal,

Neither. Sorry. ANd you don't care about anyone. You just like to virtue signal. So the rich might as well keep their cash.  Maybe we can get them to chip in for some nice bootstraps for those poor that don't have them? :)  Sorry kiddo - but you lost the right to make that arguement when you claimed not to care about the fact we can't afford health care because there's so much money.

You're just being silly, you know perfectly well taxation and emergency appropriations are entirely legal.

IT's not a question of being legal. It's a question of who gets into power and what their mandate is.  People are done with being excessively taxed. Kill the cbc, cut the social programs, let people keep their money - that'll be the new mandates. Polievre says he's going to turn the cbc offices into housing :)  LOL!

We can tax the poor if you like - they have to provide free labour or something for the 'glory of society' .  I mean, it's not like they're doing anything else, they're poor.

Sure they are. Tax the rich more appropriately and that will change.

The 1% can also pay higher wages so everyone can afford to pay more tax.  But if you'd rather they just pay the government to redistribute societies wealth have it your way I guess.

Tax the rich less and no more freebies is the answer people will go for and they'll elect politicians that agree.  Your buddy justin has shown the country that taxing the rich is a fast way to go broke.

They'll have even more if we stop wasting their money on poor people.  The middle class has realized when you tax the 'rich' its the middle class that suffer and they're done with that.

You and your kind brought this on yourselves kiddo.  We've done 10 years of going woke - now we're broke -and as i've been saying all along (for decades now) it's the poor who end up paying for that. Hypocrisy has a price.

Welcome to the new canada.  :)

Wait until PP cozies up to Canada's unions and eschews our corporations, something you're trumpeting will be the case in your other thread.

Hes pretty much eschewing the unions too.  He's essentially commiting to listening to the people and the unions and corporations will have to convince them, not him

Now-  i know that the idea of a politician that listens to the people and not special interest groups pisses you lefties off horribly but you'll just have to get used to it for now.  Probably wont' last more than,  ohhhh ... 15 - 20 years or so? :) LOL!

Why? The idea that PP will spend money on what people want, not blow it and rack up  debt is entirely germaine to the subject at hand.

Or are you just butt hurt your golden boy has proven that if you vote woke you go broke and would rather contain it.

The idea it that PP also won't do what people don't want which is to see a region  carved out of a national policy for political gain, especially when it's at everyone else's expense.

Ok - he won't do that either.  (do you even know what you're talking about at this point?)
