Herbie would already have started a topic for it and he and eyeball would be ranting about government corruption.

Loser lefty writes a bunch of lies to make himself feel better.  ALMOST manages to make it a haiku  

Of course there's alternatives, the conservative proposed a bunch of alternatives. They didn't even ask for a balance budget and they said they were willing to accept as a compromise carney's promises from the election of about 62 billion dollar deficits.

That would be extremely easy, we don't need 50 billion in infrastructure spending right now. All that does is create inflationary pressure. You could achieve as much or more economic stimulation with 25 to 30 billion dollars that was properly targeted and reduce the amount of inflation impact.

That one thing alone would have gotten them tory support. And there are several other suggestions that they made

The fact that you feel the need to lie about it proves that you know you're in the wrong

It's the job of the PBO to examine and judge the budget. In this, they're a better opposition than the Conservatives (meaning Poilievre) who still just spouts slogans and empty rhetoric.

A judgment is not fact though and no one can 100% predict the future.

Also from the PBO: "That is, based on Finance Canada projections, current fiscal policy in Budget 2025 would be deemed sustainable over the long term. "

You seem to know a lot about empty rhetoric.

Why are you frightened of Poilievre?

I understand why you feel you need to lie about Poilievre when we're discussing carney. Anything you can do to distract and not have to address the issues the better right?

As it is the PBO will always be in a better position when it comes to budgets. He has access to information that the opposition party simply don't and has a full-time staff and budget just to analyze this stuff. That's why Stephen Harper created the position in the first place, and then famously fought with the guy all the time. Conservatives support more information being available even when it's inconvenient

It would seem the liberals are looking for someone who they can shut up or get to speak the way they want.

What do you have to say about that as a liberal supporter?

They've got the track record to suggest they're more likely to be correct than not. There's no particular reason to doubt them. This isn't a judgment, these are calculations based on their knowledge training experience and data. It's possible to be wrong but it's unlikely to be substantially wrong. So a reasonable person would assume that until evidence shows otherwise it's most likely to be correct

If he hits all of his projections. If carney is right and doesn't go over budget or doesn't have lower revenues and the revenue increases that he's predicting come true.

But if that's not the case then we are well under sustainability. And the rest of his report says that there is only a 7% chance carney is going to hit all of his targets.

So now what do you say to that?

Far better to be left side than the WRONG side all of the time.

Incapable of truth, comprehension or discussion whatsoever relies solely on ad hominem, claiming any counterpoints are lies is constructive debate.
I have never seen such a concerted effort to avoid, deflect, lie, obfuscate and deny as by the so-called "right" (ie: the wrong) as by the handful of cult members on this forum.
Go on, double down with more of your belief in 'alternate truths', conspiracies, that cognitive dementia tests are IQ exams, the MSM lies, and three word slogans shouted loudly equals policy.
You merely strengthen the argument of the Triumph of the Ignoroids and the rise of Idiocracy. Satire taken as Scripture by the marginally sentient.

Umm being on the left IS being wrong all the time

Again  pretty much the left

No still pretty much the left  

Pretty much anytime the left makes an accusation of something it's actually a confession of their own behavior and an attempt to deflect. You guys take projection to a new level

And you demonstrated here all the time. You make ridiculous and nonsense statements either attacking the right Or defending the left and it's always childish nonsense.

Let's have a demonstration. The PBO just announced that carney's budget violates every other countries definition versus capital. Including England which is where carney learned his version of this.

Comment on that. Explain how that's okay without using any lies or deflecting or anything like that

You should address the actual issue.  What would you say if Pierre tried to replace the PBO after he was critical of parts of this budget?  You're being disingenuous.
