I will simplify the question so even a diehard conservative can understand;
What would you do if your household budget were running a deficit?
A) Would you go to your boss and tell him you wanted less money every week because you were going on an austerity program to reduce your annual deficit.
Then go home and tell your family you were cutting back on ALL their expenses such as hockey for Jack, dance classes for Jen and your wife had to get rid of her car plus the clothing allowance for the family was cancelled for the year.
That is what the conservatives have fed you.... extreme austerity to benefit the wealthy.
OR
B) Would you maintain the status quo at work then go home and sit the family down for a group discussion on what each member could do without to help lower annual expenses, cut those expenses and look at what other items you can cut from the household budget that would not affect the families safety umbrella like dental or health care. Then use the savings to pay down your deficit.....
That is the logical way of decreasing your deficit but that is not how conservatives see it. Their cuts are designed to feed the wealthy and the corporations in doing so they forward the liability to the next government and use that as a point of criticism... we see it all the time.
This concept is not limited to Provincial conservatives we have seen it in the Harper years and we are seeing it more and more as corporations have taken over much of the government decisions though lobbying and donations.
