Maybe... just maybe... when the economy contracts, so should the government. - Dr.Vermin Jul 8, 15:57 11
- There are plenty of issues with government, but what you suggest would deepen and prolong any economic downturn. -- nm - TWuG Jul 8, 16:07 3
  - Oh, I doubt it. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Jul 8, 16:13 2
    - Actions taken today bear little resemblance to actions taken during the depression. - TWuG Jul 8, 16:16 1
      - *snork* -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 8, 16:19
- Herbert Hoover? That you? -- nm - Reagen Jul 8, 15:58
- this is about Canada; the "right" is currently in "power", although they can't get much done. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 15:58 5
  - ironically...they got a lot of less public important things done but can not seem to get anywhere on big important issues.... - Walt_Disney Jul 8, 16:03 4
    - This I can agree with. Harper is a cooly efficient administrator, but gets all the broad strokes wrong. -- nm - Reagen Jul 8, 16:06 3
      - but it still sounds like they're doing it wrong - they lowered the GST at the wrong time ... - Beryllium Jul 8, 16:12 2
        
        It was a very weird thing to get hung on. Nobody really cares about the GST anymore. - Reagen Jul 8, 16:19
        
        or, let me rephrase that: "at what looked like the right time but turned out very much not to be" -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 16:13
Do it! F*@& DO IT! It's time people faced up to reality! California, you're losing every single effing public service until you choose to pay up. - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 8, 15:49
