As I watch other countries from around the world such as Greece struggle with debt, out of control government spending, salaries, bloated public sectors, out of control demands from unions, high taxes…etc. I could not help but wonder why we are so concerned with other countries when we have a mess on our hands right here in Canada.
Quebec’s debt and spending is out of control with no end in sight. Ontario is now following Quebec’s lead in government growth, skyrocketing public service salaries and excessive spending. I won’t even mention how out of control spending has been in Ottawa at the Federal and municipal levels.
Taxes are going up everywhere. People are deeply concerned about personal debt. 3.5 million people now work for government in Canada. The only people who have lost jobs during this so-called recession are from the private sector.
When will all levels of government start downsizing, reducing debt, lowering our taxes? Don’t you get it, you can’t continue to raise taxes, hire more people to work in government, increase debt loads…etc. Just look at Greece as an example of what we are creating here in Canada. This is a disaster in the making.
Wake up, you brain dead politicians. You are creating this mess. Think of the future for a change.
