In hindsight I’m sure the Government wishes it had not spent at the rate it did for the past 10 years, but then again no one saw the drop in oil coming as it did.

Putting billions into the pensions to try and reduce the liability, extending generous raises to the public sector and spending billions on infrastructure were all good things, things that were needed, but perhaps it should have been done at a slower rate.

They can reduce spending on one-time things but it would be impossible to roll back any wages at this point. We might just have to suck it up for a few years and hope that revenues increase. I wonder if the Liberals really want to take over now?
