Andrea Horwaths election dilemma over an NDP dream budget, delivered by the Liberals: The only way for progressive politicians to turn thumbs down is by holding their collective, progressive noses. This budgets proposals are nothing to sneeze at... After four years of restraint, getting operating spending down and implementing a lot of the Drummond commission (austerity report) proposals, they still have four more years ahead to get back to balance. And its important to get back to balance and stabilize the debt-to-GDP ratio. The Liberals have beat their budget targets five years in a row and are planning to hold program spending growth to one percentage point below revenues until the debt returns to pre-recession levels of 27 per cent of GDP, he said. They also have the lowest program spending per capital among the provinces.
