A year and a bit ago, the Finance Department said the government was running a small surplus. The 2016 budget was a modest $10B deficit for 4 years. By the fall, this grew to $30 B.
Just before Christmas, the Finance Department said the federal government will run a deficit until the 2050's, thirty more years of going into debt. I really don't give a damn if the "debt to GDP ratio" will stay the same or decrease slightly. Debt is debt and it costs hundreds of millions of dollars a year to service.

This really scares me. How will our children and their children ever deal with this.
