This is what happens when a Govt propagandizes about standing behind our military then delays spending and starves departments (eg: VA).    At some point the spending has to happen because hot air, Action Plan ads, gazebos and 24/7 PMO YouTube channels don't accomplish anything.       Of course, the Liberals will have  to cut somewhere else or raise taxes, or both - but anybody who thinks this spending isn't needed hasn't been paying attention.     In a similar vein - where the heck are the Arctic ice breaker promised in the 2005 campaign?      That money has to come from somewhere too.     

Deficits are growing but a lot of it is because we  had 10 years of kicking the can down the road.   What was built and where did all the money spent go?
