Comment: It's called living within ones means something socialists don't comprehend. Your recourse is to tax more and go into more debt, Harper had 2 years of surpluses prior to the 2008 global recession. To look at a good fiscal responsible government compare Harper from 2008 to 2015 and Obama, Harper went into debt by $3700 per capita whereas Obama (a socialist) cost every American $28,000. What amazes me is most leftys will criticize Harper for going into debt yet have no problem when PM Tater Tot lies and gives money away to others living Canadian sucking the hind teat...hypocrites
