Laughable point to bandy about. Harper has an economics degree. Oh yeah? Great, prove to me that he uses it because there's a steady stream of evidence indicating that most of his economic policies were misguided. Look no further than the GST cut which almost every economist was critical of.
The GST point I will give you 100%. The GST is a very efficient tax. But I do believe that he knew a GST cut was not the most economic way of going about things. It was a political move. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is up for discussion, but I do think he knew what it meant for the economy.


However please back up your claim that his policies indicate he doesn't remember "anything from his economics degree" with more examples.
