I'm not saying I like it, but it's a bit of false outrage to criticize the Liberals for doing something that the Conservatives have proven more than willing to engage in.

Honestly I don't see it as quite the same scenario, so we'll have to agree to disagree.
The spending was put out there without preconditions, in otherwords it might have gained more votes it might not have. It was part of the budget which was passed by the house, and it didn't represent a long term deal which distorted the government.
