What isn't "easy" is getting that budget to pass. How many times has it been said already that any budget that didn't include a stimulus would have been voted down? Which means either a large deficit or higher taxes and a smaller deficit or taxes so high they would have driven us straight into a Depression.
We were getting this budget, whether it was at the hands of the PCs or the Liberal/Socialist/Separatist coalition. There was no chance that were not going to have a deficit budget this year. You can thank Jack Layton for that.
