That is true (about the recession not lasting). At the same time though the CPC is going to have to explain why this minor little recession has sent the government spiralling into deficit.

I know that the easy argument is that they had to do this otherwise the Liberals and NDP would've brought down the house. The problem is that you can't both take the credit for the government intervention and also say that it was your opponents who caused the debt, if you see what I mean here.
