But on the other hand a 'non-chicken in every pot' budget would be music to voters like my ears. Seems to me most budgets since the late 90s were all about chicken in every pot type policies regradless of which party introduced them. If we're serious about eliminating the deficit and eventually eliminating the additional debt incurred since the financial crisis then I expect to see cutbacks and possibly a GST increase (Although it would never happen from the Conservatives because they would look bad after cutting it 200 bps!)
