Wasn't that basically what the 2009 federal budget proposed to do until the opposition threatened to topple the government unless wild stimulus packages were doled out?
I think the best budget is a balanced budget. People who rave about the surpluses that the Liberals had under Chretien make me wonder if they actually understand what a surplus is. It literally means that we paid more in taxes and got less in services. Not sure how that is desirable.
