Show me the waste. Gun registry? Nope that costs about a million now to administer.
Health Care? Idealogically you may find it wasteful but politically it's not. People like it in its current iteration. And what are you really saying, that the Liberal's platform would be to reduce waste (funding) for health care. yeah that's a winner
Where else? Billions in dollars in fighter jets? Oh no that's not waste because I'm wearing a blue jersey.
Bottom line, there is very little "waste" to get rid of. It's just a convenient and asinine talking point of the extreme right wing.

Actually its widely reported and available that the cost per year of the gun registry is north of 65 mil per year just to administer. That doesn't include policing and enforcing which is likely at minimum another 60mil per year. That in itself would fund the liberal veteran assistance program or do a lot of good around the counrty.
Who are you referencing when you say people like healthcare in its current system? I'm saying continuously plugging holes with more money is ridiculous. People are dying in waiting rooms because of overcrowding (thanks liberals of the 90's). Our country is becoming obese, extremely unfit and costing our system millions and something needs to change in the education and administration of our system as opposed to just increasing funding year after year.
Only an elitist liberal supporter would claim that paying now to purchase jets that will not only open up a massive job sector for the country for service and upkeep but also serve our country for the next 20 years as a waste. The cf-18 fleet is going to cost more to upkeep for the next 20 years because they are so old then actually purchasing these new jets.
Like it or not our country needs an air force...we aren't some tiny European nation with 50k square km of land to monitor and our current planes are becoming unsafe (ala our helicopter fiasco - thanks liberals again).
