Companies usually need to turn a profit the majority of the time in order to stay afloat. Governments don't, and as a result sometimes they don't really care how efficiently they spend their money, or how balanced their budget is.
Taxes are necessary. Government spending is necessary. But, the government has to try as much as possible to spend only what they take it, and do it as efficiently as possible.
If you keep your deficit-GDP ratio around 1-2%, which IIRC is what Canada is at right now, you're doing pretty good.
