Yes because we all know that every government service is completely efficient and that the 4:1 manager ratio is absolutely necessary.

There is no proof, whatsover, that cuts will impact service, it's simply a left wing talking point.

From the items in the "budget" they released its a grand total of $52 million (aside from the carbon capture) that is actually given a figure. Nothing else looks like they've got figures for it at all.

My favorite (as noted before though) is that $7 Million for public affairs. Basically this is the definition of pennywise and pound foolish.
Aside from the billions, its only 52 million.
