Sure, we should spend more money because next year we will spend more money? Makes sense to me.
Lots of these savings would last in perpetuity (elimination of huge and wasteful departments).
You could tie salary increases to inflation. I never budgeted any savings for hiring freeze anyways. Learn to live within a realistic budget. These kinds of things happen to families every day, and yet it's impossible for a government to do the same thing?
Its about prioritization, efficiency and delivering on core accountability. Something the PC's are terrible at.
