Ralph's "huge" cuts never cut us below a provincial average in spending. Since then, Alberta has outspent every other province considerably, and in some years spent as much as several provinces combined. And yet, people still see a lack of results on the front line.
We spend 25% MORE per person than Ontario. That's EVERY person. Why do we spend double what saskatchewan does on Agriculture, when they have more farmland than us? Why do we spend twice as much than BC every year on transportation when they have more population and mountainous terrain? Why do we have twice as many public employees per person than every other province?
This bloated spending has led to increased public salaries, and waste. The answer isn't to spend more on these things, but to fix the spending we have and eliminate waste. And to stop our bloated bureaucracy from expecting billion dollar shots in the arm year after year.

How do you reconcile your support for reduced government spending with your seemingly favourable opinion of RalphBucks/DanielleDividends? If you want to reduce inefficient government spending and waste, shouldn't you be opposed to this if your position is to be logically consistent?
