Sure, but lets not get too crazy here. The deficit this year is $800M and frankly that is no big deal. Every party, regardless of where they sit on the spectrum projects surplus budgets over the next few years.
In that case spending what is necessary today to make sure that the services are provided is both responsible and sustainable. Cutting more than we need to isn't fiscally responsible, its pure ideology plain and simple.
