Can you link a single post from anyone saying surpluses should be treated like general funding? That's what I thought.
Keep fighting the good fight against the elitist liberal strawman of your own creation, though!

Sorry I don't have time to go back through 100 pages, but to deny the general consensus among the lefties that Alberta has a huge infrastructure deficit, thus resisting the Danielle Dollars in favor of infrastructure spending, is to ignore the clear implication they believe we have underfunded infrastructure.
If you believe we don't budget for needed infrastrucure/spending, and haven't for awhile, we must assume you believe surplus money must be used for the 'common good' that can't be normally accounted for.
