The Liberal numbers fail to account for the lost business due to increases in tax rates. Of course, they like to pretend that won't happen, but everyone knows when you raise taxes often you see a loss in productivity and overall revenues (laffer curve). So one could easily claim their balanced budget is wrong as well.
Well when every other party in the campaign acknowledges that cutting the CCS would save far less than $2B, save for the Wildrose, I know who I believe!

The Liberals are also in favour of cutting that program for example, yet they say that the savings are actually $500M. If we're using that as a guide the Wildrose has $1.5B to make up...fiscal conservative or not, thats a deep hole!
