You can deny that, or say there is no proof, but that is just intellectually dishonest. While we might not be accurate right to the penny, we have information that suggests fairly accurate figures and the Liberal Party has chosen to ignore these and claim a balanced budget.
That's why we're arguing in circles; you have no desire to actually look at the platform with numbers that are accurate because the budget won't balance. Instead you only want to talk about how bad the other parties are and how they're budgets are wrong. I say let the Liberal Party budget stand for itself, and if it can actually balance given the more accurate information than so be it.

No, I'm looking at all platforms throught the same lens. You want to debate the wildrose budget, and only the wildrose budget. But if you analyzed the liberal budget with the same intellectual honestly, they have just as many, if not more holes in it than the wildrose.
They have 14 totally un-costed spending promises. They have tax revenues pulled out of thin air. If you want to look at the platforms with accurate numbers, how come you only want to do that to one party?
Also, FYP.
