That CTF release was garbage though. I argued about it with him on twitter as well. He factors in the schools and such that the PCs want to build as current spending, but doesn't equate the tax credits from the Wildrose as spending and then argues that that Danidollars somehow don't factor in either. The Wildrose hasn't been anywhere near fiscally prudent, but nice try.
When you include these promises its not nearly the fiscal restraint you would have people believe. Aside from that glaring issue though, what does that have to do with this tax credit and the fact that they are woefully inefficient and sound better than they actually are? You seemed to be all set against them when the PCs were using them, but now that I point out the Wildrose affection for the same policy you are totally in favour?
