I know you desperately want to turn this into a partisan discussion, but again its not. The US is in the same position and for the exact same reason as the path Canada is choosing here. You alluded to this in your post. I would also submit that it is much easier to cut the program spending we're talking about here than it is to cut military spending. You seem to think that the US could simply do this, but I think its a lot harder.
What this all boils down to though is basically nothing. Its $20M. You can't even buy a nice bridge for that kind of money. Can Bev Oda even get a hotel room and OJ with that? If this is where the government has arrived in their prioritizing to save money and meet budget projections though, things must be pretty bleak.

Ok, it's nothing, just 20 million, thats all, peanuts as another poster stated. You and I will not see eye to eye on this one.
