Its really hard to just cut spending. Especially when health is 44% of the budget.
Pretty suprised to see seniors as the 5th largest budget item at nearly 7% ($2.5 Billion) didn't think they were that expensive. Gotta get out and vote.
Might be a revenue problem too.
Actually its pretty interesting, every Albertan should play around with it. Anyone want the SS emailed, PM me.

Is there detailed line items or just lump sum amounts by category (e.g. Health 10billion, Education 3billion)?
