So the PC's with full access to an entire budgeting department tasked solely with creating the new budget said things were great and missed by 6 billion dollars. The WRP looked through the PC's numbers and said they were optimistic and that spending should be reduced to make sure we don't have a deficit. As it turns out the WRP were being a bit optimistic and under their campaign plan only managed to save 3 billion dollars, leaving them off by 3 billion.
The Liberals on the other hand promised 3 billion in tax increases which would still have them blowing the budget by 3 billion. Following your reasoning that is equally pathetic.
I didn't look up the NDP promises.
Both sets of figures though do not account for any reaction that the Liberals or Wildrose would have done if elected.
