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.

Why should we accept less than what was promised by any party? You can take it to the bank that if the Liberals were elected I would expect them to keep their promises as well. Its hardly asking too much of a party to let them set the bar and then expect them to clear it. I have no idea why you apparently think otherwise.
