Except that I don't buy a new house every year. The same way, the province doesn't build 25 years worth of infrastructure in the first year and do nothing for the next 25.
They build something every year so if they borrow this year, next year they have to pay down the original amount and borrow more for that years project. It is an endless cycle that we finally broke out of.
