Then why are we running a deficit even when you factor those mega projects out? The obvious answer- we are spending more than we are bringing in. That's the problem I see; we need to get our spending under control. It would be one thing if we were borrowing a billion or two here or there for a major project that has long term benefits. However we are talking about the day to day expenses of running the province are costing more than we make.
