I blame Redford's frivolous spending not on the increase of AISH alone but the fact that she doesn't understand we, including the government, must live within our means.
If you give the disabled more, you are giving the seniors, school children or sick patient less. Redford once said she wanted everyone in Alberta to do well. Such is a grant but childish notion. There isn't one society in the history of where everyone did well. You could have in one society a bigger proportion of people do well than another society. That's my anti-socialist's bleeding heart sentiment rant.
Last year this time, Redford was spending taxpayer's monies like a drunken sailor. Now, I give her credit for at least coming to her senses that she doens't have a bottomless wallet and tough choices will have to be made. And that's what the politicians are paid to do.
