Smith noted that the budget, presented last Thursday, allocates $205 million to debt repayment by 2016, when the balance of the $17 billion will be borrowed.
"It's kind of like making the minimum payment on a credit card," said Smith. "Does the premier know that if she only pays the bare minimum, it will take 85 years for her to pay off her $17-billion debt?"

Oh good, more silly quotes likening the governance of a province of over three million people to a teenager going shoe shopping. I wish it was possible for politicians in Alberta to frankly and rationally discuss the issues instead of always pandering to the lowest common denominator.
