Why has the number of public employees ballooned in the same period (almost double the amount of growth as the private sector)... with higher wages why do we need even more employees?
Why has the % of our labor expenses per total expenditures gone from 25% to over 45% in only ten years?
Something doesn't add up. And it ain't a lack of revenues!

I don't know where any of these numbers are coming from. Source?
And, yes, I believe that what primarily does not add up is revenues (unless of course Albertans are happy to use resource revenues to artificially keep their taxes low. If so, carry on I suppose.
