I like the idea of more money for the cities and the elimination of tax loopholes sounds like a good thing.
What I really like is the seeming lack of targeted tax breaks and credits for random things. That has bugged me in the last few budgets and it appears they have skipped that this year.
The actual year over year increase is about 1% which is less than inflation and population growth. That is effectively a budget reduction which is a nice change for the government.
In the end, I like it more than previous years, but I really didn't like some of the previous ones that the Conservatives put out.
