Maybe "penny wise- pound foolish" is quite the simplification; but it does hold true. We have a premier with a spending problem, and a province with a debt/ deficit problem. It isn't about the $45K when the province has an annual budget in the 10's of billions. It's about how she spends money, and how she wastes money. If she wastes money on travel; where else does she waste? And how do the hundreds of people who work under her also spend their work budgets? (And carry that on through policies, etc.)
