Last election was a stark contrast fiscally between keeping taxes flat and cutting spending for a balanced budget (Wildrose)

The problem I -- and many others -- had with the Wildrose platform is that it was full of unicorns and rainbows but very short on specifics. How, exactly, were they planning to balance the budget while keeping service quality consistent without raising taxes? Other than performing ritual sacrifices to the O&G gods in the hopes that royalties would magically increase back to ~2005 levels, their numbers just didn't add up...unless, of course, you bought into the grand lie that there's tens of billions to be found simply by "cutting waste" and "finding efficiencies".
