Isn't this Politics 101...

It happens all of the time.

"Oh snap, everything that happens over the next four years is someone else's fault, we'll just secretly keep doing what they were doing and hope that no one notices"

For once, I'd love to have a party come in, take a look at the books and say, we know that we promised this stuff, but looking at the books from the previous party we know that we can't deliver our campaign promises for a while, but what we want to focus on is fixing the current issues without driving our province through a fricken debt ceiling.

I would have a lot of respect for the NDP if they came in and said, holy crap, with the spending issues of the last government and the Oil pricing, we won't be able to spend nearly as much especially since we need to get our operations budget under control.

Ah who am kidding.

The common refrain is, well the last party spent like drunken idiots, tried to feather bed themselves and had no idea of the realities of life, so we'll continue down that path, we'll tell you that we'll balance the budget by 2019, but when that doesn't happen we'll blame the last government and leave this mess for the next government.
