Come up with a plan - CaptainCrunch and tell me what you would do. You're just speaking in generalities.
You want to the government to get rid of all public services in order to try and balance a mathematical figure? You've lost your mind.
Millions of Albertans require public services every single day.

A) I'm not in government
B) Where in the frack did I say that I wanted to get rid of all government services
C) Look up the stats on health care deliveries and other government deliveries, we don't exactly rank up there with the other provinces
D) Look up the costs, we pay our government workers more then any other province in Canada and its not close when you do salary comparisons
E) Look at the damn budgets, we are running a day to day deficit just to keep the government going, that is an enormous problem
F) We are now running a deficit that's nearly half as large as the deficit that the government is running the country
So
To conclude, we have a inefficient and over paid and over staffed government sector. Most of the bloat is not on the front line, ie teachers, doctors, nurses, but in the back room administration because we replicate so many services.
We have a province that is running a 10 + billion dollar deficit, that has almost doubled from last years deficit.
We can't keep doing things the same way period.
So, here we go, across the board, we reduce salaries of inside workers to match the rest of Canada.
The Pensions get slashed to a point that they're fundable
We do an efficiency study to not only reduce the required employment levels for administration and logistics, but also a man power study, then we take the savings a look to invest them into front line manpower.
Now to look at your post
How in the blue hell is what we're doing right now at all logical, smart and efficient.
The government right now has to shrink, that's just the way it is.
