I realize you have already answered to this. The price of oil was fluctuating before, during and after the election, besides the fact that they should be taking that into account it still doesn't even come close to accounting for the extra 20 billion this year alone. There is no rational way to try and explain how much extra debt we are taking on by blaming the price of oil. Same as the provincial NDP they have a problem with out of control spending, difference is that the feds don't have nearly the same revenue problem.
