On average we're spending about 30% more then BC per person for health care and have worse wait times and delivery then that province by a far bit. And you can't tell me that our cost of living is that much higher then BC.

And this is the same old tired NDP argument that oh no we're going to machine gun teachers and doctors and nurses in the ditch

the whole salary structure of the Public Service is out of wack, We have a pension plan that's not sustainable, they're overstaffed in terms of managers, and inside not front line workers.

Because of this we're borrowing money for the day to day operations of the government including writing paychecks and that's just ludicrous, and on top of that the government announces that they're hiring another 250 bureaucrats for god knows what or why.

We're clearly not getting good value for our tax dollars here, and now we're overspending to a stupid level, and yes the PC's put us on the road, but that doesn't mean that the NDP should be excused for taking the wheel, gearing up and driving towards that cliff.

Its easy to say raise taxes to pay for these services, which is just stupid and lazy, and frankly makes this province less attractive to do business in and attract people to, it also makes it harder for people to live not only day to day but actually save for retirement.

Its not an unlimited wallet or pocket.

Its stupid and irresponsible to just keep piling on taxes and robbing peter to pay Paul, especially when there is a real and significant problem with the value that we're getting for what we're paying for.
