They are. Spending increases are being restricted to under 2%. Employees are having everything cutback from office supplies to water and coffee. Firing people is more harmful to the economy then anything else. Our whole system runs on consumers, they are the only job creators in capitalism.
Putting these people out of work will just increase unemployment, decrease GDP, increase expenditures on EI and social services. I get having to take on some debt to keep the lights on sucks, but someone has to explain to me how firing people does any good for the economy?
It's not going to lower taxes so it's not like it will increase other people spending. It won't increase investment as there are less consumers for goods. What are the positives?
Keeping the public service stable and growing at inflation makes sense to me.
