If you want to use a home example, laying off a bunch of public sector employees to balance the books a bit more in the short term would be like buying a couch for $700 and then selling it the next month for $500 because you need the money.
You're better off to just borrow what you need that month and pay it off because you've already paid out for the couch, and you're just going to have to buy one again anyway.
Honestly, what do you want the province to do right now, lay off 15% of the provincial workforce?
What's an appropriate solution that won't have you complaining about the direction the government is taking here?
