It takes time and resolve but it can be done. Mulroney started turning the ship around (not fast enough) and Chretien carried on those policies to balance the budget and pay down debt. Harper turned over a balanced (or very nearly balanced) budget to Trudeau after a worldwide recession. Several Premier's have balanced their books after years of deficit. Most memorable are probably Klein and Harris who made fairly drastic cuts after years and years of mismanagement. That's what happens when you let debt pile up, brutal cuts need to be made.
