They certainly have not indicated the political will to cut. Reading through their platform they are just going to do all the same stuff cheaper.
I'm not a fan of the light bulb program, and think they could have done things that would have done more on every level. But the UPC had no intention of collecting that revenue, so it would not have effected the debt at all, and from a Keynesian stand point it may been the right move to setup what was essentially a lower income government jobs program in the face of a recession.

Keysian stimulus is not spending money on useless Jobs. That’s just a terrible wrong assertion. If you believe that hiring people to do work is good job creation you still need that work to be productive otherwise you only get half of the benefit.
