What does the PST do for you or me? Big fat nothing. Except for the added cost.
Budget surpluses and deficits are mostly about politics.
The debt will never be paid off (Ralph didn't really pay it off) nor should it even be a priority.
Government borrowing is not the same as what we do. Neither are government budgets. Government doesn't need to pay this off so they can retire. They don't retire. There is no term. It's all about cost to service and with the economy expanding and picking up steam here and there the servicing costs are easily manageable.
Deficits, debt and your kids having to pay for that are election fodder. Don't fall for it.
No PST for me.
