But also; I believe Slava has stated numerous times he won't be voting UCP? I could be remembering incorrectly.

Well, prepare for disappointment. We're just arguing in circles, and there's not point. I say they way overspent in 2015 and BBS says yes, but they had to. We're never going to convince each other, so it just doesn't matter.

I'm sure I do seem very caustic to you, but I believe it or not it's not out of malice. It's more frustration than anything, because I do actually think positively of you, but as I've written multiple times now you persist in making excuses for the UCP, and you repeat age-old conservative talking points about "how much worse the NDP are fiscally" when actually real-world experience shows us that's blatantly untrue. You seem to get so close to finally having this 'click', and then you'll spout some baseless crap about how much worse the NDP would be. |
No, I'm not making excuses for the UCP. I'm saying that while I will likely end up voting for the NDP, I do worry about them fiscally, and here's why. It's not "age-old conservative talking points", it's the facts of what they did and what they refused to do when they put out their budgets. It's not like I made this up...S&P and Fitch told them before they released the budgets that they shouldn't do this, and they did it any way! That's why the credit rating got cut. That's just literally what happened.
