I consider this to be a silly statement. Nobody believes in not trying to be economically efficient and even under the best of circumstances the budgets of successful businesses increase.

The rest of the post was essentially trying to sugar coat the lack of substance behind continually pretending there’s enough fat to be trimmed to significantly improve the budget without significantly affecting services. Basically if curves or councillor McLean don’t care that services may be negatively impacted I think they should just own it instead of trying to convince us that it’s not the case.
