Another good sign that you're not actually fiscally responsible is not understanding the value of debt financing investment.

Oh I understand and agree that we sometimes need to invest in all those things. Right now, we pay close to $40 billion per year just to service our national debt. This is not even paying it down.
That is one reason why I never agreed with Liberal government saying they were going to run a moderate deficit in 2015, then balance the books after that (spoiler, he never did).
