Nothing is simple here. A "simple reduction is public service spending could reduce debt in no time", no? A "simple increase in provincial income tax rate could reduce debt in no time", no? Advocating for PST as a universal solution to deal with debt is same as asserting that simply pumping more oil from a well would make it more profitable. It's nonsense. To get more from the people, governments must assure first they have more to give.
