Being old enough to actually remember the 1982 budget debacle and having a lot of respect for David Dodge, this is a truly scary 2024 budget prediction. ctvnews.ca/politics/why-o…
@DonMartinCTV I remember when you werent always vying for a Con Senate seat. Wait! No I dont!
Dodge was the Finance guru who lead Canada out of the mess Pierre Trudeau left for Mulroney to clean up. Now he is seeing the same destructive economics coming from Justin. It took 20 years to recover from the mess Pierre left, it will take double that to recover from Justin's economic fiasco.
@DonMartinCTV @srduquette3 Some governments like to make voters richer because that's where their votes are. Other governments l prefer to make government richer . . . Because that's where THEIR votes are. Too bad for us about today's govt.
How do Liberal wealth taxes work? Step 1: Tax a billionaire business owner an extra $50 mil/yr for being too ‘rich’ 2: He raises prices $75-100 mil/yr of the products he sells 3: Inflation, less sales, jobs lost 4: Av guy pays the price, affords less, lose his job, is worse off Trudeau smiles.
@DonMartinCTV I would buy his argument if trickle down economics wasn’t a bad joke.
@DonMartinCTV Is he basically suggesting scrapping investments and incentives to fix the housing market only because it will produce a deficit of around 1% of GDP? Looks like making a mountain out of a molehill.
