Blame it on the revolution

When Mike Harris was premier he brought in "The Common Sense Revolution".It brought with it government cutbacks and layoffs.But Mike did cut back on government spending as he promised.However there was a backlash from the "revolution".The Liberals got in with big numbers and this brought us Dalton Mcguinty and new increases in government spending.Dalton brought in the P.S.T  to match the federal government's G.S.T The economy of the province at that time was about $650 billion or slightly bigger.Almost as big as Finland.Denmark,Norway and Sweden combined. So a 8% tax would bring in about $50 billion new tax dollars for the government.In addition, Mcguinty ran deficits,at first small ones and then as big as $21 billion.There were government programs for everything.Mcguinty even had a program to pay people to harass others that he disagreed with but did not break any laws.This was his government harassment program and it was popular.
Our new premier continues in his tradition.She has money for traffic lights in the middle of highways and money to start new subdivisions in towns like Wasaga Beach and Collingwood.The government will put in new roads and new sewers and new water lines if you will build and then they have money to help you to build.But they have no money for new jobs.Both of those towns ,for example ,have few new jobs.Midland for example could use a new wing on their hospital for special care like Newmarket has.The government should be lowering education costs so young people have all the skills needed to get new jobs.But mostly our premier needs to reduce the P.S.T so people can afford to live in this province.All of these things will help to create new jobs.
