On Magic Thinking

So, we have had the Liberals and Conservatives both swear off tax increases to pay down the deficit. So, you say, "Well I guess that means, spending cuts all around then". Hold on, not so fast. The Liberals say they have a way to balance the books without raising taxes or cutting spending, but they aren't going to tell us how. Hint: it's kinda like "The Secret".

The Conservatives on the other hand, say that they can balance the books by not raising taxes and not cutting spending. Apparently, this can be done, just by the force of Stephen Harper's will.

I have a couple of thoughts about these positions. First, the two big parties are treating our nation's finances like a giant ponzi scheme. Second, with giant brains like this running the country, the socialist option doesn't look so bad, does it?
