I'll stand by my own assessment that SH (Stephen Harper) is an astute politician who understands that Canadians are as cantankerous as they are privileged, and that folks must force him to stop spending by electing more conservatives, rather than wailing about how he's not acting conservative enough as overlord of a fat cat nation.Wow. There isn't a lot that I have to say in response other than that if a Conservative prime minister needs to be forced to stop spending money that he doesn't have, then he isn't particularly conservative. And, amazingly enough, electing a lot of Conservatives was supposed to be the cure to stop the Liberals from pissing away a ton of money, even though they, y'know, balanced the books and everything. At what point is electing Conservatives going to stop costing so much fucking money?
On the other hand, it is an interesting theory, and one that should be applied to other parts of our society. If you argue that electing Conservatives that are promising to spend all the money is going to curtail spending, why not cut down on crime by throwing an endless line of hot, teenage virgins at rapists? The rapists will eventually get sleepy and that'll drive sexual assault rates way down, won't it?
And everyone will feel better, except for maybe the hot, teenage virgins, who might need some counselling. Luckily, the Conservatives have a plan to borrow a whole bunch of money to pay for that.
