Quebec Election And Charest's Budget

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/20...budget0524.html What really p**ses me off is that when governments go into debt, the people never really see that money. But when it comes time to pay down this debt, it is the people (governments insist) who must bear the brunt, as in when Paul Martin did his thing in the '90s. So I applaud Charest's tax cuts, even if it only amounts to pennies for the average Quebecer. And the right-wing ADQ can stick their objections where the sun don't shine. If they want to pay down provincial debt, then go after the ones who had their hands in the pork barrel in the first place. Besides, if the opposition votes against this budget, it may well backfire, and put Charest's Liberals into a majority again (whether or not he deserves this is moot). But voting AGAINST an income tax reduction for the ordinary citizen is, at the best of times, risky. [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on May 28, 2007]
