‘Hell-bent’ on ‘handouts’
Dear Editor:
RE: No free lunch, April 4.
On the nightly news I watch as the federal Liberal government desperately tries to shore up their dwindling popularity promising, with reckless abandon, all sorts of feel good programs.
Free dental, free lunches, Pharmacare, cheap child care and loans to building contractors (remember people struggling to pay back COVID-19 loans?).
Why is this government so hell-bent on making Canadians dependent on their benevolent handouts? I am not an accountant or a financial whiz, I just know you can’t keep spending without repercussions.
The interest alone generated on this pathetic attempt to woo Canadians into thinking the government has unlimited funds will never be paid off. Nothing is free and the sooner we as Canadians realize that the better.
In 2014, Trudeau said “the budget will balance itself” and he would have a few “modest deficits.”
I wonder what happened there.
Just saying.
