Infrastructure spending was supposed to stimulate the economy and was the reason Liberals gave for going into debt. Now it turns out that the Liberals aren't spending the money, but are still in debt with an economy that has turned itself around with the rebound in commodity prices. The Liberals can take credit with the child care benefit, which is as the Polotz stated a one time shot to the economy but they had nothing to do with the rebound in the resource sector.
