Yes, I don't understand why NDP and Liberal governments always have to behave so irresponsibly all the time when it comes to government finances.  They always tend to give away taxpayers money and run deficits when they are not necessary.  At some point I think that we are going to need some sort of constitutional or legal mechanisms to prevent this type of thing or force spending to be balanced by taxation.  Tax payers simply can't count on politicians to behave responsibly.
