text: The BC NDP took power in 1991, BC`s debt stood at $16 billion dollars and when they were voted out in 2001 they did indeed double the debt to $31 billion dollars, however, the BC Liberal party, who have no relationship with the Federal Liberal party are not Liberals, they were a re-branding of the discredited Social Credit party.  Economic growth was higher under the NDP of the 90`s than it is under the BC Liberals...Only because interest rates for Governments have fallen to historic lows, that`s the only reason B.C. isn`t bankrupt
