Of course, spending cuts are preferable to tax incrases as a way of containing the epic debt the Harper Tories have foisted on generations of Canadians.
But its not like we'll get an honest discussion about that from the Harper Keynesians.
What we will get from Harper, should he ever get his majority, is more inflation and more EI premium increases. Two of the most insidious taxes there are.
There are plenty of reasons not to vote for Ignatieff -- but his willingness to talk about actual tax increases to fund the Harper inflation is not one of them.
