This is the problem: any surplus or balancing of the budget is weaponized.
The party being fiscally responsible is demonized: “why are you taxing us for benefits we don’t see now?”.
Cue to the opposition being elected and pilfering the coffers for easy political points from the electorate, then they will remember the opposition’s term as the party of “good times”.
I wish the electorate wasn’t this dumb, but in Ontario atleast, we re-elected in Doug Ford so…
This needs to be managed by an independent government entity, like a central bank. They say that it is, so that’s cool.
