Tax breaks on income might see 25% of the money enter the economy in a few months. Business tax breaks or consumption tax breaks are 100%swallowed up in profits and have no effect whatsoever.<BR/><BR/>Why the cons. are agonizing over this is beyond me. You don't need an economics degree to understand how different forms of stimulus works.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-78630272641880333722009-01-21T13:09:00.000-05:002009-01-21T13:09:00.000-05:00"You just don't want to be reminded of the truth, ..."You just don't want to be reminded of the truth, so the liberals can come in, and fix what they broke"<BR/><BR/>I wasn't even a freaking Liberal, so excuse me if I don't feel the need to apologize.

You just don't want to be reminded of the truth, so the liberals can come in, and fix what they broke, and hope that the public isn't reminded of where the original problem came from. <BR/>If one wants to take credit for fixing something, one also must take ownership for breaking something. That is being accountable. <BR/>So yes, let's move on, but remember it has been both the NDP and the Bloc who, since the EI was revamped by the liberals, who have been at the forefront of fixing EI. I am glad that liberals have come to a deeper understanding of the flaws they created, and are willing to be a part of elected officials who want to fix it.susansmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573558646874765432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-37657376297696250752009-01-21T12:10:00.000-05:002009-01-21T12:10:00.000-05:00What's really pathetic is using ancient history in...What's really pathetic is using ancient history in a discussion on how we move forward, during a recession.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-91770767172104975042009-01-21T11:31:00.000-05:002009-01-21T11:31:00.000-05:00Liberals screwed up the EI system in the first pla...Liberals screwed up the EI system in the first place and stole $54 Billion from the workers and businesses in Canada and short changed the provinces on transfers for health, education and social services to create the illusion of surpluses. <BR/><BR/>Pathetic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
