You say that their job is to maximize the well being of the province. Saving for the future does exactly that. What dont you understand? Stop pissing away the little extra we have on LGBT bullshit and SAVE for when we dont have any extra. Thats what ADULTS do. Let me guess, you vote for the NDP and Trudeau, and havent worked a real job in decades?
@toaster3822 Having lived through several periods of inflation I have come to the conclusion that inflation is baked into our system so that society continues to work. Every 20 years or so savings are ratcheted down by inflation to keep us motivated to be productive members of society, without this reset too many of us would be happy to opt out of the working majority living off the sweat of our ancestors. Governments generally understand what costs $1 today is only worth a nickel (if the nickel survives) in 20 years, so for a government to have a long term savings account is kind of like flushing the surplus down the toilet.
