1) Canada’s government debt is not shrinking. In truth, Canada’s [Conservative party run] Federal debt is actually increasing even vs GDP, still recovering from the recession hit (well maybe recovering somewhat from the Conservative party now gaining more control via a majority government, we shall see). It is overall the overall government debts that are dropping vs GDP.All that and you didn't even touch on the primary reasons Canada's debt is shrinking and they're able to fund their social welfare systems.
Small relative population and they sell A LOT of oil.
2) Canada turned the corner on Debt vs GDP when crude was below $30/barrel. Sure oil and gas exports are an important part of the economy but the US has an economy, too, right? It isn’t exactly a rinky-dink mudhole of Elbonia.
3) Canada has chosen this, the US likewise does have the choice. The same choice was even made to do so, up until roughly the turn of the century. Then the paths diverged. It will take some time to turn it around, even after the actual choices are made. One small step was made in the early morning of Jan 1, lots and lots of more little steps are ahead of us.
:roll:Class hierarchy is just another liberal construct used to divert and divide.
A “liberal construct” in the sense of ‘riting and reading folk using language to denote actual divisions that have already been made.
Which class system would that be?The current "hierarchy" is far better than to two class system Obama and the progressives support.
