Overspending and over-taxing

Information has now become available about the horrendous mismanagement of Kathleen Wynne’s government in regards to Ontario’s finances.

PC Treasury Board President Peter Bethlenfalvy revealed shocking figures after his department went through the province’s accounting books with a tooth comb.

The $345 billion debt the Liberals accumulated over the last 15 years resulted in a downgrading of Ontario’s credit rating. To pay off this debt the Ford government is forced to pay $1.4 million every hour, says Finance Minister Vic Fedeli.

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath was part of the problem. She could have stopped the Wynne government, but that wasn’t in Andrea’s interest.

Talk is cheap as we so often hear, but actions matter.

The same we see with Justin Trudeau on a much larger scale. Expected this year is a deficit of $19 billion after he campaigned to cap deficits at $10 billion and balance the books by 2019. The payback time will be decades.

To deal with these incredible debt levels, taxes and service fees will increase, making the cost of living much more expensive, especially for the most vulnerable in our society.

If voters would have cared and done their homework before both elections, provincial and federal, they would have known that socialist policies would hit them hard in their pocket books by largely increasing the cost of living.

Socialists overspend and over-tax people into poverty.
