Canada is cutting the number of government employees. We have nothing comperable to ATF or EPA. Our border and customs services is just that. "Homeland security" is taken care of by the RCMP. We have no federal Education Department and almost everybody can read and write. Our Agriculture Department does not have a food stamp program and is not engaged in welfare.
The conservative government of Stephen Harper is on track to move the federal government to a budget surplus by 2015. For those from Yorba Linda, a budget surplus is the opposite of a deficit. According to Wiki, the federal debt is around $600 billion. Roughly a third, proportionally of the US federal debt. Canada is forecast to be one of a very few number of countries to retain a AAA credit rating for the next decade.
BTW, your president does not like PM Harper or the economic success story he represents. Harper is an economist by trade (imagine that). Their meetings consist of Harper trying to educate your president on economics. Your president doesn't like that.
The US federal government is far too big and intrusive. You need to cut out whole departments
Absolutely, and Romney could earn the respect and admiration of his most ardent conservative critics and do a those things.
I would NEVER speak ill of him and I can’t stand him.
Anyhow,put all those under the catagory of TRUE REFORM. If Romney is as “severe” conservative as he claimed we will likely know it very early on.
Probably is very few of us believe he is anything more than a go along to get along squishy moderate (nice term for even dumber than a liberal).
