the federal government announced a surplus of 9.1 billion dollars that will go toward debt reduction (the debt sits at about 500 billion dollars)
meanwhile, ontario hospitals face a shortfall of 600 million dollars this year
600,000,000/9,100,000,000 = 6.60%
i can imagine how many social programs around the country could use just a little bit of those 9.1 billion dollars
i want my tax dollars to bail out my hospitals and my tuition fees rather than marginally affect the amount of years it takes to pay off the debt so that rich people can get richer
