Mike Brock does some addition

Mike Brock adds up the sudden burst of spending the Liberals have racked up in the last few weeks:

In a country which according to Paul Martin, can only afford very modest tax cuts, the Federal Liberals seem to have had absolutely no problem in increasing spending to the degree of over $1,100 per taxpayer in the last three weeks.

Just think about that. Weeks ago, the Liberals had absolutely no room for tax cuts, but they now have room for over $1,100 per taxpayer more in program spending. And the spending announcements don't seem to be coming to an end anytime soon. If this isn't out-of-control pandering by a desperate government, than I don't know what is.

Clearly, circumstances alter cases. This is money that PM "Jell-o" Dithers had to spend to save Canada. If those evil Tories had their way, this money would all have been wasted.
