Harper's Economic Stimulus Package will be Mulroney's Goods and Service Tax

Stephen Harper's Economic Stimulus Package will indeed become just like Brian Mulroney's Goods and Service Tax, as both of these Tory torments will go down in history as being unpopular, quite useless and becoming yet again long term policies for short term policies for both of these Canadian Prime Ministers. Unfortunately for us, once the failed Tory Prime Minister is replaced by the hopeful Liberal Opposition Leader, usually that unpopular measure stays in place, no matter how much they campaign and promise to do the opposite, no different will it be for Michael Ignatieff. Remember Income Tax, during the horrible crisis of the First Great War in 1917, as Great Britain and the United States began putting these brand new schemes into effect governmentally, Canada's move reservedly called it one to be implemented temporarily until the end of that war. Just the same, this economic stimulus like the goods and services tax will be campaigned against, only to be continued in some other government cheese factory in the name of some other reason it must be kept, as even with good times, the vicious cycle of bad times is not far behind they will say. We keep adding more deficit and debt unto the small and weak backs of the children of this nation, continent and world, all without thinking of where all this will lead to for them and their young and perhaps yet to be futures, I would hope we could begin thinking about them before we just worried about ourselves just this once.
