U.S.A........U.S.A.........U.S.A..........U.S.A.!! ! im sure bush wouldnt object, hes a trigger finger (i like it)

 

well they're going to have to do it one day. i dont see wy all these companies can have there water fountains going and all the condos around here still use their sprinkklers. there is more people here then there was ten yrs ago but no more water how does that work. go olympics there was a good expendature. or the new RAV line i think it is about time that the GOV starts spending money on **** we need. instead of telling us what we want.

 

It is called "the economic problem". Unlimitd wants and limited resources.

Government is no different then you or I. We have lots of things we want to buy and do, but we make decisions based on what we think we most need /want at the time. We also make decisions based on short term sacrifice for long term benefit. (ie we buy a home by putting out a down payment and possibly higher mortgage payments, then if we were to rent it). That being said, is it approprite to put EVERYTHING you have into what you percieve to be what your only want / need?
No.
Even though you may want to have an f-body to beat all others, you recognise that there are competing needs you have. (clothes, accomodation, food). In addition, although you could spend ALL your discretionary money on your car, you probably do not, having a beer, going to a club, taking a holiday, having a computer, a cell phone, cable TV.

Is it an appropriate use of resources to build the infrastructure of a reseviour just because we cannot water our lawn or wash our cars for 4 - 6 weeks every 30 - 50 years? Ummmm No. Certainly, it remains likely that the population will grow to a point where this expense becomes necessary, but this is an extreme summer and investing billions at this time would be a waste as that reseviour sits idle for 19.5 of the next 20 years.

The same logic holds for hosting the Olympics. Yes there are competing needs, just like you have, and though YOU have priorities as well, you do not put EVERYTHING you have into a very small number of priorities (although I know that some of you do) you spread it around.

Govt is the same. There are an infinite number of ways to spend money and the issue is how to develop a balanced approach to expenditures that seeks (although often times inefficiently) to benefit the most people over the short and long term. Fundamentally, the differnace between right and left wing is, what are those priorites and how much emphasis to put on them? in addition, which of these priorites should remain the domain of the free market.

Of course hindsight proves when decisions are wrong headed. We have all made decisions that history proved were wrong in spite of our best research. That is not to suggest that sometimes govt policies are based on a mob type self delusion - ie fast ferries. but other decisions are made with the best of efforts and intentions.

In summary, Craig and Shaun for joint Premier at the next election.

 

if someone in your family needed healthcare would you buy something for your car instead?

 

YUP

 

It's strange - if society were willing to pay more taxes, we could have an amazing healthcare system with no waitlists.

But society in general seems to value personal possessions and wealth creation over funding for healthcare, education, and all the other government services that we love to complain about.

So in effect, the answer is YES, most people WOULD rather buy things for the cars, houses, whatever rather then paying for healthcare.

Obviously this attitude would change if a family member fell ill - unfortunately we take healthcare and its funding for granted the rest of the time when the assistance isn't needed.

 

foam brush? I bet thats good for the paint

 

no no no, he means theres a foam brush so you can clean your undercarige

 

i dont think it has anything to do with needing to pay more taxes it has to do with the crap ourt taxes are spent on. and what i was refering to by my other comment was a comparison to the government choosing the olympics over everything else. they feel everything needs to be cut but we can spend spend spend on all this crap like the olympics and the RAV line

 

U gotta spend money to make money. By creating awareness of our city/province/country through the olympics, you bring in revenue and help boost the economy. This puts money in peoples pockets that in turn gives them a chance at a better standard of living. It allows people to pay for things when they desperatly need it. Our healthcare, etc is in a bind because people take advantage of it. It's free, so why not?

As for the Rav line, I am not completely sure that it is needed, I need to look into it more, although I think it is a great idea. It is also a make work project that puts money in peoples pockets. As stupid as it sounds, the governement gets more money back than if they didn't creat something like this (IMHO). Why because even though they are paying for it, they get back some of the revenue through income taxes etc that wouldn't be there if this extra work wasn't there. By cutting down on spending on certain things, it makes people realize what an easy life they've had. Maybe the people in our province will learn to save more instead of spending carelessly and complaing all the time.
Life's a b!tch, but hey, you could be the living in a refugee camp in liberia, starving and dying of some awful diseases while people around you fight over diamonds.

 

BTW i called the city of langley and you are ALLOWED to wash ur car it is just highly discounraged

 

Canada should just print alot of money and deposit it into banks all over the country.

We can be sneaky.
