Alberta’s $6.4B deficit... All according to Liberal Big Gov.

Liberals like to raise taxes, and spend, and then complain that they need more taxes, and so they can spend even more, when before them a Canadian more conservative leader created a same level SURPLUS in government Revenue by cutting taxes, etc.

In the U.S. Ronald Reagan did the exact same thing, yet liberals lie trying to claim it was Clinton simply because most of the Surplus came to fruition during his term, by the way when Republicans had Congress mostly during his entire term.

Further, you are mistaken to think that there is not mutual consent even in child molestation or pedophilia, especially concerning those in the teen years. Most teens are already sexually active by the time they are 13-14, thus choices are already being made, an adult getting in the mix wouldn't technically make a difference if there is the same free, no-forced choices occurring. Of course, SOCIETY places a standard of wrong in that, but that's not the same as what people actually do and think. To give an example, when I was in the Marine Corps, during my apostasy period, I had sex with what I presumed to be a 15 year old prostitute. Of course, she claimed to be 18, but I could tell otherwise. Was that wrong, certainly, and certainly by my own standards today, but it was certainly consensual and non-power based or forced. Of course, her pimp was clearly exerting power, cause we took longer then we apparently were supposed to, thus he wanted to make sure he was getting money, but anyway, all a sad thing.

Ronald Reagan tripled the national deficit while raising taxes 11 times.

Oil revenue. End of story.

faqs, have you had a chance to find that law that forced banks to give loans to folks who could not afford them? Still waiting. Don't let your silence prove that you don't know what you're talking about.

And keep your distance from those underage, small-framed people.

Bingo.

Not so easy without oil tax revenues helping to fill the coffers. Kansas has struggled in the wake of attempted tax cuts.

Kansas did cut taxes for the rich and increased them for the poor.
