Canada

I agree, but unfortunately that's basically never going to happen. At least not in our lifetimes.

One of Canada's greatest flaws is that we followed the US into car-dependent, suburban-sprawl at the catastrophic expense of everything else. We have spent decade upon decade investing unfathomable amounts of money into building the most dysfunctional cities imaginable and ensuring there is no practical way of getting in or out of them except a car.

I’m going to sound like a moron asking this, but if the country makes over 2 trillion per year, and we are only spending 4 some-odd billion per year, shouldn’t we be able to get out of debt while staying afloat over time?

They're absolutely saying it will hurt services.

What’s this guy’s deal, man. I thought he was supposed to be an economist?

Do Economists never cut spending?

Dont worry, he wont be cutting the Bank of Canada's funding, nor the billions in mortgage bonds the Bank of Canada is buying to inflate home values for his stock portfolio. It will be the less important things like health transfers and child benefits.

Language evolves constantly. If people use a word and can understand its meaning and context then it’s a perfectly cromulent option.

@Mongostein @slykethephoxenix earliest recorded use is from the 15th century, but it's likely from the 12th.
