Six months since the last fiscal update. Three months since the government stopped sending the bi-weekly financials to the Parliamentary Budget Office. The feds finally give their deficit forecast.
As the Parliamentary Budget Officer explains – they are no takers. And that’s suggest a much bigger problem.
Can we really afford the massive debt our governments are running up? what are the consequences? In a rare interview, The Parliamentary Budget Officer, Yves Giroux gives us some no BS, no political spin answers. Plus a head scratching goofy.
With the absurd assumption that all are equally effective – and the cost doesn’t matter.
