With the Government bailing out the Montreal Grand Prix, Honda, Ford and the Bombardier family just to name a few that have occurred this year, what is it about Sears that Government doesn’t want to bail it out with your tax dollars? Why not this particular private business?

The real message from the BC Governments upcoming surplus is “Bigger Government All the Time.” No thought of returning the excess to those who earned it, not even close. In spite of revenues exceeding expenditures, both the Greens and BC NDP is already on record to raise more taxes. The socialization of Big Government is so successful the only thing that separates the parties is how fast they’re going to grow the Government.

Students who have no awareness of the 1.3 Trillion in government debt they will be spending their lives paying off, or have no idea what an unfunded pension liability is that they will be on the hook for might be forgiven for advocating big government. Since the school system doesn’t make them aware, it will be no surprise when they get very angry when they find out they are grossly in debt before they have even begun their working lives!

After 5 years of socialist rule in France, the socialist party dropped from 280 seats to just 29. As the new majority leader Macron said, France had become Cuba without the sun. Now the chairman of the French Socialist party declares the left must change everything about itself, including its form, substance, ideas, and organization. That’s France, and its not going much better for socialist countries elsewhere either.
