Here’s a very sincere, non-rhetorical question: when would our federal Liberals think that it was a bad time to be ramping up government spending? But then I realized, hey, wait a minute — according to these guys, isn’t a good economy also an opportunity to spend? It’s not when times are bad, clearly, and it doesn’t seem to be when times are good, either. Our fiscal capacity to borrow is something to be protected during good times so that it’s there in the bad. We’re doing ourselves no favours if we spend as happily in good times, because we can, as we do in bad times, because we must.
