Without having seen it, former Bank of Canada governor David Dodge believes that Tuesday's 2024 federal budget from Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland is 'likely to be the worst budget' in decades.

“I think there is a very real possibility that they’ll do exactly the wrong thing and tax the very folks and the very corporations that are going to make the investments that will actually raise income over time.”

This quote sums up this dumb shit’s opinions rather nicely.

“Ignore that Trickle Down Economics has never worked since it was invented. We just didn’t trickle down hard enough. Let’s eliminate all taxes on the wealthy. We’re the ones who make all the jobs! It will be great! Trust me!”

100yrs is simply not enough time for the trickle to begin. A few more generations are needed.

“Without having seen it”

Why is this even an article? It’s just this Muppets thoughts and feelings without seeing the document.

“How dare they tax the rich slightly more to accommodate the budget”
