To the editor:
In my May 29 letter to the 100 Mile House Free Press, I wrote the B.C. Liberals have grown the provincial debt to more than $50 billion in 2012, from $33.8 billion in 2001.
The debt is expected to approach $70 billion by 2015-16.
A major part of the B.C. Liberal government’s recent election campaign was “Debt-Free BC.”
Sure thing, get rid of the debt by making it a lot bigger.
They are hoping profits from LNG exports will dump piles of money on us, so we can pay off our debts.
Yes, and I’m hoping to win the lottery.
