Gee if only we had some leverage with GM Canada, like I don't know maybe some shares . Oh right, Heir Harper sold the GM shares at a loss so that he could claim he balanced the budget, Because selling an asset which still has monies owing against it at a loss is what all households do to balance

Excellent point!
This whole thread also reminds me of Republicans in 1993 who universally opposed the Clinton tax increases and said they would wreck the economy. Then they pretended that the "balanced budget" that they supposedly cared about was because of their spending discipline.

a genius move. people forget that starbucks prices aren't even 'budget' anymore: they’re premium prices for commodity-grade over-roasting. When you realize a local specialty shop gives you a balanced, single-origin shot for the same price (or less), you can never go back.

s it balanced? Yes, the budget is currently projected to be balanced for 2026, thanks to a mix of state aid, rising ridership, and "one-time" funds like casino licensing fees.
Where the money goes: * Labor: About 62% ($12.9 billion) goes to paying the 75,000+ employees.

If the US was free, peaceful, had a booming economy, had a balanced budget, had sound money, had safe streets, had no minimum wage, and taxes imposed by all levels of government took less than 10% of our income in the past, are Americans happier now that the USA is a police state, at war, has a […]

For a man who has probably never pumped gas or grocery shopped for his family or spent time on a family farm or balanced a household budget, he is less than an expert or even knowledgeable about such things. Maybe he can stick to promoting Melania’s movie.

This is why, even "without the votes" Democrats need to push relentlessly for accountability
When Dems are in charge the Gang Of Pedophiles make up endless lies about "Fiscal responsibility" and "balanced budget" to argue nonsense rhetoric they don't believe
Dems can push to release files & eject!

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

I honestly don't understand the hostility the Greens get hit with. They're the only people-first party that hasn't been captured by capital. And they produce an alternative, balanced budget every year. And yet, fucking crickets from the media.

The top marginal tax rate in the 50s was 91%. We built the interstate highway system, helped veterans buy homes and go to college and more all with a balanced budget. We were in this together, the wealthy and everyone else doing our part for a better America. When did we start tolerating greed?

39th Ward Alderwoman Samantha Nugent is proud of her work on a Chicago budget which the Civic Federation finds places the burden "entirely on taxpayers"
![[39th Ward Alderwoman Samantha] Nugent said that breakaway alderpersons were “up against a clock” and were operating at a distinct disadvantage.
“This was aldermen-led and driven, who don’t have the staff or the policy expertise of the Civic Federation, nor the entire fourth and fifth and sixth floor of City Hall,” she said. “I can only speak to the work that I did and my colleagues did. I’m proud of it. It is a balanced budget that was thoughtful and collaborative. And now, our job is to effectuate it.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cniqkzr5npav7xspfh5ebp5u/bafkreidz7zbrmhwhsnfmny5vcuidemxjjb2nhvuat6pnlfhhuk22ll5ai4@jpeg)
