Comments anyone on the veracity of the ad?

Subject: Re: Daily Digest, September 7, 2015
From: Larry Kazdan

The major flaw in Harper's economic thinking is the lack of understanding of counter-cyclical fiscal policy. Currently we have a large trade deficit, and private corporations are hoarding money rather than investing in a stagnant economy. Consumers are too heavily indebted. So right now we need government deficit spending to increase aggregate demand and support private business.  The economy is tanking because Harper is doing the opposite - withdrawing money from the economy by trying to balance the budget.

Subject: Harper �isn�t perfect� new Conservative ad admits, but he is dependable on the economy  DD

Joe--sorry but I couldn't watch the ad.  We know that no matter what any of them promise we will pay for it.  And we have no way to hold any of our 'leaders' accountable for their 'promises' once they are elected.
Canada is quickly going the way of the US.  Our governments do nothing for the people but are only interested in their position on the world stage.  Not a day goes by that I don't get a phone call or email from some organisation that purports to be aiding ill Canadians.  I thought we were supposed to have a health care system??  People can't afford the treatments they need but our government can send hundreds of millions of dollars to Ukraine, spend millions bombing Libya and Syria and creating hundreds of thousands of refugees.  If they can do that to innocent people around the world what makes us believe they have any concern for Canadians?  Our governments of every stripe are a farce and our job in our democracy is to shut up, obey and pay.
