OMNIBUS BUDGET BILLS
The Harper Government tacked onto budgets unrelated acts
to ensure passage - Trudeau II' is seeking to do the same
Hopefully the growingly independent Senate will stop this.
For goodness sakes Joe, I get tired of the growing numbers who seem to think nothing happened prior to year 2000.The Harper Government tacked onto budgets unrelated acts
to ensure passage - Trudeau II' is seeking to do the same
Hopefully the growingly independent Senate will stop this.
Pierre Elliot Trudeau introduced the first Omnibus Bill in 1967 in which he completely overhauled the Criminal Code to �modernize� it.
Trudeau Sr. and most Prime Ministers since have produced omnibus bills including budget bills in the name of �efficiency�. Bills use to take weeks of debate in a clause by clause study; budget bills used to take months. We are more efficient now and increasingly deeper in debt. No one is watching the purse strings. Opposition laments about uncontrolled spending are dismissed as �sour grapes�.
Now the move is afoot to limit opposition powers with the same efficiency objective. We want prudent and responsible governance, not efficient rule by autocrats which is what we increasingly suffer.

- http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/everyone-gets-a-bathtub-full-of-beer-what-the-liberals-massive-52-5b-deficits-could-buy
- Nations such as Canada, the U.S, and Japan have had large and increasing public debts for decades, and yet their economies have been generally prosperous.
- Significant public expenditures enable a country to nurture a healthy and educated workforce, to develop updated transport and communication infrastructure necessary for modern business, and to stimulate the economy when the private sector is subdued.
- A sovereign government can certainly spend too much money causing inflation, or spend too little tolerating mass unemployment. Since Canada currently has 1.3 million individuals actively seeking work, the government must step up with a targeted job creation program. Governments created many jobs during the Great Depression, but these can be created anytime with political will, and the economy is stronger when everyone is earning their keep and contributing to society.

- 1. Debt Is Good - Paul Krugman
- http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/21/opinion/paul-krugman-debt-is-good-for-the-economy.html?_r=4
- "Believe it or not, many economists argue that the economy needs a sufficient amount of public debt out there to function well. And how much is sufficient? Maybe more than we currently have. That is, there�s a reasonable argument to be made that part of what ails the world economy right now is that governments aren�t deep enough in debt."

- From a 1933 radio debate Keynes:
- "I do not believe that measures which truly enrich the country will injure the public credit�It is the burden of unemployment and the decline in the national income which are upsetting the Budget. Look after the unemployment, and the Budget will look after itself."

- 3. What is Modern Monetary Theory, or �MMT�?
- http://neweconomicperspectives.org/2013/03/what-is-modern-monetary-theory-or-mmt.html
- "The essential insight of Modern Monetary Theory (or �MMT�) is that sovereign, currency-issuing countries are only constrained by real limits. They are not constrained, and cannot be constrained, by purely financial limits because, as issuers of their respective fiat-currencies, they can never �run out of money.� This doesn�t mean that governments can spend without limit, or overspend without causing inflation, or that government should spend any sum unwisely. What it emphatically does mean is that no such sovereign government can be forced to tolerate mass unemployment because of the state of its finances � no matter what that state happens to be.
- Virtually all economic commentary and punditry today, whether in America, Europe or most other places, is based on ideas about the monetary system which are not merely confused � they are starkly and comprehensively counter-factual."
