You make it sound like that Buchanan was the only Federal or Provincial leader who ran up a debt in the '80's. Debts are driven by voter demands and the willingness of politicians to be re-elected on their appearance of being "good guys". I would blame the voter for lack of knowledge prior to voting, not this one person who was able to pull the wool over their eyes. The only real solution to the BST/GST is fiscal responsibility like that offered by the Reform Party in their "Fresh Start" approach which promises wholesale reduction in all taxes, and elimination of the GST once the budget is balanced by 31 March 1999. This concept is new to most politicians, it's called "Future" planning. Take a look at it on http://www.reform.ca Buzz
