“I don’t know what to write about this week,” I lamented to my wife.
“The provincial government just presented its budget,” Joan suggested.
“I don’t know anything about budgets,” I replied.
And then I wondered why that should disqualify me from commenting. After all, the emperor-with-no-clothes in Washington clearly knows about nothing beyond his own corporate tunnel-vision. That hasn’t stopped him.
Our budgeting process is simple. If we spend less than we take in, we save the surplus for times when we take in less than we spend.
Those principles might seem reasonable for government budgeting, too. The B.C. Government, from what I can see, operates on a different philosophy.
