The goal should be to make it a zero balance equation. Then we should focus on developing businesses that can stay and grow in the province. Removing burdens that give us nothing (debt) is the only way we are going to have affordable health care, top notch education and solid economic growth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529426706716739226.post-70244578196420807642008-07-15T09:57:00.000-04:002008-07-15T09:57:00.000-04:00It could be risky strategy anonymous, but at least...It could be risky strategy anonymous, but at least we know that Bill Casey and Danny Williams will have less of a negative impact on the next general election since both Nova Scotia and NL's economies are headed in the right direction due to offshore oil revenues.
