If your whole campaign and poltical philosophy is based on distinguishing yourself from the liberals, by specifically doing more than the Liberals to cut government spending/'the gravy train', then to prove that it is not just hollow rhetoric aimed at getting you into power, you had better make damn sure that your all-important budgets are better costed than your rivals. The issue is not about surviving 4 years of Rob Ford, it is about him being held accountable for the seemingly oxymoronic promise to stop the gravy train/government spending, whilst still undertaking huge capital projects. I, for one, hope he pull off this Holy Grail of accounting, finance and economics; otherwise, he is destined to look like so many of the Conservatives' 'fiscally responsible' poster boys, like Reagan and Bush.

that's precisely it. otherwise, he just BS'd everything just so he could get into the mayor's seat.

i still haven't recieved an answer by jay or anyone else over some of his numbers back in the other ford thread. i think it's been a month or so. i figured by this time, they'd at least make some sort of attempt to explain to us all how ford came up with those numbers.
