We have a huge debt, and until we stop adding to debt, we haven't turned the corner, and we haven't seen the light at the end of the tunnel,

We have a staggering debt level, and government must ensure our expenditure levels are kept within our means,

So, we have a significant problem that other provinces in the country are not facing.

This one-time money allows us to (balance the budget) this year, but we still have a lot of work to do,

It's no secret that oil prices have hit record levels these past months, ... In fact, they have reached levels which few . . . analysts projected just six months ago.

The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should betempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands shouldbe curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. 55 B.C.
