Exactly!

Perhaps our two trust fund twins Trudeau and More Dough Morneau who have never had to rein in personal costs in their entire lives might wish to take a walk on the wild side by doing us all a favour and tackling the critical challenges of excessive, wasteful growth in the size and of excessive total compensation of the greater public sector monopoly union employees.

The pay, perks and pensions of these folks now devours over 20% of federal, 50% of provincial and 60% of municipal budgets and it is both excessive compared with compensation of market sector employees in comparable jobs and wasteful in terms of unnecessary positions and dismal productivity levels in public vs private organizations.

Respect for taxpayers and their money instead of contempt for taxpayers and extravagance with their money needs to start from the premise of getting governments into fiscal shape before any further raids on the public's wallets.
