The Liberals are addicted to spending...and especially spending on social re-engineering ventures.  

The first step in any addiction recovery program is to admit one has a problem.  The Liberals don't have the intellectual honesty to make this admission, but their taxation kleptomania is an obvious "tell".  

How they thought it would be good to go after low-paying retail jobs boggles the mind....it smacks of raiding the children's piggy banks to give them their allowance.
