Nickel and Dime

Governments continue to make the same mistakes each year. When you have a deficit, they think you should attack the fixed costs at the top of the pyramid. How has this been going for you? I look worldwide and see very little improvement when you take this old philosophy. Public sector costs are pretty fixed and unless you want to decrease services and affect detrimental services, you have to come up with another plan. Think about your own household. You have rent, or mortgage, car payments, food, insurance, gas and clothing. There are probably others depending on the family, but you can see where I'm going. These are costs which don't change from year to year. It is the same for cities and provinces - where you conserve is the smaller nickel and dimes. Eliminate the gravy, the icing, this will get you to where you want in the long run. Think of it as bringing a lunch to work, rather than buying a $5 to $10 meal. Eliminate the Tim Horton's and bring your own coffee. Have a drink at home rather than the bar. Make supper rather than going out for your meal 3 to 4 times a week. You will be amazed at how much you will save each year. It is the same for any city and province. Get rid of the fluff and leave our services alone. Nickel and dime your costs down and watch the deficit diminish drastically. I am a business major and have reduced my expenses this way all my life. It works!!! End of story.
I mean I'm really...
