Jackpot Jimmy Counts Our Cash

Pointy-faced evil little leprichaun-man Jim Flaherty, who is Canada's Finance Minister, is taking credit for the current $6.7-billion budget surplus (read about it HERE). What is absolutely remarkable is the fact that only 5 months into this fiscal year he is already celebrating the success of his shrewd hands-sitting-on strategy. Nevermind the fact that A) the higher than expected surplus is being racked up on the backs on income tax windfalls due to a successful private sector driven economy; and B) his party's promise during the last election that the dog days of Liberal hording of surplusses would come to an end was merely an ass-sucking lie to the electorate.

Once again, this mean-spirited, former-Harris midget hack is taking credit for global economic forces over which he has absolutely no control and trying to convert it into political capital. And once again, he is sitting back while real Canadians do all the hard work and taking credit for their achievements.

I don't know why I am surprised, since this is so typical of Harris-era opportunistic political leeches like Flaherty. Oh well, I guess we can count the blessing that we are not currently running a deficit or going through a recession: We all know what happens to the sick, poor and lame under the control of pin-dicked little weasel Napoleans like him. It's weird science, but at least it's the rich who are paying for his masturbatory market fantasies right now.
