Day Ten: $70 Billion (Sept 18, 2008)


Policy announcement #10: $70,000,000,000

Running Total: $78,658,500,000

Cost to each taxpayer $2,385.33 ($7.6585 Billion between 32.976M of us):

How much you must earn for your share of new taxes to cover the Liberal platform to be 10% of what you make: $23,853.30

Can I afford $2,385.33? This is some kind of sick joke, right? That's a down-payment on a car, a semester of school, an engagement ring.

Things you can buy with $2,385.33:

1955 medium coffees from Tim Hortons ($1.22);
That's FIVE coffees a day, every day, for a year.


2 Section 327, Row A Habs vs. Sens Tickets ($2,186.15) - Go Habs!;


1 52" Sony Bravia LCD HDTV ($2,299.99);
