Think of the children!
May 20 - No, really, that's what the Ontario premier said in defence of the latest budget: It's for the sake of the kids.

"I know we are placing a burden on our families," McGuinty said yesterday. "I'm asking our families to think not only of themselves, but also of their children and the kind of health care system that we long to leave to the next generation." (Emphasis added)I really wonder at our premier's lack of imagination and good sense to invoke an over-worked phrase which would inevitably provoke so much derision in order to justify tax hikes.
Sheesh, is it too much to ask that they pretend to make an effort? Like maybe try to dress old garbage in a new package? Isn't that what we pay them for?
Damian Penny recently wrote me that Helen Lovejoy is responsible for that phrase:
"Oh, won't somebody please think of the children!!!"
So there you have it folks; the Ontario budget is an upcoming Simpson's episode.

oh yeah, they're thinking of the children... they really want to leave them an impoverished, dessicated society crammed with the misery and small lives that only a socialist could bring you...

You got it, Joe.
We wouldn't want our children to be deprived of both parents needing to work just to put food on the table, now would we?
Let us keep more money in our pockets and we'll take care of our children and see to their futures just fine.
