For amusement, I just took a quick look at the federal spending pie charts of Canada + the US. A few interesting things. (as of 5 years ago) Canada spends almost as much on debt reduction as on the military. The US (I think numbers there were 2008) spends a surprisingly large amount on health care! You won't see that on the Canada chart, as health care is provincially implemented + the money shows up as part of a transfer (in itself a messy issue). One big positive for the US is the slice of the pie (in 2008 anyway) that is the interest payment is much smaller than the interest payment slice for Canada... That is the big reason we are more fiscally responsible these days: 2 decades ago the debt (from a series of fiscally irresponsible governments) was crippling + we had to do something about it. Stuff got done + the hole is being dug out of... So your commentary has merits, that's for sure, but I think things have improved over the past 2 decades up here.
These are interesting times to watch from an economic standpoint.
