Our elitist gurus blabber, they appear to be divisive on what to do next to cope with our social and economic problems, but they all decidedly agree that in their own self-interest they must pursue the policies of lower governments, tax cuts, balanced budgets, and privatization. B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell will be cutting 11,700 jobs, one third of the civil service, and he will be cutting an average of 25% expenditures in all areas except health and education, for an overall savings of $1.9 billion.

Premier Campbell has absolutely no understanding of the social and economic implications of his directives to slash jobs and services in government. His management by the number can only be labelled 'management by the seat of his pants,' that is we are going to experience another big bubble from another rhetorical asset. Let us think about Premier Campbell's numbers. If we take into consideration only the slashing of 25% of all the areas (except health and education) the health expenditures will rise from the current 47% of total governmental spending to 54%. And this number of 54% will trigger the changing of other numbers, and the number game will materialize with another result: the privatization of health care.

British Columbia is on the road to tyranny and Fascism, and the numbers become more important than people. Let us get together and play the music for this fascist of a man.
