New Democrats most fiscally responsible: Federal government report

The media always seems to carry comments from other parties and citizens about the NDP being fiscally-irresponsible. It'd be nice if they gave more credence to data instead of anecdotes.

The report shows that NDP governments have balanced the books 46 per cent of the time. Manitoba’s NDP government has posed surpluses every year it has been in office and Saskatchewan’s NDP government posted 11 consecutive balanced budgets after ending a decade of Conservative mismanagement and corruption.

Despite Paul Martin’s frequent pronouncements on fiscal responsibility, Liberals have the worst fiscal record overall. Liberal federal, provincial and territorial governments have posted year-over-year budget deficits an astonishing 79 per cent of the time.

They don't have to take the NDP's word for it - look at the Report themselves and crunch the data.
