Right. Waste. So... $12,000, that's what, 3 or 4 cents per taxpayer? Gravy train and waste are your favourite talking points, but how does all this waste balance the budget? Beyond that, it seems like a lot of waste will be in Ford's plan too. Removing streetcars and streetcar tracks will cost a fortune, not to mention the 3 buses (and 3 drivers) that would be needed to replace them. That's a ton of waste in my eyes. Could you give me an example of a mayor that has been able to balance the budget solely based on waste and not service reduction and/or tax increases? Because, you know, Larry O'Brien ran on the exact same populist pie-in-the-sky economic message and failed miserably and chances are so will Ford because the formula doesn't exist unless you adhere to some mystical school of finances. You can admit to service decreases and I won't jump all over you. I mean, I don't agree with it whatsoever, but at least it's being honest. Waste alone is not going to balance the budget, not without, for instance, scaling back off-peak bus service and possible cancellations of certain routes, eliminating most cultural festivals, eliminating any attention to public spaces - you know, the things that make this city worth living in.
