More like a dead fish of a budget.

For this they needed to prorogue and 'recalibrate?'

2. Interesting...

Both 'sides' are very unhappy with the budget for diametrically opposite reasons; one because there wasn't massive cuts, the other because it was 'all talk, no action' when it came to investment for the future ie science and technology. They did have one issue in which they were both in complete agreement and that is that the projections for deficit reduction were totally bogus, lol.
