Liberals are now acknowledging that all governments will be facing severe budgetary limits in the near future; they must tailor their new policy options accordingly. These suggestions, which involve only redistributed government expenditures or none at all, are intended to be ideas with real possibilities for implementation in the foreseeable future, not blueprints for a more enlightened day. Of course, only in the enlightened day down the road, when...
