It was a rough budget for all of > us. .It had to be to control our growing national debt, whichis a major obstacle to a better future for all Canadians. The budget measures are tough to match the enormous challenge we face. The basic problem Finance Minister Michael Wilson and the government had to deal with is the federal debt which has been accumulating over the last 20 years, and the enormous interest it costs us. ty In the early 1970's the then federal government began runn- ing large annual deficits by spen- ding more each year than was col- lected in taxes. In succeeding years these annual deficits began Bridge results SCUGOG DUPLICATE BRIDGE April 26 - Afternoon 5 Table Howell - Avg. 54 1st - Doris Phinney & Dorothy Jacobs 66 pts. 2nd - Grace Love & Harold Brown 63. 3rd - Peter Francis & Al Stevens 59%. 4th - Marie Carnegie & Gwen a 0 4 33 of JE = vu Rennie 58.

Today, the total accumulated national debt is more than $320 billion. That works out to approximately $34,000. for each household in the country. With this year's budget, govern- ment revenues should more than cover the costs of current federal programs and services. However we still will have a deficit of $30.5 billion which must be borrowed to pay the interest on our ac- cumulated debt. Because of the increase in bor- rowing rates, it's expected the cost of paying interest on our debt this year will increase by over $6 million, for a total of $39 billion in interest charges. This $39 billion for interest is by far the largest single cost facing the federal government. It's more than will be spent this year for health care, family allowances, Old Age Security, and social assistance combined!

What a way to bring in the summer. | With Mr. Wilson's cost control agenda, it is going to take three tough years to bring the growth of interest, the annual deficit, and the accumulated debt to manageable proportions. We should have a balanced budget by 1994. What's at stake is nothing less Obituary than the government's and our nation's capacity to continue the high standard of living and the quality of life that all Canadians want and expect. The cost of debt reduction may seem high today, but the price of failure is unimagineable. Gladys M.
