This 13.2 Billion paydown at a modest 4% interest rate means that our interest will drop by about a half billion a year. That means 500 Million more dollars to put towards social programs, tax cuts, new equipment for the military or paying down the debt even further next year...I hear people call Stephen Harper a policy wonk (like it's a bad thing to be smart) but most people forget he also has a Master's degree in Economics.
This guy has accomplished more in mere months, with a minority government no less, than Teflon Jean did in a decade.And the word is spreading.
