Capital Grant Allocation Questioned The Ontario Public School Boards' Association has completed a brief examina- tion of the education capital grant allocations on a regional and public separate basis. The Ministry of Education will pay the $214.4 million total to school boards in the 1994.95 fiscal year. These capWd grants are to fund the construction of 26 new schools, eight replacement schools and 41 school addi- tions, for a total of 27,000 new pupil places in On- tario. In Central Ontario district, the public boards received only 24% of the allocations while the separate boards received 76%• In Eastern Ontario district, the public boards received only 34% of the allocations while the separate boards received 66%.

Mainstream Canada a page for expression for you and us Are We Bigots? "Only bigots need racial crime stats" screamed the headline. No one I have spoken to says there is any correla- tion between race and crime. Every race and every country has its share of criminals. It's just that some countries seem to be exporting them more than others. I, and the other supporters of gathering statistics based on race ethnic origin and country of origin, want these and other information such as age, sex, socio-economic level, educational level and cultural background so that all the data can be comprehensively analysed and discussed dispassionately. Only then can public policy be properly formulated. The opposition has either chosen to ignore our position or is sadly misinformed. Am I a bigot? Is Dr. Joseph Wong, founding president of the Chinese Canadian National Council and current Chair- man of the United Way a bigot when he says ''What's distur- bing is that most of the problems seem to be from some sort of imported organized crime"? (Toronto Star, Feb. 16, 1991). Is Susan Ing a bigot when she says "it's important to remember that the Asian community wants these thugs out of here as much as anyone else. A thug is a thug, whatever the colour and they can damn well get out of the country"? (also Toronto Star. Feb. 16. 1991). Is Sgt. Ben Eng a bigot for saying much the same thing? His main transgression seems to be in quantifying what others have said in ap- parent contravention of a Police Services Board policy. Are businesses (media included) and social agencies bigoted when they gather these same statistics in oder to better deploy their resourres? Statistics are simply a tool. And. like any tool they can be used for good or for evil, just like a fine tempered blade. In the hands of a skilled surgeon, it can work miracles. In the hands of a criminal, it can disfigure, maim, or even kill. Sheldon Taylor (a doctoral candidate in history) wrote a very thoughtful and forthright article on "Why it's urgent to collect stats on black dropouts." (Toronto Star, July Z 1991 In it. he says "solutions cannot be found unless the problem is effectively studied and quantified. The collec- tion of statistics by race may well be a risk, but it is a necessary oche." While he was writing on a different sub- ject. the reasoning is applicable in the debate on crime. Extremists will always try to manipulate information to serve their own ends. The way to deal with these hi huts is to be eternally vigilant not to suppress the obvious. Gordon J. Chang D.D.S. Former member City of Toronto's Committee on Community and Race Relations Canadians Are Angry by Bob Watson The federal Progressive Conservatives - we understand - are meeting to Toronto this week for a convention and no doubt there will be many demonstrators around the PCs. Canadians, in the latest poll have said that they want an election `tow - not two years down the road because most citizens are hurting from the many problems created by this P.C. government led by Brian !Mulroney. Canadians are angry at many issues. Many feel that the maintenance of a high interest rate created the current recession. The GST has been wrongly put on postage stamps. electricity, house sales and the press (newspapers, maagazines and books ) . Millions of dollars have been wasted on many projects - too many to mention - all driving the national debt higher and higher. Not many citizens realize that our PC government is pay- ing our taxes to support the Communist A.NC party of South Africa. We pay for an embassy at Ottawa, a consulate in Toronto and newsletters. When Nelson Mandela came to Canada for a visit Canadians paid for his trip. Mandela recently visited Cuba and fellow Communists. A recent project is to build four new prisons for women prisoners - all to cost millions of dollars. There seems to be no feeling in our government to conserve our dollars for the national debt` However, we doubt if any members of the Progressive Conservatives at this convention will ask for a new leader and a new realistic policy on financing our country. flews PICr RiOc s I] Published every Weenesday by Watson Publishing Company Limited, Est. 1950 Postal Address: Box 111, Agincourt, Ont.

Here and There Agreement Reached On Teachers' Pensions The Ontario government and the Ontario Teachers' Federation (OTF) have reached agreement in principle on a new governance structure for the Ontario Teachers' Pen- sion Plan, Education Minister Marion Boyd and OTF Presi- dent Guill Archambault have announced. "Giving teachers a say in the management of their pen- sion fund has long been a major issue for OTF," said Mr. Archambault. "We are pleased that this agreement will treat us as equals. We will recommend approval to the OTF Board of Governors at their August meeting." "This agreement means that the teachers' pension plan will be run as a fair partnership between government and teachers," said Mrs. Boyd. "We will now share equally in both the risks and rewards of managing the teachers' pen- sion fund." The government and OTF have agreed: that they will Some people were and still are resistant to the Census of Canada which was taken on June 4th. They felt it was an in - vaston of privacy, unnecessary and a waste of the govern- ment's money. What they may not realize is that these statistics are vitally important. The government uses statistics to make intelligent decisions based upon facts, not opinions or guess work. For instance, Census data is used to allocate federal transfer payments. Every person not counted in your community costs money. Transfer payments, based on Census data, help fund programs including health care, education, welfare and social services. Census data is also used as a basis for analyzing the need for schools, bus routes, and hospitals in your community. Your community could lose a lot of money and much needed services if people refuse to fill out the re- quired Census forms. Many people use Census data, not just the government. Businesses use Census data to better analyze their markets. For instance, if you were planning to open a new store outlet, Census data could help you decide the best location, in the area most suited to your product. The Census gives valuable insights into the demographic makeup of our country and helps us better understand the environment in which we all live. For example, do you know the population of Ontario? What percentage of that population live in urban areas rather than rural? What percentage of our population actually live on farms? What percentage of our population were born in countries other than Canada? Are there more people over the age of 65 than there are under the age of 15? These type of statistics are provided in the analysis of Cerwis data. If you still have your questionnaire hold on to it, a Census Representative will be by to pick it up. Or, if you prefer, you may mail it directly to: Statistics Canada, 522 University Avenue, 11th Floor, Toronto, Ontario MSG IW7. All answers are based on the 1966 Census. Ontario's population was 9,101,695. 0% of those people lived in urban areas. Less than 5% of Ontario's population live on farms. Over 16% of Ontario residents were born in a country other than Canada. In 1966, the young still out- numi*ered the old Here and There Lower Interest Rates and Prices Keep Housing Markets active The recovery of resale housing markets shows every sign of being for real, bort don't expect a return to boom market conditions in the foreseeable future, says Royal LePage.

"But both sales activity and house prices are up from last year."

In nearly all areas the housing market recovery to date is being propelled by a high proportion of first-time buyers. In Toronto. 50% of resale horses are being sold to first-time buyers. In Montreal, the figure is 60%. largely the result of government incentive programs. have equal representation on the Ontario Teachers' Pen- sion Plan Board, with a chairperson selected by metal agreement. The current Board consists of a Chairperson and four members, all appointed by the government, and three members appointed by OTF; that they will have joint and equal responsibility for the sponsorship and manage- ment of the plan. and will share equally in future surpluses or deficits; and that they will resolve any disputes about contribution rates and benefits through binding arbitration. The Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan currently serves an estimated 160,000 active teachers, 811,000 inactive teachers, and 39,000 pensioners. With assets having an estimated market value of $21.1 billion at the end of 1990, the Plan is one of Canada's largest financial institutions.

Ontario Ministry Submits Views On Phones To CRTC The Ontario Ministry of Culture and Cormiunica- tiais has submitted its (ural r sn to the CRTC and Telecommunications Commission) on the impact of competition in the pr ra- sion of long-distance tdephoiie service. In its submission, the On- tario Government reaf- firmed its commitment to maintaining universal, af- fordable telephone service in Ontario. Minister of Culture and Communications Rosario Marchese says: "We are convinced that in the case of long distance, a single, effectively -regulated pro- vider is the way to go." Marchese says that the existing system is working well and that Canadians have one of the best telecommunications systems in the world: "Our laag-distance rates have dropped 30 percent since 1967, we have the lowest call failure rate of any developed country, 99 per- cent of Ontario households have telephone service, and we are in the forefront of technological develop- ment.,, Ontario has carefully considered the Unitel and BCRail / Lightel (BCRL) proposal to plug into Canada's core public long- distance telephone service. The province is concern- ed that the Unite] proposal includes a regulated price advantage, and that Unitel is not proposing to pay a full contribution to the maintenance of low local rates. Nor will Unitel pay for the reprogramming and other changes necessary for Unitel's entry to the market. Without such payments non-Unitel customers will likely bear the costs in the form of higher local rates. Ontario is also concerned that BCRI.'s proposal does not provide service to most of the country and is not proposing to pay a full con- tribution oo-tribution "Promises of lower bng- dounce rates may sound appealing," says Mar- chese, ..but revenues from long-distance rates are needed to support research, development, lower local rates and maintenance of the ex - Country Quilt Fest '91 At Agricultural Museum There'll be quilts galore as the Ontario Agricultural Museum in co-operation with •'Ibe Hobby Horse" quilt shop of Georgetown present "Country Quilt Fest '91", Aug. 9, lo, 11.

Ontario Scholars on Page 7 Page 6 THE NEWS; POST Wed. August 7, 1991 ;Bill Watt's Worlds ONSCREEN: One of the many things we like about Charlie Sheen is his apparent adherence to the 11th commandment, Never take thyself too damned seriously. He is a good, competent actor and could probably become one of the handful of great ones, the ones ad- mired by intellectuals and eschewed by the majority of the ticket buying public. Hurd Hatfield and John Dahl come to mind as ex- amples of what we're try- ing, however inadequately, to say. They were both good, competent actors but they never really made it because they took themselves and their art too seriously. Charlie Sheen, however, seems content to accept almost any role, do it well and . . . win his public. Much has been made in the trade papers recently -about his string of current flops. Crappo de la torn! His films might not have done well but he can't be shouldered with what ever blame there might be perceived to be. He works well, works hard and satisfies his per- sonal audience among whom we are pleased to in - dude ourself. Nowhere is this more evi- dent than in Hot Shots (20th Century Fox ) . It's a silly movie. maybe even stupid but damme! it's supposed to be. It's intended to make you laugh, not chuckle. to beam, not just smile. Older readers will recall a series of comedy films made during World War Two about American army life. They had silly titles like Hayfoot and Stand Easy. They all had a slewfoot shave tail (William Tracy). silly ass commanders (Jimmy Gleason and Joe Sawyer) and a romantic lead i usural- ly Dick Foran t. They all made one laugh even while realizing they were slapsticky, wonderfully slapsticky. Hot Shots is like them with the added touch of be- ing a send up of recent films such as Top Gun. Charlie Sheen is a hot shot flyer seconded back into the Navy and trying to overcome the trauma of his hot shot father's supposed disgrace some 20 years earlier. He becomes part of a select -select? hoo boy! - bunch of idiots on a dangerous mission, the nature of which is never really made clear, and who cares anyway? Sight gags abound as do throw away lines that were thrown away with vaudeville. About the only one you won't hear is "vacs you dare Sharlee?" but for all we know, it might have been cut from the final print. Our favourite of the former? The scene where Sheen fries bacon and eggs on the stomach of a nubile Valeria Golino. Of the latter? When he suggests she's been with other men and she demurs, "I'm a virgin. I'm just not very good at it." Pay no attention to the in- tellectuals. Go see Hot Shots and have a helluvalot of belly laughs. And, watch Charlie Sheen's perfor- mance. He'll make you laugh in a way that Hurd Hatfield or John Dahl could not. AROUND TOWN: Free Thursday evening concerts begin tomorrow evening at Nathan Phillips Square. They run from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. and admission is free. The talent is simply first rate. Tomorrow it's Michelle Wright and suc- cessive Thursdays will showcase Veronique B*liveau, Almeta Speaks and, our personal favourite, Jane Bunnett, a musician who can wail with the best of them. Meanwhile, Harbour - front presents another piece of esotenca starting tomorrow and running through to Aug. 11th. It's WOMAD and that's ob- viously an acronym but we don't know for what. Anyway. it is said to offer everything from Korean rhythms to Columbian cowboy music (does Juan Valdez know about this"), souk to soukous, new -funk Greek beat to modern Subahili dance ... the list goes on. We understand that many are eagerly an- ticipating Womad Workshops conducted by U.K.'s Jah Wobble, Ethiopia's Seleshe Damessae and Korea's Kim Duk Soo. What ever happened to the barbecued spare ribs bake off? A new show opens a week tomorrow at the Madison Centre's Solar Stage. It's called Everything But The Kitchen Cynic and it stars the comedy troupe with the ambitious, albeit contriv- ed, title Serious Comedy For Oxymorors. We caught up with the trio recently at the Laugh Resort and were rather much impressed. Their comedy is a palatable mix of the cerebral and the raunchy spiced with more than a soupcon of Cheech and Chong. Kitchen Cynic could well be a sleeper hit. You read it here first. On the same program at the Laugh Resort was young singer Fiona Willsie. Though plagued by a less than, perfect sound mix she still came through as a young Bonnie Tyler.

Good luck and memo tutissimus ibis. IN PRINT: You know your reviews are piling up when a soft cover edition of a book ar- rives before you've delivered a review of the hard cover edition. You also know that it has been received successfully by the public. We have at hand the more recently published edition of The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf (Vin- tage Random House) and confess difficulty in know- ing what to make of it. Ms. Wolf, a most attrac- tive lady if one is to accept her airbrushed jacket photo -of thirty-nine, seems to be saying that women have had to put up with much during history simp- ly in order to look attrac- tive. One supposes that's so. It's also a fact, that right or wrong, attractive people - men and women -are usual- ly chosen for positions in in- dustry and society over those who are less attrac- tive. What the young Ms. Wolf hasn't seemed to grasp is that attractive people -we're talking physically attractive here - are superior people. Not always, of course. Golda Meier was not attractive in the usually accepted sense but she became the world's first elected woman Prime Minister. Mrs. Meier, however was one of the ex- ceptions rather than the rule. It remains that attac- tive people are usually the most successful. And, in- telligent people who realize that, are at pains to make themselves better looking.

New computer hardware and software will enable the Village to strearnine records management for its collection of more than 35,000 artifacts and im- prove upon exhibition design applications. The project which com- menced this month, in- volves the purchase of two microcomputers, a modem, collections management software, ex- hibit design software and office administration soft- ware. "Thus is a major step for- ward for the Village,” say Black Creek Manager Mar- ty Brent. "For instance, computerization will enable us to better manage our collections, donornoan information and annual in- vents nes and to increase our in -hale exhibit deign capability " Matching funding for the computerization project has been raised through private donations.

While riding on the Bet- ter Way recently we saw a young woman reading it. Her legs were not crossed at the ankle but were akim- bo rather much in the man- ner of a drunken stevedore. Her hair was frizzed, a slash of scarlet smudged her lips and she was eating a chocolate bar. She drop- ped the wrapper on the floor at her feet which were encased in no doubt expen- sive but never the less, filthy running shoes. Beauty Myth Anyone? FAST EXIT: And now, the final episode in our thrilling four part series about the state of Tennessee. Some years ago actor William Boyd who por- trayed Hopalong Cassidy in motion pictures and on television was made an honotrary member of the Chickasaw indian tribe. The event was covered by the world press including some members from France. As part of the induction ceremonies he was presented with an ornate pair of ceremonial moc- cassins which were then deposited outside a wigwam to be retrieved later. When Boyd went to get them, they were badly chewed and there were cougar tracks all around. In anger, he saddled up his horse Topper and rode off into the surrounding brush to track the beast. He found it, shot it, threw the carcass across the saddle in front of him and rode back to the reservation. As he rode into camp, one of the French reporters called out "Pardon me Boyd. Is that the chat that chewed your new shoes?" Gi 1, .. Cedric Uem 81.3% 0 �0 Monica Ham 80.0% Wed. August 7, 1891 THE NEWS/POST Page 7 Woburn C.I.

Being the perpetual op- timistic person I am, I believed however wrong war might be, we stood to gain something from it nevertheless. Defending freedom, by liberating Kuwait, sent a message to all world leaders; our freedom will always be defended at all cast. The cost as a nation was obvious, however, our in- nermost feeling of our security being threatened for the fust time in our generation, was not taken for granted. Above all, we wanted that security restored. Thoughts of personal .elf -serving ac- complishments became less important as thoughts shifted to priorities that did not involve material fulfill - but. realizing that our family, was the single most important part of our lives, and we were willing to die to protect that. The love I have for my family, is more important to me than anything. I realized that when I became very ill last year and fought for my life to survive from a painful il- lness. My husband, George had to take care of me. It was that profound feeling of love and security of him being there for me, that changed my priorities forever.

In the aftermath of this war, I could not help but think how many people will be forever changed by this experience, and knowing it will be for the better in many cases.

Each foursome will be "hosted" by a former NHLer and the scoring will be based on the popular "scramble" format so no matter what a player's skill level they can still con- tribute to the team's overall standing. Mr. Crouter feels that "although the Liohead course is challenging the camarderie developed with the hockey "Legends" over the day will more than make up for the golfing scores.,, The National Hockey Alumni welcome back its major sponsors; Labatts, Imperial Oil, Air Canada, and General Motors who have made it possible to provide an entertaining event for such a worthy cause. Net proceeds will go to those less fortunate NHA players and their families. No one has ever been turn- ed down. The "Legends of Hockey" Golf Classic is open to all interested par- iticipants with a maximum of 192 players.

The Board's En- vironmental Quality Com- mittee comments on the role of government, non- governmental organiza- tions. industry business. labour, consumers, educators, and others in reaching sustainability. The Board's comments are set to the context of two principles: full cost ac- counting and informed decision-making. The Board states that it is the government's role to foster an investment climate that will support sotmd business growth. Furthermore, the govern- ment should set realistic goals and develop substan- tive and concrete action plans in consultation with stakeholder groups. and in- troduce only regulatory in- itiatives that can be suported by full cost - benefit analysis and are open to meaningful multi - stakeholder consultation prior to the irnplernenta- tion. The Board also states it is the role of in- dustry , business to consult and communicate with goverment, the public. con- stmners, labour, and non- governmental organiza- tions about environmental matter and the effect of regulatory initiatives. It is also their responsibility to develop a high sense of self- regulation through the establishment of a code of practice at the trade association level and to develop and institute specific environmental policies and codes of prac- tice at the individual business level.

That doesn't mean, of course, that you should ever make an unsound in- vestment. A bad invest- ment will turn sour on you regardless of the time span involved. But, given sufficient time available to you, an invest- ment carrying some ele- ment of risk - such as mutual funds invested in common stocks - can pro- vide an excellent return over the long-term. Keep in mind that age-old stock market saying, "the greater the risk, the greater the potential return". On the other hand, the closer you are to retire- ment the more you should be minimizing your ex- posure to risk. Many people are unsure about how much invest- ment risk they can stand. You can determine this quite simply. First of all, do you ever wake up in the middle of the night with a chilly feeling you made an investment mistake? If you unduly worry about the safety of your money, you should recognize you are risk -averse person. It boils down to determin- ing your own personal • risk comfort zone". How much risk can you live with comfortably? In the case of married couples, both spouses should jointly determine the degree of risk the fami- ly unit finds acceptable. Compromise is important else one or other of the spouses may have to en- dure endless worry about the family's financial future. One cardinal rule to • Board Of Trade On Car Insurance On June 19, 1991 representatives of The Board's Insurance Com- mittee met with the Hon. Brian Charlton, MPP, On- tario Minister of Financial Institutions, to discuss The Board's submissions on proposed changes to the present Ontario Motorist Protection Plan (OMPP) <see Executive Summary, February and June 1991). The Board reiterated its recommendation that the OMPP be adjusted where necessary. The Board restated its posi- tion that the free enterprise system is the best means to provide and deliver auto m- surance and should con- follow when it comes to risk-taking is: "Never put all yuor eggs in one basket". Unfortunately, many Canadians either don't know about this rule or they choose to ignore it. Time and again the public learns through the news media about individuals and families losing their life savings which had been invested inappropriately. They had succumbed to slick come-ons by unscrupulous peddlers of get -ruck schemes. Investors also should avoid like the plague stock market "hot tips". They're usually worthless yet thousands of otherwise sen- sible sible people place an unmerited trust in them. It also can be costly to you if you are overly caution when it comes to investing for retirement in- come. For example, your money will lose purchasing power if you put it into bank savings accounts. The rate of return you'll get over the years will very likely be a negative one, when you take into account the combined effects of in- come tax on your interest income from the savings and the annual rise in the cast of living. In other words, being overcautious - as so many Canadians have tradi- tionally been - may result in your retirement income being far short of what you hope it to be. The only way to achieve a satisfactory growth of your retirement in- vestments in a reasonably wary -free manner is to have a diversified portfolio of holdings. The portfolio should include some fixed- income investments, such as bonds and guaranteed investment certificates, as well as equity -based in- vestments such as mutual funds which are invested in common stocks, both domestic and foreign. The exact mix which is best suited to your risk comfort zone and retire- ment income goals can be arrived at through seeking the advice of a trustworthy professional financial plan- ner.

Metro Council News from Bob Sanders Councillor Scarborough Malvern Metro Toronto is trying to get more citizens in Metro in- terested in recycling in order to deal with the serious gar- bage crisis in our area. Community groups can help solve this problem by reduc- ing their own garbage and inspiring others to do the same. Metro's Community Action waste Reduction Grants Pro- gram encourages residents to come up with innovative ideas to reduce waste produced in their neigftbaatloods and then helps them to implement their ideas. Non-profit organizations don't require experience in waste reduction to apply for up to $2,000 in grant funding. Already in 1991 more than $60,000 has been provided to a number of non-profit organizations. One of the groups - a public school - is building and evaluating a 3 bin composter, a warm conposter and a loose pile cornposter and to provide litterless lunch con- tainers to students. Another grog has received $2,000 to purchase 100 used barrels for the collection of fine paper for recycling from small businesses in Etobicoke and York. The group will make the collections and monitor the success of the pro- gram by measuring waste output before and after collec- tion begins. Interested groups can obtain more information or an ap- plication by calling 392-3753 or by contacting your Metro Councillor Bob Sanders at 392-4978. •fes ...... ..... ....':�.''•......... -... ... � �-��... ..

Aug. 10th and 11th, the normally tranquil setting of Picker- ing Museum Village will once again be turned into an armed camp as hun- dreds of American Civil War Re -enactors return once again to stage a military re-enactment and living history weekend. This is the 3rd annual presentation of the life of a common soldier in the War Between the States and if the previous two years are an accurate measuring stick, it will be the most popular event held at the museum this summer. Participation is expected from Union and Con- federate units from Virginia, West Virginia. Pennsylvania, New York State, Michigan and Illinois as well as several Cana- dian based companies. Approximately 250 infan- try riflemen will be engag- ed in the action as well as at least 4 Artillery pieces and 1 Gatling Gun. In addi- tion to the men in uniform, there will be another 100 to 150 non-combatants and costumed civilians. Battle re-enactments will be staged at 2 p.m. on both days. when the two oppos- ing armies will clash in the large open field to the south of the Village. This year's scenario will be The Battle at Payne's Farm, Virginia, originally fought on Nov. 27th, 1863. This was the first major Union offensive into Virginia since the two ar- mies had met at Get- tysburg, nearly five mon- ths before. The Union Ar- my of the Potomac, under the command of General George Gordon Meade, was under heavy pressure from Washington to engage the Confederates before the onset of winter brought ac- tive campaigning to a halt. Meade's army crossed the Rapidan River and struck at the rear of the Con- federate column under the command of General Robert E. Lee. Taken by surprise, the Confederates wheeled their column around and hastily erected breastworks to face their enemy, not realizing that they were outnumbered by a much larger force. This meeting engagement was costly in terms of human life and although there was no clear cut victor by the time nightfall brought an end to the fighting, the Union of- fensive had been fatally crippled and by the 2nd of December the Union army was once again north of the Rapidan River and the Confederates spent a relatively quiet winter. In addition to the battle re-enactment, each of the two days will be filled with Living History. Both the Union and Confederate en- campments will be open to the public to walk through.

For the first time in Canadian history, we are creating a law that will make it illegal for a government to overspend on programs. This will be accomplished by means of legislation soon to be introduced in the House of Commons, that will set ceilings on government spending. Time and again, I get comments and letters from consti- tuents, asking me to help bring government spending under (control. The same people have a hard time believing that the government has been exercising control, very strict control, for eight years already. I can understand why they are surprised. High levels of government spending lead to high levels of taxation, deficits and huge public debts. And we are experiencing all of these things. But we are paying, so to speak, for the sins of the fathers. The growth of the debt since 1984-85 is entirely the result of compounding interest on the original debt, the debt we in- herited from the government before us. In fact, the debt to- day would be $14.1 billion higher, except that since 1987 we have not had to borrow to cover program spending. We have even turned it around: now we have a surplus ($13 billion this year) that we use to pay some of the interest on our debt. Most of us find this whole debt situation very frustrating. Because of interest on the debt, it's not good enough for us to balance our books, and pay for what we use - because the compound interest will keep snowballing, until it's impossi- ble for us to service it. No, we have to do better. In order to do better. we have to strengthen the economy, so that we can better handle the costs involved. The legislated spending limits can help, along with the Debt Ser- vicing and Reduction Account, low -inflation targets, and restraint of federal government wages. Together, these measures should take pressure off infla- tion and interest rates, which will in turn lead to greater in- vestment, and the return of prosperity.
