Dear Ralph Goodale: Give me my money back
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
You bitch
I want my money back
I want my money back
And don't forget
Yeah, don't forget

You short,
mean,
bossy,
overbearing
--Ben Folds

Oh yes, a song for the feds. Give me my money back, that's right. 8B surplus? Time for the cheque in the mail or a tax break, thank you. Find the money for funding slush funds in your own bank account.
Ottawa's surplus may hit $8B

By STEPHANIE RUBEC, OTTAWA BUREAU, TORONTO SUN

Finance Minister Ralph Goodale is expected to reveal today that this year's federal surplus will be more than double his initial estimate of $4 billion. In a bid to beat the heat for lowballing the surplus, Goodale will use 18 economists' projections as the basis for his new forecast during a Commons committee appearance.

I cannot wait for this appearance.
