The #NDP should vote against the budget, not abstain.

They should vote against it mainly onnthe basis that it requires balanced "operational spending", and only allows deficits for "capital spending".

Operational spending includes all program spending to individuals like CPP/OAS, EI, healthcare.

Capital spending excludes all spending to individuals.

That makes it OK to create money to give to large private capital firms, but forbids creating money to spend on healthcare.
