Individua...<br />Budgets are spending and revenue plans.<br /><br />Individuals have budgets, family households likewise, similarly institutions such as universities and hospitals, and of course, companies.<br /><br />But we all know they are seldom met so spending has to be cut or revenue increased. Now things start to get interesting.<br /><br />Individuals can borrow money to cover a budget shortfall - they go to the bank. They may need the money for repairs to a recreation room floor or to buy and plant trees. Operating. If they want to add a room onto their house the money is capital.<br /><br />Individuals know what their money is purchasing.<br /><br />But governments often don't, or if they do, they often obfuscate. And they all borrow big time. They don't want to share their blunders with those who voted and possibly even voted for them. A recent case in point is the Ontario government's contributing several millions of dollars to teachers' union representatives because of the significantly longer bargaining sessions. Now is this not enough to make the cow pies fly?<br /><br />There are so many contingencies, special funds, you name it - they exist - that I have no confidence in Aurora's budget, nor that of any other government at any level.<br /><br />The whole thing is such a sham that even the average forensic auditor would have a hard time separating the wheat from the shit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-31300921294256884662015-11-07T11:23:13.743-05:002015-11-07T11:23:13.743-05:00They were going to stop relying on the interest [ ...They were going to stop relying on the interest [ what interest these days ? ] from the Hydro Funds. <br /> But every year, it just doesn't get done.
