Frank Stronach made a speech this week at the national club about his idea regarding an economic freedom charter. It has seven points and while I don’t necessarily agree with the specifics, the general thrust is a return to free market capitalism being the best path to prosperity.

He stressed the government is just way too big. The private sector can’t carry that much on its back. Rather than do a Tim Hudak ( he threatened to fire tons in the bureaucracy) Frank suggested a 10 year freeze on bureaucracy hiring and let it melt away by attrition.

It also doesn't help that public sector employment as a % change has skyrocketed. We are feeding a bureaucratic class.
