Every now and then, the media, through an oversight on their part, actually asks Justin a real question, rather than, say, obsessing over what kind of shampoo he uses or which socks he’s wearing today. For example, Tom Clark of Global TV asked Justin, “Why are your deficits good and their deficits bad?”

“Well, deficits are a way of measuring the kind of growth and the kind of success that a government is actually able to create.”

Justin Trudeau, overturning five hundred years of economic theory.

That’s right! Deficits are now a measure of success. In the same way that an overdraft at the bank is a sign that things are going swell! So, the next time a collection agency contacts you about overdue accounts, just say, “No, no, no. You don’t understand. That’s just a sign of the type of success I’m having!”
