... so far.

But, and this is the math I'm thinking, helping some in this very early version of a plan the cruel conservatives already want to quash and discredit in its infancy before it can look good, is a laudable goal and a good first step. This is akin to disparaging a toddler for its carpentry work.

The Liberals need to pony up real money and do this stuff correctly, not drag their feet and nickle-and-dime it, lest people remember what life was like before 1990, when we started giving everything away to pay for tax cuts for the rich.
