Government committees are meeting over the weekend to try to work out just how they are going to meet their self-imposed deadlines related to their tanking of multiple sectors of the economy. “We are steadfast in our commitment to the people of this great nation to be completely transparent when reporting on our progress on tanking the national economy.”

“We are here today to admit publicly that our goals were too optimistic and that is squarely on us.  Elected officials and government agencies have worked together, putting in untold hours, to try to meet these targets but have been unable to do so. Much more time and financial resources will have to be allocated before Canadians will see the kind of results that they have come to except from this government.”’

Canadians should not see this as a failure of government so much as just acknowledging that it just maybe lacking success.

Spokesman Jared McDonald (Finance Committee Chair) conceded that several European countries have managed to tank their economy well within their prescribed deadlines but added that many of those same economies were much closer to tanking initially. This means that imposing any government policy would necessarily achieve totally tanking at a faster rate than what we are seeing here.  Unfortunately, we have had to overcome a starting point of a relatively robust financial environment.
