This is silly - the budget might as well be posted online

Who needs to wait for the budget -- it's all online already ...

Flaherty's budget to focus on spending, tax cuts

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty will table the federal budget Tuesday, outlining exactly how the government plans to stimulate the economy through major spending and tax-cut initiatives.

Ahead of Tuesday's release, the Conservatives have gradually leaked details about the budget, including $64 billion in deficit spending over the next two fiscal years. It marks the first time in a dozen years that Ottawa's books have run into the red.

A large chunk of the money will be devoted to an economic stimulus package, including $7 billion for infrastructure and $2 billion for public housing projects.
