UPDATE: Tories hint at tax cuts for people earning under $80,000. Also rumoured: planned corporate tax cuts will be sped up.
So continuing with the game of Guess What's in the Budget ...
There's the $6 billion announced in previous orchestrated leaks, the just announced $7 billion for infrastructure and the $13 billion deficit already on the books for 2009/10.
Since Harper revealed on January 17th that 2009/10 will deliver a $34 billion deficit, that leaves $8 billion for more goodies yet to be revealed.
Given the vague and frequent mention over the past week of temporary and permanent tax cuts, likely those will form a good chunk of the remainder - and largely for corporations and the middle class.
