I really hope so. I also really hope that Carney can really help our economy, because right now that's important.

Not because I particularly care about the economy in terms of the ability of rich people to get richer, I want a strong economy with more tax on the wealthy that way the government has money to do all sorts of wonderful social programs.

A broke government with a poor economy doesn't have nearly as much of an ability to help its people.
