And I'd argue that Conservatives are trying to balance the budget after the Liberals reckless spending habits. Though the older I get the more I start to believe that that is what they want. You and me fighting over left and right when they both are there just to serve their own needs.

They don't balance the budget, they haven't in decades. All they do now is enrich their donors and friends. If they really wanted to balance the budget they would raise taxes on the rich, not cut essential services.

Do you still believe this to be true? Conservatives consistently push for lower taxes and higher military spending. The taxes are the big part, taxes on the wealthy are drastically lower than they were a generation ago.

You've been fighting over right and far right. Liberals are not leftist.
