it should result in reducing the deficit - which republicans don't and democrats do.

all the GOP does is cut the taxes of rich and raise the taxes of the middle class, while running up the deficit overall.

That is exactly what fiscally conservative means. That's 100% what I expect when a politician has conservative economic views. Conservatives value keeping the status quo, and the status quo is capitalism, with the rich getting richer.

yeah, but people not in the know think it just means 'prudent government spending'. What it actually means is funnel as much money from the government/taxpayer to the existing rich as possible. I think we are saying the same thing, cheers
