college kid graduates with 100k in debt, uses a credit card liberally and racks up 20k more in debt, works as a pizza delivery guy who takes in almost no money beyond expenses. racks up and passes forward heaps of debt.

"yeah that guy is fiscally conservative, because debt passed forward isnt part of that equation" - Ofthevoid, apparently.

Nah bro, fiscal responsibility isn't part of the equation because of a definition he found. Definitely not the basis for the entire ideology or anything.

Coolidge followed by Eisenhower.

Good Democrats were B. Clinton and Truman.

Some top-end iq analogy right here.

I get we live in a post-fact world but when one party says spend 600 billion and another says 2 trillion, and this is one of many in a string of such examples we can deduce which of the two is more fiscally conservative. At least most objective people can.

large numbers with a lot of zeros are hard though, i get it, i can understand why they start to all look the same to you.

what part of the
money in -- Taxes
money out-- Budget spending.
Difference= surplus or deficient

Just because the guy is not asking for money in (taxes) doesn't mean he is financially responsible.
Are you saying all you care about is financially conservative. IE no taxes.
The deficient doesn't matter?
So I would assume you're not that dumb.. So why are you splitting hairs for 50 pages? The general use of the term "financially conservative" meant they cared about not only the tax rate but the budget deficient.

Fiscal conservatism is a political and economic philosophy regarding fiscal policy and fiscal responsibility advocating low taxes, reduced government spending and minimal government debt. Deregulation, free trade, privatization and tax cuts are its defining qualities.

There you go assuming people who disagree with you are dumb because they disagree with you, instead of actually listening to what they say.

If I ever start a business I'll be giving you a call. You're exactly the kind of person who is great at being a spreadsheet junky. You are just going to do what you're told, and I know you'll give consistent output. But you'll never go near a project that requires critical analysis and creative thought.
