If it’s true, then he has to vote for the liberal candidate…. because there are zero politicians that are fiscally conservative.

I’m socially liberal and fiscally conservative.
I want investments made that have good ROI for society and keep taxes low. But I understand we need to pay taxes for services.
I’ve voted straight blue in every election because democrats are ALWAYS more fiscally conservative than republicans, 10 out of 10 times.

Oh yes, the same ones who argue “Both Sides are Bad” and doesn’t personally have a problem with gay and trans people, but seriously, those tax cuts for the uber wealthy, they could be that wealthy some day if they didn’t have to pay so much in taxes!!!!

“Fiscally conservative and socially liberal” is actually really achievable, but it looks an awful lot like the “evils of socialism”
For example: instead of having housing assistance, snap benefits, etc. just tax everything that’s BAD for society at large, such as: carbon, alcohol, tobacco, firearms, sugar, etc. with a “pigouvian” tax. Pigouvian taxes are re-distributed to every tax payer in equal amounts, rich and poor (universal basic income).
It discourages purchases that hurt everyone and drive up individual costs of healthcare and life at large.
It doesn’t add money supply (inflation) due to it being a tax on consumption, it’s paid back directly to everyone without beaucracy bloat, and it’s very libertarian, since there’s no red tape on what it’s used for. You can pay rent, buy food, or buy drugs and get fucked up. Nice freedom.
It puts the burden of responsibility on the individual, while also providing everyone with a lifeline. It’s efficient, and universal. “Fiscally conservative, and socially liberal”

I say this and vote blue every time. I want the money I pay to go to services that help people and hate fiscal waste. I always thought of myself as a moderate liberal- which in my head is this. But maybe I’m wrong I don’t know.

The fact that he can’t just say “liberal” and needs to specify that he’s still right leaning is a huge red flag

Sure I’m definitely socially liberal and fiscally conservative, meaning that I want my tax dollars used judiciously, intelligently, and fairly in ways that actually benefit greater society rather than a few dozen billionaires and our war machine.

Democrats are the party of fiscal responsibility and conservatis.
Republicans are about authoritarianism, grift, and wild spending and bribes to their elites while crashing government and the economy to prove government doesn’t work.

I ran into a lovely dude with his kids in Savannah Georgia. We got to talking and him and his wife are educators. Dude called himself a “recovering liberal” … I could not for the life of me get him to explain what that meant.

U.S. national debt was $4.7 trillion dollars in 1994, then Newt Gingrich and the Republican Revolution took over the House for the first time in 4 decades.
Since 1995 the GOP has controlled the House whose job it is to create yearly budgets for the country. The founders chose the House because they were more closely tied representing to the population and were up for reelection every two years.
In the past 31 years the GOP has controlled the House for 23 years. Trump added $8 Trillion to the debt his first term, and the U.S. debt has grown from $4.7 trillion to $37.8 Trillion.
If after 31 years you still believe the GOP is fiscally conservative you’re extremely gullible and easily buy into MAGA / FOX Propaganda.

That’s just code for, “Money is more important than your rights and freedoms.” They might as well call themselves backstabbers, because it’s what they are.

That’s me and I know the Republicans are not fiscally conservative so I’ve never voted for those assclowns. Fiscally conservative means spending only what you have to ( very open for interpretation)
