When conservatives say “fiscal responsibility” they mean cutting social spending so they can inflict as much harm on poor people as possible. If you look at everything they say through that lens, it all makes sense.
That’s what’s baffling, social services are fiscally conservative, taxing the richest in order to make sure the poorest have better living conditions is fiscally conservative, not spending public funds on companies worth billions is fiscally conservative… Fiscal conservatism is supposed to be spending public money wisely, well the most logical way to spend money for a government is by having a monopoly on certain things to make sure they’re provided to the population without the goal of making profit from it!
The most fiscally responsible stance is to be against corruption. The corruption is the thing that causes money magically disappear.
There are bad apples in Democratic party (Kevin de Leon from LA for example. I hope he never gets beyond current position) and we should fight hard to kick them out, but right now GQP is in its own league in terms of corruption.
Except Dems have always been the party of fiscal responsibility too.
