A republican.
Fiscal conservatism is the economic philosophy of prudence in government spending and debt.
THAT has been in every republican candidate's platform, campaign and talking points, since Reagan.
Reducing or eliminating the US deficit and debt.
Not one, has followed through.
Instead, most republicans have increased both.
There is no single set of policies regarded as conservative because the meaning of conservatism depends on what is considered traditional in a given place and time. Conservative thought has varied considerably as it has adapted itself to existing traditions and national cultures.
For example, some conservatives advocate for greater
economic intervention, while others advocate for a more
laissez faire free-market economic system.
