Tell 'em about the reagan tax cuts dave!!!!!

Okay, those are an excellent example of a policy that was NOT fiscally conservative, because the deficit was massively inflated.

Which is one of many reasons why I won't and don't support the Republican party.

Quote from bigdavediode:

I'll dumb it down a bit more:

If you have a credit card, you pay it off before getting cash advances. But only if you're fiscally conservative.

I'll do the same for you, if your spending more than your income you cut down on your spending and live within your means.

Are you actually pushing the liberal canard that it's the government's money? Because letting people keep more of what they earn is NOT writing checks for anything. The government needs to pay off its debts without raising taxes and by cutting spending. Raising taxes would be like trying to cure a drunk with a case of Jack Daniels.

Quote from bigdavediode:

Nope, my friend, paying bills before writing checks is the very definition of the phrase.

It's not your money, it's your kids' money. You already spent your money.

However you want to pretend it happened, you voted for it and it was spent.

Now you have to decide if you are a fiscal conservative or not.

Quote from bigdavediode:

... you voted for it...

very little of it actually.

Now you have to decide if you are a fiscal conservative or not.

Oh I'm fiscally conservative. I pay all my bills on time. Owe money only on one house and one car, the other is paid for.
Pay off CC balances EVERY month. No student loans, I worked and paid as I went. I live within my means, which in case you're wondering means I only spend what I can afford.

I expect our federal government to do the same. IF you were the true fiscal conservative you claim, you would too.

Money productive people haven't earned yet isn't their kids' money or the government's. You're delusional.

Any increases in revenue should come only from growth in the economy, not parasitic tax increases. The debt that politicians racked up needs to be paid off by that and cutting spending (especially to parasites). Speaking of which, are you already a parasite or do you just wish you were one?

Great, then you agree with me. Bills have to be paid first. That's fiscal conservatism.

You have to decide if you'll drop your phony facade or keep it up and continue to make an even bigger fool of yourself.
