re: #60 Casual Talker

To some (including myself), fiscal conservatism is a catch-word for a kind of economic philosophy. You may think it’s a wrong-headed one, but hopefully you can still appreciate that it’s one that places economic priorities in the forefront.

I don’t know of anyone on either side who suggests that fiscal irresponsibility is a good thing. I see the major divide over what the money is spent for. The right seems to prefer corporate related expenditures and military. The left looks toward public good, education, and the safety net. If there’s going to be any over-spending, I would prefer to see the latter.
