But where did that money come from? His astoundingly successful fiscally conservative policies.

What kind of leftist drivel is that? The money that fueled his wild spending and governemnt expansion came from taxpayers.

Leftist drivel? It's called supply-side economics. Rudy cut taxes, lowered the tax rate, which unshackled business, which then expanded, and hired hundreds of thousands of people - all of which increased the tax base. An increased tax base brings in more money to the treasury.

Clearly, the only reason you refuse to acknowledge that Rudy's policies were textbook fiscal conservatism is that you don't understand what fiscal conservatism is. What do you think happened under Ronald Reagan in the 1980s? Exactly, precisely the same thing.
