Fiscal conservatism is the spoken ideology of whatever party doesn’t control the House of Representatives - where (by in large) they decide where all that sweet sweet money is going.
It was spend spend spend with no end in sight for the Democrats - but as soon as they lost control of the House - suddenly fiscal restraint was the order of the day.
The GOP talks a good game about financial conservatism - but once they have control of the House - ideology takes a back seat to the fun fun fun of spending ALL THAT MONEY!
Sickening ain't it?
