Words mean nothing to leftists. So Hillary is conservative because she will raise taxes, thereby saving the government money. That's what makes her a conservative.
Hokay . . . .
LOL! WaPo is losing it.
HillaryCare disproves the whole article.
Why? Because Hillary always makes sure others pay her bills?
>>> Clinton’s spending increases and other proposals that cost money have a total price tag of about $1.8 trillion over the next decade. But her offsets, which come mostly from tax hikes, would save an estimated $1.9 trillion over that same period (or closer to $1.6 trillion if you don’t count those as-yet-unspecified business tax proposals). <<<
There’s some heavy smoking (something) right there in the paragraph. Wishful thinking and smoking unicorns is not the way to live your life, young lady.
the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget wants increased taxes.
It’s the only solution they will accept to balance the budget.
So a ‘fiscal conservative’ is someone who will raise taxes!
What a bunch of hypocritical cant. The author accuses Republicans of engaging in "identity politics," while Hillary Clinton shamelessly panders to the hate-whitey #BlackLivesMatter thugs. I suppose that in liberal doublethink that's not identity politics.
The small grain of truth about the Clinton's "fiscal conservatism" is that Federal spending and the welfare state didn't grow any more under the Clintons that it did under the Bushes. However, setting the bar that low just gives us a case of damnation through faint praise.
Looked Maya up....she and her husband met at the Brookings Institute. That should be enough said.....but I would like to point out that Leftists can SAY anything they want, such as ‘Hillary! is a fiscal conservative’ and nary a peep from Big Media. Anything a Leftist says is considered the truth......at least by those in their sycophant Media. And many will BELIEVE this as it is in the WaPo.
I didn’t know taxing the sh!t out of people was being conservative.
Which three Federal Departments and Agencies will she close first ?
Hillaryous Rotten Criminal represents 1/2 of the greatest crime couple in the history of The United States of America. Look it up.
Yeah....I think so. She ‘fiscally conserves’ every effing bit of money she steals, extorts, influence peddles, grafts, grifts and greeds. She spends “other peoples’ money”.
They are recycling the old Clintoon campaign trick where they get the Compost, NY Slimes, La Slimes, ChiTribune, Faux and ABCNNBCBS to lie and claim how fiscally conservative the Clintoons are to get the independent votes.
Words mean nothing to leftists. So Hillary is conservative because she will raise taxes, thereby saving the government money. That's what makes her a conservative.
Hokay . . . .
Well she and Bill took a deduction on Bill’s underwear for charity...otherwise when has Hillary had anything to do with the USA economy...other than to enrich herself by it......
This from a fairly young reporter who knows perfectly well that publishing even a single word of criticism of Hillary will ensure that she never, ever gets to interview her and that she is banned from the White House if by chance she wins in November.
yeah, right... 
how can she be conservative if she is a fiscal ignoramus?
fishin for that crossover vote. Good luck.
Compared to Sanders? Yes she is. Compared to Trump? She may well be, it’s hard to tell with him.
“Lower rates of taxation will stimulate economic activity and so raise the levels of personal and corporate income as to yield within a few years an increased – not a reduced – flow of revenues to the federal government.”
