- Retric 7mo agoI rarely hear Republicans actually call themselves fiscally conservative. It seems more like an abandoned stance than a lie at this point.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 7mo agoWell, you occasionally hear some chest thumping from Republicans about being “deficit hawks”. Fairly sure they all voted for the latest tax cuts.
- cosmicgadget 7mo agoBecause raising taxes was never part of their deficit reduction strategy. Not that it matters, being fiscally conservative was never an honestly held belief but simply a campaign slogan.
- babypuncher 7mo agoRaising taxes was never part of their deficit reduction strategy, sure. But we're talking about the fact that they cut taxes. You can't fix a deficit by reducing income.
