Even on that assertion, what the Republicans purport to do fiscally is not actually conservative. Sadly, this was more of a wake-up call to me back in my late twenties. There hasn't been a fiscally conservative president since Nixon. Oddly enough, I think Clinton was the next closest fiscally. Reagan took us from the largest creditor to being the largest debtor, and he's hailed as a conservative icon. I just don't get it.
