Yeah, Jenny, but what does that even mean? Fiscally Republican. I guess there can be no doubt they're flushing tax money down the toilet as if there was no tommorow. It's only their mantra of being fiscally conservative and it's all window dressing, since looking at US expenses, there's no austerity at all. It's only the population not getting many benefits for paying their dues. Even worse, the first thing conservatives do is cutting social benefits while their other hand still forks out corporate subsidies and army fundings.
"Republicans talk about deregulation, but they appear to be in favor of deregulation if it benefits corporate America but not if it benefits individual employees or smaller businesses. They like protectionism, emimant domain for private gain, crony capitalism, and licensing to protect existing business in practice. That is what Trump's wall and 45% tarriff are about. But you are right that I wouldn't throw banking regs, environmental laws, social security, or a host of other regs out the window."
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
