Very few people in government are fiscal conservatives, and it is pretty sad. Thanks JamesT :) I agree that the R & D parties are pretty much the same right now.

That makes you my favorite blogger in WiseBread. There is another that contributes about government and our leaders but tends to be politically correct in the discussionwish. I prefer someone that stands on his or her beliefs. Of course, the rest of the bloggers come up with either good lifestyle advice or just blabbing about where to find the cheapest knick knacks. Regarding the R and D party, they are just doing the same thing, making it look that they oppose each other to make it look that there is an opposition but in the end, they are both responsible for our bad economy and our reputation as a country. We need to get rid of the party affiliations and vote on individuals that are qualified. I find it refreshing that someone in WiseBread is discussing politics and the government bailouts.

I have contacted my Rep. and Senators about the current CPSIA issue and received the pat "auto reply" from my Rep. and not a word from my Senators! They want to do whatever they like and damn the rest of the nation. It's all about going against the other party regardless of the issue.

The Republican party is definitely one of social conservativism, taking stands against Gay Marriage, Abortion etc. However, they are not necessarily a party of fiscal conservatism (six out of the ten largest earmarks in the stimulus package went to Republican districts). Rather, the difference between the parties is merely spending priorities. Republicans want a big military and supply-side corporate welfare, while Democrats want health care and education. Oddly enough, because of the spending perception, Democratic administrations tend to cut spending, while Republican administrations tend to increase it. I'll also point out that in government it's not so clear cut what is necessary and what is excess. Some may call public education a keystone in providing equal opportunity for all, while others might call it a waste of taxpayer dollars.
