I rarely hear Republicans actually call themselves fiscally conservative.
It seems more like an abandoned stance than a lie at this point.
Well, you occasionally hear some chest thumping from Republicans about being “deficit hawks”. Fairly sure they all voted for the latest tax cuts.
Because 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.
Raising 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.
Did you somehow miss the marketing spiel (propaganda) for DOGE??
