    Fiscal conservatism should have never been conflated with severe austerity. Starve the government is a bad plan, thanks so much Grover Norquist 😤

      Completely agree.

      Balanced budget, working away the debt, making sure you don’t run a deficit? All totally sensible. But you do that by making the government more efficient and raising tax revenue, not slashing funding willy nilly
