Definition from WIKI:
Fiscal conservatism is a political term used to describe a
fiscal policy that advocates avoiding
deficit spending. Fiscal conservatives often consider
reduction of overall government spending and
national debt as well as ensuring
balanced budget of paramount importance.
reduction of spending = reducing size of government.
