I think self-described "fiscal conservatives" of the past 30 yrs can best be summed up by the idiom "penny wise, pound foolish".

No party or ideology has a monopoly on actual sound fiscal management, but history tells us that "liberals" are usually better at it, while "conservatives" are better at claiming they are better at it.
