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.

Care to back up that statement a bit?
I find "liberals" are most likely to misrepresent "fiscal conservatism" as having a balanced budget when true "fiscal conservatism" includes the reduction of government spending, lowering of taxation and avoidance of deficit spending.
