Can you be sure? The PCs spending problem in the early 2000s got us into a mess.
Notely generally ran a moderate right wing government, especially after a couple months of getting a real look at the books, and realizing you had to be an adult to govern. There are two types of people, those who grow up when they need to manage the purse strings, and those who make excuses or take credit for things they didn't cause.
The UPC hasn't gotten into full spending swing yet, but they are an unpopular incumbent majority during a boom with an election 2 years away. It would take some real principals those guys just don't have to refrain from some very stupid populist spending.
