Part of what makes me ask this is that the perception in the U.S. is that the Replublicans are better financial stewards yet there have been many studies that show that Democratic administrations have been better; yet the perception remains.

Obviously it's a simple question with a really really complex answer, but the simple answer is no. The NDP were no worse at managing finance.
Vastly oversimplified, total spending trends are no different
How reactive you should be to a revenue decline is a philosophical question with no one right answer.
