But that's not "fiscally conservative", which is the way conservatives like to frame it. The policy they support is, "Put debt on my children so I can have a better lifestyle today."

Conservative fiscal policy has historically been about running up the debt.

The Democrat party is the party of fiscal conservative / socially liberal.

Exactly. Republicans say that tax cuts skewed towards the rich are "fiscally conservative".

If I told my spouse that I was going to take money out of our kids' college savings accounts and give it to us instead so we could go to Disneyland, she wouldn't respond "why that's awfully fiscally conservative of you there, jballs."

She'd call me a fucking idiot. Because Republicans are fucking idiots.
