"Fiscal Conservatives"

"When you look at the record of self-described fiscal conservatives, what you see is a long legacy of wild overspending and debt, typically corrected only when more moderate administrations take power, says David Swann, Leader of the Official Opposition. "As you'll see in the video, supposed fiscal conservatives like Premiers Getty and Stelmach and US Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush created huge deficits."

"This video raises an important question: why should anyone believe that any politician who calls himself or herself a fiscal conservative will manage taxpayer dollars responsibly? History shows that the opposite is true," Swann says.
