None of what you wrote applies. This is going to be fun.
quote:
belief in the value of established and traditional practices in politics and society
Yet you refuse to include ESTABLISHED TRADITIONAL policies. You only accept the morphed and very recent history as "established and Traditional".
Just one example. Free Trade.
quote:
In American political theory, fiscal conservatism or economic conservatism[1] is a political and economic philosophy regarding fiscal policy and fiscal responsibility with an ideological basis in capitalism, individualism, limited government, and laissez-faire economics.[2][3] Fiscal conservatives advocate tax cuts, reduced government spending, free markets, deregulation, privatization, free trade, and minimal government debt.
And there it is. Only recent history to descibe what a "conservative" is.
That very comment laughs at your first quote.

Calvin Coolidge was the last conservative President.

This is where not having a core philosophy and stated platform really hurts. There is no definition of a 'conservative' because it means different things to different people.
Yep. And it is mainly the Bushees and McCainites.

Gif, they ignore history to make an argument that HISTORICALLY we have been "X".
You can't make that up!

Is raising the debt ceiling more of an issue when you are 35 trillion in debt than 1 trillion?
Lord

My favorite move by Reagan was the air traffic controller strike. He fired them all and replaced them quickly.

Those aren't mutually exclusive ideals.
Real conservatives don't spend extraneouesly or on, for lack of a better word, fluff. Additionally, real conservatives aren't the only ones in Congress. Democrats DO spend... hence the inflated spending bills and oftentimes the need to raise the debt limit.

He also started the tax on Social Security.

I already explained. Raising the debt ceiling is not done by executive order.
Firing the controllers was done by executive order.

Did he? You think California would be a battleground state today if Reagan was never president?

Reagan isn’t who everyone thinks he is!
BIG PHARMA
Reagan is the world’s biggest drug dealer & makes Pablo look like small fries!
And the kicker is, he got us all to pay for it, “All” meaning the American Taxpayers for generations and generations.
I read an article that we subsidize over 50% of the entire Global Pharmaceutical Market.
for you low IQ folks on here, aka liberals,
U.S. Tax payers are on the hook for the Federal Reserve’s printing of money or as they say “Quantitative Easing” so we can get the entire world hooked on BIG PHARMA and inject them with Bill Gate’s “Sauce of the Week”!
Plus, Reagan signed off and fakes credit for setting up the “Pharma Court Process”. and divert financial liability to U.S. Tax payers.
the more i think about it, not so much a Raegan fan, And I apologize in advance, i don’t communicate much on the board with fellow Poliboarders, i come here for the trivia and to share what info.
below link about Reagan, he was controlled as well, he just so happened to be the right personality to step into the scene for Global Leadership bs.

IF Biden and the dems wanted to raise the debt ceiling I'm sure all the Trumpkins on this board would be all for it, no?

Andrew Jackson certainly was. He spent his entire life fighting against the Second Bank of United States. He knew that a federally chartered central bank would put the federal government into debt and the people into debt slavery. The U.S. was very prosperous in what was known as the "Free Banking Era" (1837–1863).
