    You’re forgiven. When I was young, I genuinely thought “fiscally conservative” was a logical position until all the would-be fascists starting going mask-off.

      I’m a fiscal conservative. I think the government should guarantee free healthcare for all in order to reduce federal healthcare expenses. And the government should give everyone who needs it free housing, because otherwise unemployment and disability pay for tenants is just going to be funding landlords on our tax dollar. And it’s definitely not fiscally responsible to let the bourgeois own the means of production and exploit the workers, so we should seize them to save money.
