When was ANY party fiscally conservative after about 1820?


If you mean major party, Cleveland (Grover, not Ohio) Democrats in 1890s.
If you mean any party at all, there are fiscally conservative parties today,
they just can't get their candidates elected.



Because they're not "mainstream", I guess. Of course, if libertarians
were mainstream, we wouldn't have these problems in the first place,
regardless of who was in power.


If Congress and the President adhered to the Constitution it wouldn't make a
lot of difference which party was in power.
