Liberal social policy has proved more important to me than my conservative fiscal policy, at least this year. Isn't it odd that the politicians who talk of getting the government out of our wallets always seem to want to get the government into our private lives, and the politicians who want to get the government out of our private lives always want to get the government into our wallets? It would seem to me that getting the government out of both would make for rational and consistent policy, but I guess my view isn't common. Of course I question the "fical conservatism" of the current Republican crop; I suspect that what they have in mind is less a reduction in spending than a redirection to a new set of sacred cows. I'll believe that they're serious about cutting spending when they demand the same degree of accountability from the defense and the oxymoronic "Intelligence" budgets that they do from the liberal sacred cows. There is a good deal more welfare money hiding in the defense budget than most of them would like to admit, though "national security" forbids discussion of such matters.
