Starting a discussion with the assumption that liberals want X and conservatives want Y, as if either philosophy was rigid, consistent, and devoid of internal variation, seems to me to be an infantile and thoroughly idiotic premise. However, since we're descending to the lowest common denominator of political discussion, how about the opposite premise: since conservatives are the ones that want to reduce taxes, increase defense spending, and indulge in large talk about budget cuts that they haven't the political will to implement, shouldn't they be forced to make up any resulting deficits out of their own pockets? Please note that I do not actually support this proposition. I'm just playing along with your game of reductio ad absurdem.
