It has been observed that individual fiscal prudence is correlated with wealth accumulation, not that it is required for it. If you earn enough money, it becomes increasingly challenging to avoid accumulating some wealth. Republicans represent the middle class, and their strivings for accumulated wealth, they also represent those who have achieved some degree of success. Democrats represent the extravagantly wealthy, many of those can be described as those who earn so much that wealth accumulation is difficult to avoid. Hollywood type would fit this description. Many of the Republican middle class hope for wealth but have no plan for its accumulation. These people spend as much as they earn, and often more. Does this sound like government to you too? This is a long-winded way of saying that I agree with you. Some states have Constitutions, which prohibit budgets in excess of revenues. It makes government spending to stimulate the economy difficult. In times of budgetary shortfall, it helps to re-shrink government to a more manageable size. There is nothing like crisis to restore order.
