View original postBut briefly, the Federal payroll was larger when Reagan left office in 1989 than it was when he took office in January 1981. As was the deficit. His tax cuts were not coupled with reduced spending, so when he had no choice but to increase taxes, his tax increases were proportionately the largest in history, up until that time. Conservative fiscal policy is all about reducing taxes and the bloated size of government with its associated spending. Reagan and the Bushes did one but not the other.
So by those standards, has there ever been any conservative president, if even Reagan wasn't one? It sounds like you're making the word 'conservative' into some sort of near-mythical title which real-world politicians can strive towards but never or almost never actually obtain. Which is pretty absurd when the commonly used sense of the word covers between one third and half of the entire American political spectrum. And when Reagan is praised almost to the point of worship by most people and entities who describe themselves as conservatives.

That's fine, I don't think there would be any point to it, anyway.
AOC on paid family leave makes what she thinks is a brilliant point.

He could have vetoed the aid, see. So it was ok to secretly withhold it.
