I'm not sure that such a thing really exists in America anymore. At one time, conservatives usually were aligned with the old maxim, "That government is best which governs least". Today, most of those who identify as conservative have no problem at all with government using its powers for all kinds of things that they feel are appropriate (guns, abortion, immigration, etc.). They also have no issue with using government power to try to impose their views on a variety of social issues on other people (LGBTQ rights, racial equality, women's rights, etc.). Conservatives at one time were adverse to profligate government spending and insistent that budgets be balanced. Check out how the deficit rose under Republican administrations to see how well that has played out. http://goliards.us/adelphi/deficits/ So, I guess you'd better define your terms as to what it means to be a conservative.
Like it or don't, Trump started the current inflationary mess. Biden just doubled down on it. And if you wanna play that game, Republicans are the ones doing everything they can to ignite the next Civil War. They'd rather destroy the country entirely than live in an actual democracy.....
This current inflationary mess started back in 2008 with TARP and QE. Kicking the can down the road just got us to where we are now.
Absolutely. Anytime there was any issues, the FED would buy more bonds, print more money, or keep the rates low when they shouldn't have. We bailed out the banks when they should have been allowed to fail. Then we bailed out small businesses while we forced them to be shut down. Then we sent everyone stimulus checks multiple times. All resulted in inflation. This has been brewing since 2008, its not even as bad as its going to get.
