I used to say that a lot too, but then over time I began to revisit what “fiscal conservatism” was — a budget is a moral document of what a society’s priorities are and what public resources or baselines it believes are worth maintaining and investing in.

Money is, in a real sense, crystallized power; and social policy is, in some sense, explicitly about correcting for market failure caused by power differentials between people and groups, isn't it? Or maybe I'm showing my political colours by thinking that.

(you wrote it better, obv.; all I'm stumbling to articulate here is that I'm kind of horrified that anyone *with* power is blind to the idea that social power can be decoupled from its primary force-carrying particle)

Growth story of China vs. US proves that they are not the same. Both achieved economic prosperity under vastly different social policies
