The article is about FISCAL polciies (that is, government spending and closely related issues of taxation and debt). We should not wander into other areas, like redistribution and regulation. They deserve their own articles. Richard Jensen 15:34, 23 January 2008 (CST)

A few comments or questions on the article:

First, some of the language appears slightly non-neutral in tone. Second, there appears to be an unexplained contradiction.

Later, Bush is derided for not being a fiscal conservative for same. ...said Mike Shor (talk) (Please sign your talk page posts by simply adding four tildes, ~~~~.)
