    “fiscal responsibility” never really existed from a government standpoint, macroeconomics has never made that much sense, but I’ll grant that “avoid deficit spending” could be the one conservative claimed trait that, while they don’t actually do, could be said to meet a definition of conservative. The other two are neither things they’ve ever been, nor things that the word means, so I think it’s straight propaganda that they’d ever be associated with those.
