Fiscally Conservative Dummycrats

Of course it's an OXYMORON!

More MORON than Oxy.

The Ragister had this observation regarding Polk County Supervisor Candidates Gene Phillips and John Mauro....

Both are fiscal conservatives by Democratic standards.

Chester Culver said in Saturday's Gubernatorial Debate that he was a fiscal conservative.

I was pondering that and then I checked Krusty Konservative's blog and he was able to put it in perspective for me.

Here's what that will mean for us REAL taxpayers....

$187 million to Expand Drug Coverage for Seniors with Multiple Prescriptions
$170 Million for Teacher Pay Raise
$150 million to Expand HAWK-I for parents of eligible children
$120 million for New Prison at Fort Madison
