Fiscal Conservatism (FisCon) also called Economic Conservatism or Economic Liberalism in Europe and some other regions is an economically right-wing ideology that believes finances of the public body should be responsible and long-term sustainable although not strictly limited.

History

The term dates back to Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal era in the 1930s, when many classical liberals began calling themselves conservatives because they did not want to identify with President Roosevelt's supporters, who called themselves liberals.

In the United States, since the 1930s, the term liberalism is associated with the welfare state and active government intervention in the economy. Fiscal conservatives form one of three parts of the traditional conservative movement that emerged in the 1950s along with social and national conservatism. Many Americans, while classical liberals, also tend to identify as libertarians who combine support for tax cuts and government spending cuts with liberal views on social issues and a rejection of interventionist foreign policies.

Beliefs

Fiscal Conservatism aims to reduce government debt by reducing public spending and avoiding deficit spending. In theory, this can also be accomplished by increasing taxes however Fiscal Conservatives would prefer to decrease spending.

FisCon around the world

In Canada, the UK and other English-speaking countries, FisCon is typically associated with conservative parties. In Germany and other European countries, it is typically associated with classical or economically liberal parties.

Rogernomics

Rogernomics is an economic ideology that originated in New Zealand during the 1980s under finance minister Roger Douglas, and was a form of Fiscal Conservatism. It aimed to reduce government debt and deregulate the economy (which at the time in New Zealand was a welfare state). Unlike most other forms of FisCon however, Rogernomics is a slightly socially progressive ideology.

Personality and Behavior

Basically, very responsible when it comes to spending.

May act like Jon from "Garfielf".
