		Then there is the oldie but goodie, “I would rather spend $5,000 a year educating that Texan, rather than $15,000 a year incarcerating that Texan”, a reference to her oh so fiscally conservative plan to provide two years of free post-high school education to every resident of the Lone Star State.
		So to follow up all of these catch phrases with the summative “I am a fiscal conservative” is quite astonishing, as it belies everything she has just delivered or railed against in her speech up unto that point.
		This fiscal conservatism, practiced by Perry and scorned by Strayhorn, was a huge part of the budgetary transformation of a $10 billion shortfall in 2003 to a $6.4 billion surplus this year.

	WEBCommentary(tm) - To Cut or Not to Cut - the Fiscal Conservative Question (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Fiscal conservatives have cluttered their message of safeguarding taxpayer money and responsibly restraining government with a high tolerance for borrowing and public debt.
		Many voters no longer see the distinction between conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats as a debate over whether they will be allowed to keep what they earn; instead, it is seen as a semantic argument between the Democrats’ tax-and-spend versus the GOP’s borrow-and-spend.
		Indeed, economic conservatives were a less important part of Bush’s reelection than conservatives concerned about moral issues or anti-American terrorism.

		He is a serious, courageous and committed conservative -- in fact, the most conservative chief executive in America.
