Republicans - Cut Taxes.
Democrats - Raise Taxes.

Republicans - Maintain/Increase Spending.
Democrats - Massive/Mandatory Spending Increases.

Republicans - Pay for spending by borrowing.
Democrats - Pay for spending by raising taxes.

Republicans - accuse the other side of raising taxes - which is true.
Democrats - accuse the other side of deficit spending - which is true.

Which political party will assume the mantel of true fiscal conservation? Which party will be the first to actually cut SPENDING? Are we entering a new era of American politics where socialism is compeltely repudiated by our two-party system? Or will it be more of the same?

Only time will tell.
