Can someone please point me to the last "Fiscally Conservative" Republican Government?

Saw this in another thread, and thought; "Man, what a great 'effing' question".

It just illustrates how if you repeat a lie often enough, a minority of those who voted on election night in certain states would elect an orange orangutan as president.

"Fiscally Conservative"
"Smaller, Leaner Gubmint"
"Family Values"
"Free-Dumb"

If people actually wanted a government that responds to them, works to make their lives better...AND reduced the deficit and improved Middle Class wages...Democrats would win everytime

Trump economically reminds me of Hurting and Coolidge. Very bad news for the poor and people that are hurting.
