Default Re: Conservative or Liberal

[ QUOTE ]
I think this example defies those terms.

Reason: you can be either one and do either type of thing.

Example: President X could easily be President Bush with the balanced budget amendment, but President Y could easily be President Reagan, running the deficit through the roof. Both were/are conservative. See also President Clinton and the economic prosperity during his tenure, and President Carter and the recession during his...both are liberal.

Just as the quarterback of a football team gets too much credit for the team's wins and losses, so does the president for economic prosperity or despair.
