because they care about sane, sensible fiscal policy. None of them care about that. It's just a lie they tell themselves and everyone else. Conservatives vote Republican to screw over everyone they hate, which are anyone not white, conservative and their version of Christian. Even if they suffer as a result as well, they will revel in it, so long as they believe that those they hate are worse off. Republicans will use whatever means to make sure that is true, including fiscal policy.
