Vice Presidential Picks and the Art of War

By fiscally conservative I mean not spending more than we can realistically afford. Which we always seem to be doing under Republicans and Democrats. I would love to have all the social programs we can, but I believe we have to spend only as much as we can pay for. We need to prioritize our programs and not keep going deeper and deeper into debt. I don't want a tax and spend mentality in the White House or the Congress.

I don't run up debt I can't pay and I don't think the government should either. I know there will always be extenuating circumstances that will call for debt, but it should not become a way of life, like it has for so many people and apparently the government, too.
