Yup, being fiscally conservative is just lip service from the GOP. Too many voters are reckless spenders, racking up debt, and then cry when inflation or interest rates go up. What happened to all that stimulus money they received? They blew it on iphones, doordash, random crap, etc. The GOP hates taxes, and since "Taxes are what we pay for a civilized society" of course they're trying to tear it down. Uncivilized disobedience.
You can have simple but wrong solutions and answers to the world or right but complex ones. The former are rewarded far more often because they "feel good" or are "common sense" than the latter
"Read my lips: No new Taxes". Bush, Remember? It was fatal.
And the sad thing is Ol'Bush 1 was right to raise them at the time! But since when has being right ever been rewarded at the ballot box?

Doing the right thing seems to be punished more often than rewarded.

Exactly. Most often the feels are far more important than anything else.
