'''Fiscal conservatism''' is a political position (primarily in the [[United States]]) that calls for lower levels of public spending, lower [[taxes]] and lower [[national debt|government debt]]. It is a variety of [[Conservative|conservatism]] concerned with [[economic]] rather than social issues. Fiscal conservatives oppose unnecessary government expenditures, [[deficit]]s, and government debt. They take the perspective of the present and future taxpayers, and worry about the possible burden on them. They support [[balanced budget]]s. This should be contrasted with those who believe that lower taxation will stimulate industrial development, even though it causes higher deficits.
Fiscal conservatives advocate the avoidance of deficit spending, the lowering of taxes, and the reduction of overall government spending and national debt whilst ensuring balanced budgets.
