Born-Again Fiscal Conservative

When a politician abruptly becomes conscious about government spending and the national debt, often occuring after their political party becomes the minority, and thus has less government influence to pass legislation.

Several Republican members of the House of Representatives became born-again fiscal conservatives when Barack Obama became President, after years of wasterful spending.

Socially Liberal, but Fiscally Conservative

A person who wants to appear progressive, but is actually a fascist.

“I’m socially liberal, but fiscally conservative. I care about people but not enough to see them cared for on a systemic level.”

fiscal amnesia

1. when you have a job skill set that is being exploited to a level outside of your pay grade and you conveniently forget how to use that skill set. (commonly occurs when a corporation refuses to acknowledge the exploitation of skill sets they aren't currently paying for but expecting at bottom dollar) See: holding out for more money.
2. when a party wants something that you know but holds out for money feigning to not recall the details. (seen in many movies)

Manager: oh you know how to program Cisco switches but you are an under paid hourly guy. hmm.. how about you go ahead and deploy that new network segment.
Employee: Yea, how about compensation commensurate with that skill set.
Manager: How about you do it or look for other employment.
Employee: Yea, sorry I was mistaken, I am suffering from fiscal amnesia at this point.

"Where is the guy we are looking for?"
"Sorry my memory is a little hazy."
"Does this Franklin change your mind?"
"Well what do you know, I think I remember now.. he is staying in that apartment upstairs at 1549 fourth street... 3b."
