We call it "right on values, left on labor," and I have no problem with it.
The "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" rubric never works. The people will either force the government to recognize their values or the government will define values contrary to the people, and fiscal irresponsibility will be at the top of the list.
A people that have yet retained the moral integrity to force government to recognize their moral values, on the other hand, are a people that mean business. They will bind their government with a Constitution and any government or demographic group that tries to screw with them will be quickly dealt with.
Fiscal solvency and responsibility is a natural offshoot and benefit of social conservatism, in life and in government. Debt, waste and destruction are the natural offshoot of social liberalism.
"Socially liberal, fiscally conservative" is straight out of 1984. Put it right next to "War is Peace" and "Freedom is Slavery."
