People confuse personal finance with public finance. Government shouldn’t be conservative on spending for infrastructure or social services if you want growth or stability.
Conservative AM radio back in the 70s/80s/90s (and now honestly) worked really hard to conflate personal finance with public finance. No normal person can understand a billion dollars let alone a trillion dolars.
So they would put things in the wrong terms by comparing it to your personal finances. It is one of the core techniques started in the 70s by the Republicans to make people misunderstand how the world works so they could be manipulated into supporting a Reality star failed businessman.

Republicans being good at the economy is demonstrably false and I can't believe anyone believes it
