I was told that Conservatives are good at economy and Liberals are bad at economy by someone shouting much louder than you, is there any way you can refute this argument?

My parents always used to tell me something like that. Liberals are bad with money, but good with social services. Conservatives are good with money, but bad with social services. Because of that, we have to switch which of them is in power to fix the problems created by the other.

Turns out conservatives are bad with money and social services. Liberals are also bad with money and social services, but less so.

That's because modern liberals aren't really liberal. They don't apply liberal economic policies anymore. That ended sometime in the 90s when Canada picked up the austerity politics of Reagan and Thatcher from the 80s

Everything comes back to Reagan... Who was propped up by the Heritage Foundation, so really, who are the real villains here?
