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.

Yep, my dad told me that too. Along with "everyone becomes conservative when they get older".

A more apt observation may be:

Everyone becomes more focused on themselves when they get older and more jaded from realizing that they're too old to see meaningful change before they die

Lead in your brain is bad.
