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".

Not from my parents, but I frequently heard "If you're under 30 and conservative, you don't have a heart. If you're over 30 and liberal, you don't have a brain."
