The Republican who think they are "smart" are ussually the most naive in my experience.
You have the social conservative who dont think they are smart - they just think they are right.
Then you have the fisscak conservative. These guys think they are smart but ussually they just have a rather short term focus on their own money.
So many Republicans dont realize that haveing a MODEST social safety net makes for a much stronger economy in the LONG run makes the rich even richer. Of course such elements have to be tied in with actually having a job etc.
Dont get me wrong though I am not defending Democrats who never do anything modestly and have a history of voting for social spending to rival Europe.
