edit: I've been hearing this thing alot lately about some people being socially liberal but fiscally consevative.
With that said which states, cities,or regions belong in this category?
im guessing texas is one...
Sorry, I don't see TX as being socially liberal...
Without knowing all the details, I would guess that Oregon and Washington might qualify, perhaps Maine; Vermont also has a reputation of voting Dem in Pres elections, but voting GOP for the governorship...
New Hampshire is the closest I can think of. Although the question often comes up since it is less agreed upon than differences in social issues, but what would make an area exactly fiscally liberal/conservative? Also from what I have seen may areas in terms of social issues are more along the line of it isn't that important so it really isn't either since its not on the line.
Vermont is not really fiscally conservative. Somewhat, but Vermont also elected a socialist. Maine, a little more so but with Maine it's more typical conservative and typical liberal balancing each other out. I feel like people who are fiscally conservative in Maine are also socially conservative. With New Hampshire, you get open-mindedness + yankee independence, and i'm not talking about the "free state" nutjobs, just average people.
The following ranks the people of states by fiscal and social views. Coloradans look to be about the most fiscally conservative to be a bit socially liberal. Others in that quadrant are (perhaps surprisingly) Minnesota, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Going by what I've heard on my own, combined with this, I'd go Colorado and Nevada along with maybe some suburbs in Southern California. New Hampshire is reportedly moving away from that, but I think some of their counties still fit.
Sometimes the two go hand and hand. California is an example of applying social liberalism into fiscal policy and then not being able to fulfill the mandates to help people. This predicament is especially evident during recessions such as we are currently experiencing.
