Left wing economics has been in practice more fiscally conservative than right wing economics. The right wing trickle down theory requires people to take more and more debt to create an illusion of prosperity and an illusion that their ideas are working. Left wing economics on the other hand has been non existent in the past 30 years or so.
... Also, no, the GOP does not need Hispanics as long as they have a Dem incumbent and a bad economy. Bush was right to court Hispanics, but that was because he needed them. Republicans today don't need Hispanics to win. Some Hispanics will naturally switch to the GOP due to the economy, many more simply won't show up at the polls. If and when the Hispanic vote again becomes decisive, then the GOP will either reach out to them or lose [by definition of my scenario]. But right now they don't need to.
