I'm not sure there is ever a permanent fix when applying either Liberal or Conservative policies to any given societal problem. I think Liberalism lends itself more to an evolutionary fix whereas Conservatism stays the course though.
the thing is, we need to take the best from each to keep our country going. Conservatism gives us responsibility and discipline. Liberalism gives us the vision of a brighter future where everyone shares in the fun. Unfortunately, basic human behavior puts these two at odds yet one without the other doesn't really work on its own.
