How to use "Conservatively" in context?
"conservatively" is an oft-used word in the US political discourse. It's used to describe a person or political party that wants to achieve principal goals while taking care to avoid large risks. The definition implies moderation and caution, but what does that mean in practice?
In practice, "conservatively" often means "safely." For instance, when a politician says they want to "address the fiscal debt crisis," they're likely referring to cuts in government spending, rather than raising taxes.
