So now it's fiscally conservative to oppose deficit reduction?

Apparently the Washington Post's Perry Bacon thinks so. Either that, or he somehow missed the fact that the Congressional Budget Office says the Senate health care bill would reduce the deficit:

Arlington, VA: Of all the Senators, only Voinowich of Ohio, a Republican, did not vote. As he voted on other legislation that day, could the non-vote indicate that he might be supportive of the health care bill?

Perry Bacon Jr.: I'm pretty sure he will be a no, he's retiring, but known as a strong fiscal conservative.

Bacon didn't bother to explain why being a “strong fiscal conservative” makes Voinovich likely to vote against legislation that would reduce the deficit.

I'm fine with “fiscally conservative” becoming synonymous with “running up massive deficits” -- that is what conservatives have done for the past few decades. But I doubt that's what Bacon meant. So why does he think a fiscal conservative should vote against deficit-reducing health care reform?
