Can anyone explain how this waste of taxpayer dollars is "conservative"?

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

The American definition of conservative and liberal stopped following fiscal policies decades ago, with both major parties. It only refers to some social aspects now, and even that's a stretch at times.
