I am a fiscal conservative. Which means: I want my money to go where it makes sense:
Defense? Yes. War? No - Cooperation is more profitable than destroying countries for their resources. Universal Healthcare? Yes. We spend a lot more in healthcare than any other country, yet we get jack. Environment? Yes. Having clean air and clean water is cheaper than treating diseases, and reversing pollution. Food Stamps, WIC, housing assistance, etc.? Yes, people are not productive on an empty stomach. People are not creative when they worry about the roof over their head.
GOP Conservatives say they are conservatives, but they are actually worshipers of billionaires, and haters of the poor. They are okay letting the money accumulate in a few hands so long as "we are not spending money to give handouts". It is not handouts, it is an investment.
Fucker!
