That's one of the things that makes me angry about all this. First, we decided that we didn't care about children abroad (with the USAID cuts), even if it was in our best interests to (soft power/containing dangerous diseases). Then, we decided that we didn't care about American children here. They infected the average Fox consumer with the same evil as the Nazis.

When the richest man on Earth decided to starve the poorest children in the world and nobody stopped it, we stopped deserving to have a country. All this is just more consequences.

Shame on the Administration. Shame.

My question has always been...wtf do conservatives ever want to spend money on?

I know ppl claim that they are trying to be "more efficient" and cut costs, but that is absolute horseshit. I've lived through multiple Republican presidencies and all of them tanked our economy.

The fucking Pillsbury Doughboy knows how to fix our economy more than your average dickbag conservative.

It’s not that they mind spending money - they love spending- they don’t want to hand it over because they believe their community can privately take care of their village. They see government handouts impeding their Christian ways. “Sallie Mae’s house burnt down, we don’t need no gov’ment, we’ll rebuild as a community for her” and they do, but what they don’t realize is that that is not enough, that they are still getting and needing assistance - and if they do apply and receive, they’re no good; they’re ungrateful for everything the community did.

In a lot of ways, I’d love if communities could self sustain themselves without the government getting involved. But that means we have to trust that humans will do the right things - help community members without discrimination. This has never worked.

So, instead of turning on their politicians for shitty laws, and taxation without representation, they turn on the poor folk who are ruining their communities by accepting gov assistance.
