Conservative fiscal principles do not include telling private business and private owners who they are allowed to sell their products to.

LOL. So we should take off all controls over selling defense technology to whatever country will buy it? So conservative principles do not agree with placing sanctions on countries like NK, Iran, Cuba, etc. banning sales of goods to them? When do national strategic interests trump the "rights" of private businesses? Should we allow businesses to decide how many foreign workers they import? Why have any controls over H-1B and H-2B visas?

I agree there was sellouts by the conservatives, but this wasn't an example of them. The extension of the wind and solar subsidies were.

Sorry, but you can't pick and choose what is and is not a sellout. The Omnibus bill must be viewed as a whole. Overall, it is an unmitigated disaster and it will pass with the help of the Dems. The Uniparty rules.

Defense technology is not commodities sold by dozens of countries across the world.

Apples and oranges.

BS! Every action and line item is not an automatic sellout.

Less government interference and regulations for private business is a conservative value. Smaller government, not more government.
