Yes Josh but I’ve been surprised by the response to recent foreign aid requests.

I’ve railed against it for years but few cared

Now it seems people care. It’s a good thing I believe.

Conservatives have always been about the pocket book.

Mostly it's populist "spend it on me (my town, etc.)."

We need to get rid of this façade of the gov't taking care of us domestically (which is about 10% efficient at best, and more often counterproductive).

#1 priority of the Fed gov't should be preserving our freedoms, #2 (as a part of #1) defending the country (which includes our borders & working with allies), every citizen gets an equal and fair chance, and otherwise mostly just get the gov't the hell out of the way. THAT is conservatism.
