Because many today need a repeat of 1970s inflation in order to learn the hard way.
notice how everyone stays quiet until there’s a fire on their front porch
“Fiscal conservatives” in Washington spent the last 20+ years destroying their credibility.
When things aren't going well, and chaos has entered the fray, spending money to fix your life's problems only hastens ruin.
Scaling back. Drive efficiencies. Reduce overheads and discretionary spending. Put off large purchases for better more organized times. Pay down your current obligations.
But our friends who chose different suffered the consequences for most likely the rest of their lives.
3.5 trillion is a number that no one can really comprehend.
The dopes who answer that they favor it cannot name 5 things in the bill.
It doesn’t matter what they answer. This poll is an attempt to put pressure on the snake Manchin to up his $1.5 trillion limit, another number no human can comprehend.
What fiscal conservatives?
As long as there is a war on fossil fuels, we will be in an economic downturn. Fossil fuels drives our economy. Unfortunately, the crap they are teaching in schools and universities will not be helpful. Instead of higher learning, they will be focused on self esteem.
Joe xiden is taking the USA full Venezuela. Winter is going to kill off a lot of the stupid. The smarter folks will take a lesson from that.
Nobody wants social liberalism. Nobody wants fiscal conservatism.
Funny, isn't it, that with the "two major parties" you can't ever get what you want, which is social conservatism enforced by a muscular state which provides a counterforce to finance capitalism by regulating the economy to favor jobs and production?
What you get instead is a shadow play of mortal combat between two "opponents" who actually succeed by their "battles" in delivering social liberalism and a money system based on usury.
Why do you suppose that is?
Fiscal conservative = A person that loves income taxes and hates import tariffs.
“Conservatives” and “Communists” have symbiotic relationship.
“3.5 trillion is a number that no one can really comprehend.”
BINGO!!!
If you told the average voter...
The US govt takes in $3.5 trillion dollars in taxes/fees
The gov’t must pay $1 trillion dollars/year interest on borrowed money
Another $1.5 trillion on mandatory spending, SS, Medicare/caid, etc
Another $1.7 trillion on FedGov
That leaves us a deficit of $0.2 trillion
Can we afford to borrow another $3.5 trillion?
The number of people saying yes would drop through the floor.
It would be better yet if someone broke those figures down into something even the low info voter could comprehend, a classic family budget. Disseminate widely and watch heads explode.
2018 - Newsom wins Governor race with 61.9%.
2021 - Newsom wins Recall Election with 61.9% and increases his popular vote by 200,000.
Bottom Line...
The Political Left will NEVER vote for a Conservative, no matter how bad the economy and crime might be.
What you describe is a symptom of the problem, not a cause.
Conservatives will eventually agree to just about anything, if it prolongs their comfort.
Many predict that if these huge spending bills could be passed, then the midterm prospects for President Joe Biden and his party would look much brighter. Will Saletan at Slate tweeted for the optimists: "Soon the infrastructure and reconciliation bills will pass. A year from now, COVID will be largely under control, supply chains will be restored, and the Afghan collapse will be forgotten." ...In early September, the ABC News/Washington Post pollsters asked, "From what you've heard or read about it, do you support or oppose the federal government spending three and a half trillion dollars on new or expanded social programs, educational assistance, and programs to address climate change?"
