Oh, I don’t mean I’m opposed to social programs or charity. I feel like those things are the floor for modern society. I mean fiscally conservative in the sense that we should get something of value for our money. Keeping people fed and healthy definitely falls into that category for me, as if people are starving they’ll murder me for my shoes and I’m agin that. 😜

My issue with spending comes down to things like bribing district x with money for a statue so they’ll sign off on a tax break for struggling families and things of that nature.

Of course, I do realize things are always far more complicated than that, but that doesn’t mean that kind of frivolous spending doesn’t occur.
