A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Seems like the idea of being fiscally conservative has been absent from parts of the government through both parties' watches. Doesn't validate the method here of a non-elected billionaire having free access to everything. He's hardly going to get the money back to the people, he's just found a quicker route to collect it all for The Club.

It's not like the people in the government didn't know about it. If anyone objected to these programs continuing all they had to do was say something. Seems like a bunch of necessary programs nobody in their right mind would object to.

So you think that governments don't waste your money? Keep on dreaming.

Which of the listed programs do you think is a waste and why?

Looking forward to see US shutting down its veteran's healthcare or the FAA, among others.

That's going to be a show seen from outside.

How much did they give to the Jews to spend on space lasers? I think that summarizes it quite well.

Why aren't more Democrats interested in government spending and just trust the government unconditionally? At least Jon Stewart dares to ask the right questions.

We need these kind of questions all over the world - cut government spending and produce instead of leech.
