How exactly are fiscal conservatives fiscally conservative?
Fiscal conservative: We need to cut from the budget!
Government: OK... How about farm subsidies?
*Moves giant pair of scissors and is about to cut farm subsidies*
Fiscal conservative: No, no, no, no, NO! Something else!
Government: OK... How about abstinence education, millions of dollars to teach kids HIV can be spread through sweat ain't accurate and research has said it's not effective, right?
*Moves giant pair of scissors and is about to cut spending for abstinence education*
Fiscal conservative: No, no, no, no, NO! Something else!
Government: OK... How about defense spending, single biggest part of the budget and we spend more on it than our allies combined, right?
*Moves giant pair of scissors and is about to cut defense spending*
Fiscal conservative: No, no, no, no, NO! Something else!
Government: OK... How about subsidies to oil companies, they are making record profits, so they don't need it, right?
*Moves giant pair of scissors and is about to cut subsidies to oil companies*
Fiscal conservative: No, no, no, no, NO! Something else!
Government: OK... How about tax cuts for the wealthy, costs billions and all they're doing is hoarding the money instead of creating jobs, right?
*Moves giant pair of scissors and is about to cut tax cuts for the wealthy*
Fiscal conservative: No, no, no, no, NO! Something else!
*Government is looking confused now and sweeps over jobless benefits*
Fiscal conservative: That! That!
Government: This? You sure?
Fiscal conservative: Yes, you fool!
Government: Oh... OK.
*Cut*
