Why aren't conservatives conserving?

Question

The deficit has tripled or more under the present regime.

Answer 1

They are conserving their personal wealth.

Answer 2

Because Repuglicans are not what they say they are, they have always been the ones to add pork barrel spending to another bill. George Bush has expanded government larger then any other president in history. At the same time he give tax cuts to the very rich, the top 1% of the people got the most. Go figure a repuglican lies to get into office. He even went so far as to cheat twice to get elected. They just give themselves a $3000 a year raise.

Answer 3

Because President Bush is not a true conservative. He's a "neoconservative." I think in the next election we need to get some true conservatives in there and start abolishing unnecessary government agencies, shrinking the size of government and lowering taxes for everyone.

Answer 4

Were busy conserving the mind of the young with the highest budget ever for education

we are busy conserving the elderly with he highest ever expenditure for social security

we are busy conserving your dumb *** from terrorists.

OK - 2 good moves out of 3 ain't bad.

Answer 5

Because conservatives generally tend to be opposed to economic reform, preferring to concentrate on social and moral reform. It's part of the definition of a conservative.

Answer 6

Because the way of the conservative has changed. They are now Neo Con(victs).

Answer 7

They're to busy screwing you with taxes and BS Here is a better way:
Or for people who are making fun of those who claim everything is about oil. There's also this little fact:

The Alaska state constitution claims common heritage rights of ownership of oil and other minerals for the people of the state as a whole. Citizen dividend checks are distributed every year in Alaska out of the interest payments to an oil royalties deposit account called the Alaska Permanent Fund (APF) created in 1976 after oil was discovered on the North Slope. The APF is a public trust fund - a diversified stock, bond and real estate portfolio - into which are deposited the oil royalties received from the corporations which extract the oil from the lands of Alaska. The first citizen dividend check from the interest of the APF was issued in 1982 and was for $1000 per every person for everyone in Alaska who had resided in the state for at least one year. Annual citizen dividends have been issued every year since then, for a total of more than $23,000 per person.

In 2003, each of the nearly 600,000 Alaska US citizens (residents of Alaska for at least one year) received a check for $1,107 from the APF. The total amount dispersed was $663.2 million. The $25 billion investment fund's core experienced stock market losses which led to the dividend's decline this past year compared to the several previous years. The amount was $433 less, a 28 percent drop from the 2002 pay out of $1,540, and a 44 percent decrease from the all-time high of $1,964 in year 2000. The amount changes based on a five-year average of APF investment income derived from the bonds, stock dividends, real estate and other investments.

Alaska relies on oil for about 80 percent of its revenue and has no sales or income tax. Alaska state government is mandated to invest 25% of its oil revenue into the APF while the other 75% of oil royalty revenue is dispersed to other government funds to finance education, infrastructure and social services. If 100% of Alaska's oil royalties had been deposited into the APF, it is conceivable that the CD this year could have been about $4,400 or $17,600 for a family of four. But then there would have been no funds for roads, education and other public services and no funds available to run the state legislature - a libertarian dream fulfillment or a social and economic disaster, which one we will never know. If state services were to have been maintained while 100% of oil royalties were deposited in the APF, there would of course have been the need for income, sales and other taxes on wages and production.

Democracy, Kuwait Style
Peter Berkowitz



It’s not that the woman question was the only issue faced by voters. From the owner and editor in chief of Kuwait’s largest newspaper, to the chief executive officer of Kuwait Petroleum Company, to the former Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States, our interlocutors argued that the Kuwaiti economy is stagnating and that the remedy is privatization. This is a difficult proposition, however, in a country where 90 to 95 percent of the labor force is employed by the government, which generally pays more than the private sector. And designing institutions to create the right incentives will be difficult in a country whose oil wealth supports a massive welfare state with no taxes that generously funds its citizens’ health, education, and housing needs.

Pollution free electric power has been all over DC. Clinton, Gore, Newt, Sam Nun, DOE, and many other you wouldn’t know.

Clinton “was too busy moving the country forward”
Gore said “I wish you good luck, I’m glad to see other’s are working on our energy problem”
Newt “promised his full support” To sell to Ga. Power for a .01c on the dollar to invent and patent this tech
I have letters from these crumbs saying this!
Sam was to busy with Armed Services he just brushed me off real fast!
Mason Wiggins of the Science, Space, and Technology Subcommittee said “ this appears to be the secret we’ve been looking for” he took it to friends in the DOE. DOE management found it had come in the back door and threw 100% clean electric power 1000 times more electric power than the largest Nuclear plant.

If Alaska pays
Kuwait pays even it’s indirectly after the gulf war losses
Dubai pays

Why can’t your state pay you? With all the resources of the feds why can’t the feds pay 50 times what Alaska pays?

The dems and reps have all the power shouldn’t they have the responsibility for their mismanagement?

VOTE! Vote for anyone as long as they’re not a dem or rep!

If our founding father were alive today. They would lay siege to DC tar and feather ALL the officials and hang them on the steps for all to see the consequences of screwing Americans!!

There must be security for all, or none are secure!
This requires losing no freedoms, only to act responsibly!
