Why do conservatives claim the deficit isn't important but also claim we can't afford universal healthcare?

Question

Is it because conservatives are bloodthirsty warmongers who love to see others suffer and die who aren't white? (Not that there is anything wrong with that).

othe iraq war is costing as nmuch as universal healthcare. The conservatives still backing this useless and needless war are running up the deficit with their greed.

Answer 1

They say anything that exposes their lousy fiscal policies isn't important.

They even try to claim that the US dollar hitting record lows is a good thing. What a joke.

Answer 2

To set the record straight, conservatives want defense against bloodthirsty warmongers. Read the news. The people we are fighting are not exactly a gang of Care Bears.

Universal health care? Are you serious? The government makes way too many decisions for us as it is. I certainly wouldn't want them dictating my health care. I value my privacy and my right so far to make my own decisions regarding my health.

Answer 3

Step back into the world of reality - I have never heard any conservative claim that the deficit isn't important, nor have I ever met a "blood thirsty warmonger" who had their head screwed on straight, democrat or republican.

Answer 4

Being blood thristy war mongers doesn't have anything to do with why they say universal healthcare is unaffordable

Answer 5

conservatives are bloodthirsty warmongers who love to see others suffer and die not a race issue they kill white soldiers
And billionaires of all races benefit from their tax plan

Answer 6

Our gov has ruined everything they have ever touched.

Universal Health care will be the biggest black hole for our money anyone has ever seen and the care will be abysmal when it's at it's best!

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

This is quoted from the American Declaration of Independence!

Government is not reason, it is not eloquence. It is force, and like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.
George Washington

"Corporations have been enthroned .... An era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people... until wealth is aggregated in a few hands ... and the Republic is destroyed."
Abraham Lincoln

"What at first was plunder assumed the softer name of revenue."
Thomas Paine

CAPITAL, n. The seat of misgovernment. That which provides the fire, the pot, the dinner, the table and the knife and fork for the anarchist; the part of the repast that himself supplies is the disgrace before meat.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Politics: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.
Ambrose Bierce

"When ancient opinions and rules of life are taken away, the loss cannot possibly be estimated. From that moment we have no compass to govern us, nor can we know distinctly to what port to steer."
Edmund Burke

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you and may posterity forget that ye were once our countrymen."
Samuel Adams

"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men."
Samuel Adams

We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debt, as we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds… we will have no time to think, no means of calling our miss-managers to account, but we will be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow suffers… And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent foe another… till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery… And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in it’d train wretchedness and oppression.
Thomas Jefferson 1743-1826

"A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicity."
Thomas Jefferson
