Let's set one myth straight: They don't care where the funding comes from. Nobody asks how we're going to pay for our next F-35's that can't fly. Nobody asks how we're going to pay for yet another war in the middle east nobody asked to get into. They don't ask where funding for tax cuts for CEO's so they can buy three more yacht's come from. Or where we're going to get the money for farm subsidies. But suddenly, it's a problem when we want Universal Healthcare. It's only a problem because it cuts into the purse strings of their corporate buddies who want to buy their 6th yacht. "Fiscal Conservative" is a myth. They don't care where the funding comes from. They care whose funding it cuts into. Namely, their billionaire buddies.

I'm talking about VOTERS. Not representatives or senators or whatever. If voters said "we don't care about the funding, tax us more", then there would be no excuse. But your average voter does not want to hear any argument that touches on the possibility of their taxes rising. They may be annoyed at excess military spending, but not as much as I think you want to hear.
