Conservatives are a contradiction in logic. They say they are pro-life -- but they do not want to take care of that life once it is born.
I am probably the rarest of combinations. I am socially rather conservative, but fiscally somewhat liberal.
Social conservative, fiscal liberal, educational liberal.
I don't believe STDs, teen pregnancies, or even unmarried pregnancies should happen. I don't believe drug-dealing should happen. I think education beginning at the kindergarten level needs to be a top priority for this country. I don't just mean education as in the basics of reading, writing, 'rithmetic. I also mean exposure to different thought systems, to critical thinking, to opportunities for discussion.
I don't see how anyone can realistically expect to be a social conservative if they are not also willing to spend the money it takes to keep society clean and structured. Education costs money. Public schools around the country need to be well-funded so that they can hire good teachers.
Sex education costs money. People need to be told early and often all the information that exists out there for sex education. These programs include tons of information on birth control options, all the different types, and where people can buy the items. Most importantly, these programs inform students of all the documented statistics of success rates for each individual form of birth control. If you have ever seen one of these lists, you will note that no form of birth control is 100% effective. People need to be told this so that they can decide whether it is a good idea to have sex or not. The instructor/teacher who teaches the students about all this needs to be well-trained, well-informed, and needs to be up-to-date on all current forms of birth control in drug stores. The instructor needs to know what they are talking about. Money is needed to pay a good teacher of sex education. If the sex ed teacher is one of the regular teachers, which it usually is, okay then, fine. Pay that teacher.
A police force to contain and prevent crime costs money. Living wages cost money. But to actively avoid investing in these things costs society a hell of a lot more.
This is why I do not mind paying taxes toward public schools. This is why I do not mind -----paying **some** money towards welfare. But only some.
Raising an educated, peaceful, enlightened, mentally stable population costs money.
-Education-- public schools.
--food basic nutrition, milk, cereal, eggs, beans, peanut butter,
There is a social program called Women, Infants, and Children, or WIC for short.
People need a little bit of help once in a while.
--and also, sigh. People are human beings. They might make mistakes. We need a social safety net to absorb any missteps that people make.
Truncate them before they perpetuate any ricochet effects onto the rest of society.
I like investing in people.

The reason I am happy to do this is that I do not want to live in a society that eventually degenerates into a bunch of illiterate savages.

Remember how I said that people need a little bit of help once in a while? I want to emphasize the phrase **Once In A While.**
---I am willing to help you, but you need to stop screwing yourself into a hole first.
