Your idea that conservatives generally are against government waste is an issue that I think conservatives are right on. Whether they've ever implemented it well (like you mentioned), or whether they apply it sanely (like military vs. healthcare)... None of that matters since I was talking about the issue itself. So, I think this is an almost unanimously held conservative belief that is correct.
I was originally going to take issue with some of your other points (and had actually written quite a few things), but the challenge was to give me one issue that conservatives are correct, and you've done that.
Thanks. It's hard because there's what conservatives say vs. what they do. They always talk about being the financially responsible side, and lowering the debt. But, when they actually govern what they tend to do is lower taxes and not touch spending causing the debt to balloon. So, they identified an actual problem, but they never actually solve it.
That and trying to figure out what is actually a conservative view these days makes it really hard to pin down anything they're correct on. But, I tried.
