"fiscal responsibility" and railing about public money are usually just ruses used by people pushing a political agenda.
I've had countless discussions with people who want to spend billions on sports stadiums and the military but then scream endlessly about "big government" when it comes to the arts and education.
They'll bail out wall street at the drop of a hat and then shrug with big eyes, "where's the money going to come from" when someone brings up say, having an anthropology department at UCLA.
It's an obvious bullshit game of a political project masquerading as virtue that you'd have to be a toddler to fall for. I don't care.
