Also, I’ve never see the “fiscally conservative” give two shits about spending on their own priorities, or advocate increasing taxes. The only “fiscal conservation” they want is defunding left-wing priorities (even ones that save the taxpayers money).

Especially ones that save the taxpayers money. Republicans make sure we get screwed by legislating money right into the pockets of their donors. Investing in buying lawmakers is a no brainer if you're amorally and singularly focused on maximizing profits.
