We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

"the left" has no default response to any costs saving.
"Noooooooo" as a reply comes only when a destruction of the modern state is acted masking it as "cost saving".
It's like a doctor prescribing suicide to solve a patient illness. It works, the illness is gone, but the patient is not feeling well afterwards.
But this is too much of a complex reasoning for a libertarian to understand, I get that. Oh well, back to you play-doh eating contest you go
Sorry, I didn't realize that funding musicals in Ireland was core to the functioning of the American government. My bad!
/s in case you couldn't tell.
It's called soft power. Basically an investment in presenting the best part of your culture to others hoping that it will attract people to your ideals and idea of society to ease collaboration with other peoples.
But you do understand the reasoning behind such an investment with your superior intellect, I'm sure.
And I'm also sure that you do understand that where an investment is missing others will provide that investment. Promoting their culture in lieu of others.
I'm putting /s explicitly because I'm not sure you'd get my sarcasm, I don't think you could understand these subtle reasonings
And how, pray tell, does funding a Musical in Ireland accomplish that?
