Have you ever met a war that wasn't 'essential"? Being a person of schoolyard, pissing match sensibilities, I'd think not.

I do not support government spending that destroys the nation's productivity, however.

Neither do I. Do you support government spending that keeps us out of a depression?

I don't support it if it is not of an essential nature (e.g., funding wars, national defense, national emergencies) and it increases the deficit.

So only wars should increase the deficit? We shouldn't pay for them in real time? Fine "conservative" you are.
