Put a number on it, conservatives. Where are the right-wing proposals for GDP alternatives? What’s curious is that despite the political success of right-wingers who want to prioritise other things over economic growth, they haven’t done much in the way of coming up with ways to measure it.

The flaw with conservatives is that almost by definition, they with to preserve how it is or how it recently was.

Was raised in a conservative household and was surrounded almost entirely by the same. Son of a Marine Drill Instructor. But before my teens, I started thinking about the words people were using. Everybody would talk the talk, but nobody walked the walk. But being a friendly guy, I'll ask for your forgiveness if I misunderstand your terminology. That plus, please define your terms. Defining of terms settles many disagreements. I'm all ears, and I thank you in advance for taking time to correct me in my obvious errors.
