Yep. What you say reminds me of the old Fram oil filter commercial from the 1970s (dating myself, aren't I?), with the mechanic stating at the end that "You can pay me now. Or you can pay me later." We all know what that meant. It still holds true today, and in some much more important contexts.

You'd think a so-called 'conservative' party would understand the old saw about an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure. Of course, if the ounce of prevention comes with a microchip to track you when you forget your phone....

Well, as I expect you fully understand, pretty much all of the TradCon values have left the building. No reason to just point out up-front prevention.
Fiscal responsibility?
Personal responsibility?
Respect for law and order?
Free-ish trade?
Restraints on gov't power?
It's pretty amazing that the right is effectively opposed to nearly all traditional conservative values these days.
Not to mention values of personal character like honor, integrity, courtesy, modesty, self-control, or respect.
Excellent. Thanks for remembering that commercial (you brought it back for me too!).
