I guarantee you, if you were to remove funding for such things as planned parenthood (abortion) or some other social program intended to alleviate the consequences for poor choices,

those who scream about religious zealots would be complaining that we were “imposing our values” on others.

Do you get it now? You can’t separate the “fiscal” from the “social”. In order to be socially liberal, the consequences for bad behaviors will have to be paid for with social programs.

Let 'em scream. I relish the thought of their howls of anquish as we end social program after social program.

You can’t separate the “fiscal” from the “social”

Sure we can. It's right there in Article 1, Section 8.
