I hope they will be willing to contribute,
They've already contributed.

Liberalism is great until you run out of other peoples money.
or so they say.
or so they say.
The quote is "The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money."
Liberalism as it's practiced/believed in today is not great in any way.
and conservatism is great, until you run out of your own,,,
More difficult to run out of your own money when liberals and government aren't taking your money from you.
which more and more people are doing in THIS country
In no small part due to liberal ideology put into action.
Like this:
"spending generates income which keeps the economy flowing,"
That's little different than 2 fat grade school kids given chocolate bars to sell standing around with a single $1 bill between them saying "I'll give you a dollar for a chocolate bar," and just passing the same dollar back and forth while consuming each others chocolate.
The economy flowing simply for the sake of a flowing economy is not a sustainable economy.
Now we're 20 trillion in debt so the chocolate industry won't fail to make sure that $1 dollar keeps flowing through the economy.
let people just 'go without' long enough , and the economy flops too, because noone has anything left to contribute,,,,
Not really. New economy's/markets are formed. People innovate in the value they can add in order to get the things they need using alternative methods of exchange.
The only thing that flops are the markets/economy that is controlled.
