There's some broken nonsense in conservative world views.
Perhaps chief among them (no pun intended) is the idea that hierarchy is good and natural and inevitable. Flowing from that there's the idea that different rules apply to different people. And the famous "in groups to protect, out groups to bind" thing.
So things like welfare are abhorrent to them. That's messing with the hierarchy! Some people need to be down in the gutter. Without the underclass, then everything falls apart and all their auffering was for nothing, and their sense of self can't handle that.
That's like several months of food. Or years worth of video games. That's so expensive. Even if I was a big fan of the sport, I wouldn't be able to justify spending that.
