According to conservative philosophy, you should "help your own damn self" and "pull yourself up by you boot straps." And it's your own fault anyway for being cheap and lazy and not maintaining your vehicle. Besides, according to conservatives, Al Queda is running amok, (hell they just had a member elected POTUS) and that overheated minivan of yours with the fish emblem and yellow ribbon magnet just might be a roadside bomb...at least according to conservatives.
