Answer:
Conservatives believed the government spent money on the wrong programs.
Explanation:
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The complaint about economic issues that was voiced by Conservatives​ was that the federal government was spending too much money in the wrong kind of programs and that put in danger the economic growth of the country. That is why many Americans supported Ronald Reagan instead of Jimmy Carter.
People with conservative beliefs think that the government should not have a large role in the economy, that the US military should remain strong to protect foreign interests, and there should be stiff penalties for offenders who commit violent crimes.
Conservative people in America tend to support family values, the investment in defense to protect the country, they are against raising taxes to increase social programs, they like to limit the regulation of government, they are against abortion and to promote the rights of gay people, they profess Christian religions and do not like immigrants to stay in their country. In the US politics bi-partisan system, the Republican Party is the one that has represented these interests.
