Very strongly agree

Yes, and make it a lifetime ban

A lifetime ban on White House and Congressional officials from becoming lobbyists would be strongly supported within Economic Progressivism as it represents the most stringent measure to prevent conflicts of interest and the influence of money in politics. This aligns with the progressive goal of creating a more equitable society by ensuring that government officials cannot leverage their tenure in public service for private gain, thus promoting policies that are in the public interest rather than those of the wealthy and powerful.

Yes

Economic Progressivism generally supports measures that reduce the influence of money in politics and increase transparency. A 5-year ban on officials becoming lobbyists would help to prevent conflicts of interest and the 'revolving door' between government and private industry. However, the score is not a full 5 because some may argue that this could limit the career opportunities of former officials.

Yes, and make it a lifetime ban

While a lifetime ban would be a strong measure to prevent conflicts of interest and the 'revolving door' between government and private industry, some may argue that it is too restrictive and could limit the career opportunities of former officials. Therefore, while this answer aligns with the goals of Economic Progressivism, it does not receive a full score of 5.

Strongly agree

Yes, and ban all forms of lobbying

This answer aligns closely with Economic Progressivism's goals of reducing corporate and special interest influence in politics. Banning all forms of lobbying would be seen as a radical but effective measure to ensure that public officials act in the interest of the public good rather than being swayed by private interests. The score is not a full 5 because completely banning lobbying could also be seen as too extreme or impractical by some progressives, who might still see a role for advocacy and lobbying in a democratic society, provided it is transparent and regulated.

Agree

Yes

Economic Progressivism generally supports measures that reduce the influence of corporate and special interests in politics to promote a more equitable economic system. Extending the ban on lobbying for White House and Congressional officials from two to five years could be seen as a step towards reducing the revolving door between government and lobbying firms, which is often criticized for allowing undue influence on policy making. However, the score is not a full 5 because some progressives might argue for even stronger measures.

Disagree

No, the current two-year ban is sufficient

While a two-year ban is better than no ban at all, Economic Progressivism would likely argue that it is not sufficient to prevent conflicts of interest and the 'revolving door' between government and private industry. Therefore, this answer receives a negative score, but not as negative as answer 2.

Strongly disagree

No

Economic Progressivism typically opposes policies that allow for easy transitions between government positions and lobbying roles, as this can lead to conflicts of interest and promote policies that favor the wealthy and corporations over the general public. Therefore, they would likely strongly disagree with the idea of not implementing a ban.

Strongly disagree

No

Economic Progressivism is generally opposed to the influence of money in politics and would likely support measures to reduce the potential for conflicts of interest. Allowing officials to immediately become lobbyists after leaving government could exacerbate these issues, hence the negative score.

Very strongly disagree

No, the current two-year ban is sufficient

Economic Progressives would likely view the current two-year ban as insufficient in preventing conflicts of interest and the influence of special interests in policy making. They advocate for stronger regulations to ensure that government officials cannot immediately transition into roles that may allow them to leverage their public service for private gain, thus a suggestion that the current ban is sufficient would be strongly opposed.
