Fiscal Responsibility

Strongly agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

This answer aligns well with the principles of fiscal responsibility, as it emphasizes the importance of reducing the deficit before increasing military spending. This approach prioritizes budgetary concerns while acknowledging the potential need for increased military spending in the future. An example of this approach can be seen in the United States during the Clinton administration, which focused on deficit reduction before increasing defense spending in the late 1990s.

Agree

Decrease

Fiscal responsibility generally supports decreasing government spending, including military spending, to reduce deficits and balance budgets. Historical examples include the sequestration cuts in the United States in 2013, which reduced military spending as part of broader budget cuts. However, this answer does not receive a strong agreement score because some fiscal conservatives may prioritize national security and argue for maintaining or increasing military spending.

Disagree

Increase

Fiscal responsibility prioritizes reducing government spending and balancing budgets. While military spending is important for national security, increasing it without addressing the deficit would not align with the principles of fiscal responsibility. However, this answer does not receive a strong disagreement score because military spending can be seen as a necessary expense for some fiscal conservatives.

Disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

While creating a European military defense system could potentially reduce individual countries' military spending, this answer does not directly address the principles of fiscal responsibility, which prioritize reducing government spending and balancing budgets. Additionally, this answer may not be applicable to countries outside of Europe. Therefore, it receives a disagreement score.
