Protectionism

Agree

Yes, and increase government funding so every student receives a free college education

While protectionism is primarily focused on trade policies and protecting domestic industries, some protectionists may see free college education as a way to invest in the domestic workforce and improve the competitiveness of domestic industries. However, this is not a central tenet of protectionism, so the score is somewhat positive but not strongly agree.

Neutral

No, but we should still reduce interest rates for student loans

Protectionism does not have a clear stance on student loan interest rates, as its primary focus is on trade policies and protecting domestic industries. Reducing interest rates for student loans may be seen as a positive step by some protectionists, but it is not a core issue for the ideology. Therefore, the score is neutral.

Slightly disagree

Disagree

No, and transition all current government student loans into privately managed accounts

Protectionism is more concerned with trade policies and protecting domestic industries than with privatizing government services. While some protectionists may support privatizing student loans, it is not a core tenet of the ideology. Therefore, the score is somewhat negative but not strongly disagree.
