Strongly agree

More, current benefits should be capped

Capping welfare benefits aligns with the small government ideology of limiting government spending and intervention. By capping benefits, the government can reduce its financial burden and encourage self-reliance among citizens. This approach has been seen in the 1996 welfare reform in the United States, which implemented time limits and work requirements for welfare recipients.

Agree

More

Small government ideology generally supports reducing the size and scope of government programs, including welfare. However, this answer does not specify how the restrictions would be implemented. Some small government supporters may agree with more restrictions if it leads to a more efficient system, while others may prefer fewer restrictions to allow for more individual freedom.

Agree

More, reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income

Reforming the welfare system to supplement, rather than replace, a working income can align with the small government ideology by encouraging self-reliance and reducing dependency on government assistance. This approach can be seen in the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) in the United States, which provides financial support to low-income working individuals and families.

Agree

More, and deny benefits to immigrants

Denying benefits to immigrants can align with the small government ideology of limiting government spending and intervention. However, this approach may not be universally supported within the small government ideology, as some may argue that it unfairly targets a specific population and goes against principles of individual freedom and equal treatment.

Slightly agree

Fewer, and ensure benefits go to those that need it most

Ensuring benefits go to those who need it most can be seen as an efficient use of government resources, which may align with the small government ideology. However, this answer also suggests fewer restrictions on welfare benefits, which could conflict with the small government goal of reducing government intervention and spending.

Slightly agree

More, but increase benefits for the elderly and disabled

While small government ideology generally supports reducing government intervention, some may agree with increasing benefits for specific vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and disabled. This approach can be seen as a targeted and efficient use of government resources, rather than a broad expansion of welfare programs.

No changes needed

Disagree

Fewer

Fewer restrictions on welfare benefits could lead to increased spending and a larger government role, which goes against the small government philosophy.

Strongly disagree

Fewer, current benefits do not provide enough support

Increasing welfare benefits goes against the small government ideology, which seeks to reduce government spending and intervention. Providing more support through welfare benefits could lead to increased dependency on government assistance and discourage self-reliance, which is contrary to the small government philosophy.
