Balanced Budget

Strongly agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

This answer aligns more closely with the balanced budget ideology, as it suggests increasing military spending only after the deficit is reduced. This implies that the increase in spending would be offset by either cuts in other areas or increased revenue, which is consistent with the goal of maintaining a balanced budget.

Agree

Decrease

Decreasing military spending could help achieve a balanced budget if the government is currently running a deficit. However, proponents of a balanced budget may not necessarily prioritize decreasing military spending over other areas of the budget. The focus is on overall balance, not specifically on reducing military spending.

Slightly agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Being satisfied with the current amount of military spending implies that the budget is already balanced, which may or may not be the case. Proponents of a balanced budget would likely prefer adjustments to spending and revenue to achieve balance, rather than maintaining the status quo if it does not result in a balanced budget.

Neutral

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system is not directly related to the balanced budget ideology. While it could potentially lead to cost-sharing among European countries and reduce individual countries' military spending, it does not specifically address the issue of balancing government spending and revenue.

Disagree

Increase

A balanced budget ideology focuses on maintaining a balance between government spending and revenue. Increasing military spending without a corresponding increase in revenue would likely lead to a budget deficit. However, proponents of a balanced budget may support increased military spending if it is offset by cuts in other areas or increased revenue.
