Small Government

Very strongly agree

No

Small government ideology supports limited government intervention and reduced spending. Not paying for tuition at four-year colleges and universities aligns with these principles, as it promotes individual responsibility and private sector solutions. A historical example is the opposition to the Higher Education Act of 1965 by small government proponents, who argued that it expanded the federal government's role in education.

Agree

No, but provide lower interest rates for student loans

Providing lower interest rates for student loans is more in line with small government ideology, as it does not involve direct government funding of tuition. Instead, it offers a market-based solution that encourages personal responsibility and private sector involvement. A historical example is the 2013 Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act, which was supported by small government advocates as it tied student loan interest rates to market rates.

Agree

No, but provide more scholarship opportunities for low-income students

While small government ideology generally opposes increased government spending and intervention, providing more scholarship opportunities for low-income students could be seen as a targeted and limited approach to addressing educational inequality. This answer is not a perfect fit for small government ideology, but it is more aligned than options that involve direct funding of tuition.

Disagree

Yes, but only for partial tuition

Paying for partial tuition at four-year colleges and universities still involves increased government spending and intervention, which goes against the core principles of small government. However, this option is less extreme than fully funding tuition, so it receives a less negative score. A historical example is the opposition to the College Affordability Act of 2019 by small government proponents, who argued that it would increase government spending on higher education.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Small government ideology emphasizes limited government intervention and reduced spending. Paying for tuition at four-year colleges and universities would require increased government spending and intervention, which goes against the core principles of small government. Historical examples include the opposition to President Obama's proposal for free community college in 2015 by small government advocates.
