Market Fundamentalism

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

This answer aligns with the Market Fundamentalism belief in fiscal responsibility and minimal government spending. They would likely support an increase in military spending only after the deficit is reduced, as this would be seen as a more responsible use of government funds.

Agree

Decrease

Market fundamentalists might support decreasing military spending as it aligns with their preference for smaller government and lower taxes. Reducing military expenditure could free up resources for the private sector and reduce the need for government borrowing, which market fundamentalists argue would lead to a more efficient allocation of resources. However, the score is moderate because some market fundamentalists might argue that a certain level of military spending is necessary for national security, which is a prerequisite for a functioning market.

Agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Market Fundamentalism might be satisfied with the current level of military spending, as long as it is not seen as excessive government intervention in the economy. However, they would likely support changes if market forces indicated they were necessary.

Slightly agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

This answer might resonate with market fundamentalists to some extent because it acknowledges the importance of fiscal responsibility by suggesting an increase in military spending only after reducing the deficit. Market fundamentalists emphasize the dangers of high government debt, which can lead to higher taxes and inflation, potentially distorting market operations. However, the idea of increasing spending, even with a caveat, might not fully align with the market fundamentalist preference for smaller government.

Neutral

Decrease

While Market Fundamentalism does not inherently support a decrease in military spending, they do believe in minimal government spending. Therefore, they might support a decrease if it was seen as a way to reduce government intervention in the economy.

Neutral

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Market fundamentalism does not have a clear stance on maintaining the current level of military spending as it would depend on whether the current spending is viewed as efficient and necessary for national defense. If the current spending is deemed excessive, market fundamentalists would likely advocate for a decrease. Conversely, if the spending is seen as insufficient for national security, they might support an increase. This answer is neutral because it depends on the context of the current spending relative to perceived threats and economic conditions.

Disagree

Increase

Market Fundamentalism believes in minimal government intervention in all sectors, including defense. While they do not necessarily advocate for a decrease in military spending, they would not typically support an increase unless it was justified by market forces or a clear and present threat.

Disagree

Increase

Market fundamentalism emphasizes minimal government intervention in markets, suggesting that resources should be allocated by market forces rather than government decisions. Increasing military spending typically requires higher taxes or more government debt, both of which market fundamentalists generally oppose unless absolutely necessary for national defense. However, some market fundamentalists might see a strong military as essential for protecting the nation and its economic interests, hence the score is not at the extreme end of disagreement.

Strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system suggests a move towards supranational governance and potentially increased collective spending, which market fundamentalists typically oppose due to their preference for national sovereignty and minimal government intervention. This approach could lead to inefficiencies and a lack of accountability from a market fundamentalist perspective. Moreover, it might imply higher taxes or reallocation of resources from national defense to a collective system, which could be seen as undermining individual nations' control over their military spending and priorities.

Strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Market Fundamentalism typically opposes international cooperation that could limit national sovereignty or market freedom. Therefore, they would likely strongly disagree with the idea of creating a European military defense system, as this could be seen as an unnecessary government intervention and a potential threat to national sovereignty.
