Progressivism

Strongly agree

Decrease

Progressives often argue that the United States spends too much on its military and that resources should be redirected towards social programs, education, and infrastructure. They point to examples like the high cost of the Iraq War and the fact that the U.S. spends more on its military than the next several countries combined. Elizabeth Warren, a progressive senator, has called for a decrease in military spending.

Slightly agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Some progressives may agree with this position, as it acknowledges the need to address the deficit and suggests a more cautious approach to military spending. However, many progressives would still prefer to see a decrease in military spending and a redirection of resources towards social programs and domestic issues.

Slightly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

While the idea of a European military defense system may appeal to some progressives who advocate for international cooperation, this answer does not directly address the question of U.S. military spending. Progressives are more likely to focus on decreasing U.S. military spending and redirecting resources towards domestic priorities.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Progressives generally believe that the current level of military spending is too high and that resources should be redirected towards other priorities.

Disagree

Increase

While not universally opposed to military spending, they tend to advocate for a more balanced approach and may call for reductions in military spending to fund other priorities. For example, Bernie Sanders, a prominent progressive, has called for a decrease in military spending.
