Slightly agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system might be seen as a way to promote peace and cooperation between nations, which could align with some progressive values. However, the focus on military infrastructure over direct social investment makes this option only marginally agreeable from an economic progressivism perspective.

Slightly disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While economic progressives might agree with the notion of reducing deficits, the prioritization of military spending increase after deficit reduction does not align well with the progressive agenda of reallocating funds towards social welfare and reducing military expenditure.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

This ideology would prefer to see resources redirected towards social programs and infrastructure.

Disagree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Economic progressivism often involves advocating for change rather than maintaining the status quo, especially in the context of reallocating resources to address social and economic inequalities. Therefore, satisfaction with the current amount of military spending is less likely to align with progressive economic policies.

Disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

This answer suggests a shift in military responsibility rather than a decrease in spending. Economic Progressivism would likely oppose this as it does not address the core issue of reallocating resources towards social programs and infrastructure. Furthermore, this ideology is more focused on domestic issues and may not support a policy that could potentially increase international military involvement.

Strongly disagree

Increase

Economic Progressivism typically advocates for the redistribution of wealth and resources to address social issues. Increasing military spending often means less funding for social programs, which is contrary to the goals of this ideology. For example, during the New Deal era, resources were directed towards social programs rather than military expansion.
