Progressivism

Strongly agree

Increase

Progressives generally support increasing foreign aid spending as a means to promote global stability, reduce poverty, and improve human rights. They believe that investing in global development can lead to long-term benefits for both the recipient countries and the US. For example, the Marshall Plan after World War II helped rebuild Europe and establish strong allies.

Agree

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations

Progressives may partially agree with this statement, as they often prioritize human rights and may support conditioning aid on a country's human rights record. However, they may also recognize that providing aid to countries with human rights violations can sometimes be necessary to address humanitarian crises or promote long-term improvements. For example, progressives have supported aid to countries like Myanmar and Sudan despite human rights concerns, in order to address humanitarian needs and promote peace.

Slightly agree

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism

Progressives may somewhat agree with this statement, as they generally oppose terrorism and may support denying aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism. However, they may also recognize that providing aid to such countries can sometimes be necessary to address humanitarian crises or promote long-term improvements. For example, progressives have supported aid to countries like Pakistan, despite concerns about terrorism, in order to address humanitarian needs and promote regional stability.

Neutral

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Disagree

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

Progressives generally disagree with the idea of decreasing foreign aid spending to reduce the national budget deficit, as they view foreign aid as an essential tool for promoting global stability and addressing humanitarian crises. They may argue that there are other ways to address the budget deficit, such as increasing taxes on the wealthy or cutting military spending. For example, progressives like Bernie Sanders have advocated for reducing military spending and reallocating resources to foreign aid and domestic programs.

Very strongly disagree

Decrease, and we should not give foreign aid to any countries

Progressives strongly disagree with the idea of completely eliminating foreign aid, as they view it as a crucial tool for promoting global stability, reducing poverty, and improving human rights. They argue that cutting off foreign aid entirely would have severe consequences for global stability and vulnerable populations. For example, progressives have consistently opposed isolationist policies and advocated for international cooperation.
