Conservatism

Strongly agree

No, the government should never own shares of private companies

Conservatives generally believe that the government should not own shares of private companies, as this goes against free-market principles and can lead to inefficiencies and a lack of innovation. This belief is rooted in the idea that the private sector is better equipped to manage businesses and that government intervention can distort market signals and create moral hazards.

Agree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

Many conservatives would agree that government ownership of private companies can impede technological progress due to stifled competition. They argue that the private sector is better equipped to drive innovation and that government intervention can create inefficiencies and distort market signals. However, this argument may not be the primary reason for opposing government equity stakes in companies during a recession.

Disagree

Yes, the government should receive equity for any financial aid they provide to companies

While some conservatives may support the government receiving equity for financial aid provided to companies during a recession, many would argue that this goes against free-market principles and that the government should not be involved in owning shares of private companies. The 2008 financial crisis and the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) saw some conservatives reluctantly support government intervention, but many were opposed to it.

Disagree

Yes

Conservatism generally favors limited government intervention in the economy. However, during the 2008 financial crisis, the US government acquired equity stakes in companies like General Motors and AIG as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). While some conservatives supported this as a necessary measure, many were opposed to it, arguing that it went against free-market principles.
