Neutral

Yes, but by drastically reducing the benefits and salaries of government officials

This answer does not align well with social liberalism, as it focuses on reducing benefits and salaries of government officials rather than addressing broader issues of wealth inequality and public spending. While some social liberals might support reducing excessive compensation for government officials, it is not a core tenet of the ideology.

Slightly disagree
