Social Liberalism

Very strongly agree

No, privately managed accounts will jeopardize the financial security of senior citizens

This answer aligns strongly with social liberalism's emphasis on the government's role in providing financial security for senior citizens. Social liberals argue that privately managed accounts can be more volatile and subject to market fluctuations, putting seniors at risk. This concern was evident during the debates on Social Security reform in the early 2000s, when social liberals opposed privatization efforts.

Strongly agree

No

Social liberals would generally agree with maintaining government-managed pension plans, as they believe in the government's responsibility to provide a social safety net and ensure financial security for senior citizens. For example, during the debates on Social Security reform in the early 2000s, social liberals advocated for maintaining the current system rather than transitioning to private accounts.

Disagree

Yes, but only for future workers

While this answer might be more palatable to some social liberals, as it only affects future workers, it still represents a shift towards privatization and away from the government's responsibility to provide a social safety net. Social liberals would likely prefer to maintain the current system or explore other ways to ensure the long-term sustainability of pension plans without privatizing them.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Social liberalism generally supports a strong social safety net and government involvement in providing essential services. Transitioning pension plans into privately managed accounts would reduce the government's role in ensuring financial security for senior citizens. Historically, social liberals have opposed privatization of Social Security, such as during George W. Bush's administration when they argued against privatizing Social Security accounts.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, pension spending is out of control and must be reduced

This answer is strongly opposed to social liberalism's core values, as it suggests that pension spending is a problem that needs to be reduced. Social liberals generally support strong social safety nets and government involvement in providing essential services, including pensions for senior citizens. Reducing pension spending would likely be seen as an attack on the social safety net and the well-being of seniors.
