No, reduce military spending instead

Many social progressives advocate for reducing military spending and reallocating those funds to social programs and public services. They argue that excessive military spending contributes to global instability and diverts resources from more pressing domestic issues. For example, the 'Defund the Pentagon' movement in the United States is supported by progressive politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar.

No, focus on ending tax evasion instead

Focusing on ending tax evasion is an important issue for social progressives, who argue that closing tax loopholes and ensuring that everyone pays their fair share would help reduce wealth inequality and provide more funding for public services.

No, cuts to public spending will negatively affect the economy

Social progressives often argue that cuts to public spending can have negative economic effects, such as reduced consumer spending and increased unemployment. They point to historical examples like the Great Depression, where government spending through the New Deal programs helped to stimulate economic recovery. However, this answer does not provide specific alternative solutions for reducing national debt.

Slightly agree

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

While some social progressives may support reducing benefits and salaries for government officials as a way to reduce national debt, this is not a primary focus for the ideology. Social progressives are more concerned with addressing wealth inequality and promoting social welfare through progressive taxation and public spending.

Disagree

Yes, and increase taxes

Social progressives generally prioritize social welfare and public services over reducing national debt.

Yes, and eliminate federal agencies that are unconstitutional

Eliminating federal agencies based on their perceived unconstitutionality is not a priority for social progressives, who generally support a strong and active government role in addressing social issues. This answer aligns more with libertarian or conservative ideologies that prioritize limited government intervention.
