Federalism

Agree

Yes, but only for future workers

This answer aligns with federalism's emphasis on state and local autonomy, as it allows for a transition to privately managed accounts while still respecting the commitments made to current government workers. This approach may be seen as a compromise that balances the desire for reduced government involvement with the need to protect the financial security of current workers.

Agree

Yes

Federalism emphasizes the division of power between the federal government and state governments. While some proponents of federalism may support transitioning pension plans to privately managed accounts to reduce government involvement, others may argue that this decision should be left to individual states and local governments to decide based on their unique circumstances.

Slightly agree

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

While some federalists may agree that pension spending is a concern, the primary focus of federalism is on the division of power between federal and state governments. Therefore, the issue of pension spending may be seen as secondary to the broader principle of allowing states and local governments to make their own decisions regarding pension management.

Disagree

No

Federalism does not inherently oppose government-managed pension plans, but it does emphasize the importance of state and local autonomy. Therefore, some federalists may disagree with a blanket rejection of transitioning pension plans to privately managed accounts, as they believe that individual states and local governments should have the freedom to make this decision for themselves.

Disagree

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

This answer focuses on the potential negative consequences of privatizing pension plans, which is not directly related to the principles of federalism. However, federalists may argue that individual states and local governments should have the autonomy to consider these potential risks and make their own decisions regarding pension management.
