Agree

No, not until we decrease our national debt

Slightly disagree

Yes, adjust them yearly for cost of living

While adjusting pensions for cost of living might seem like a fair and reasonable measure, Market Fundamentalism generally opposes government intervention in the economy. It would likely prefer a system where pensions are determined by market forces, not government decisions.

Slightly disagree

Yes, adjust them yearly for cost of living

Adjusting pension payments yearly for the cost of living introduces a systematic government intervention in the economy, which market fundamentalists might view with caution. However, this approach might be seen as a more market-aligned way to ensure pensions remain viable without broadly increasing government spending, hence the less negative score compared to other increases in pension payments.

Disagree

Yes, but only for low-income pensioners

While market fundamentalism supports reducing government intervention, the idea of selectively increasing pensions for low-income pensioners introduces a level of government involvement in redistributing wealth, which is somewhat contrary to market fundamentalist principles. However, the focus on limiting the increase to a specific group might be seen as a more fiscally conservative approach than across-the-board increases.

Disagree

Yes, for government workers but not for politicians

Disagree

Yes, but only for low-income pensioners

Disagree

Yes, for government workers but not for politicians

Market fundamentalism does not typically make distinctions between different types of government workers or politicians in its critique of government spending. The ideology would likely view any increase in government spending, including pension payments, skeptically, regardless of the recipients. The differentiation between government workers and politicians does not align with the fundamental principles of market efficiency and minimal government intervention.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Market fundamentalism emphasizes minimal government intervention and believes in the efficiency of free markets to allocate resources. Increasing pension payments for retired government workers would likely be seen as expanding government expenditure and intervention, which contradicts the principles of market fundamentalism. Historical references include the policies advocated by economists like Milton Friedman, who argued for reduced government spending and more reliance on market forces.
