Republicanism

Strongly agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Many Republicans are concerned about the national deficit and prioritize fiscal responsibility. They may support increasing military spending but only after the deficit is reduced. This position aligns with the Republican emphasis on both a strong national defense and fiscal responsibility. For example, Senator Rand Paul has advocated for a balanced budget amendment while also supporting a strong national defense.

Increase

Slightly agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Some Republicans may be satisfied with the current level of military spending, especially if they believe it is sufficient to maintain a strong national defense. However, this position may not be as common among Republicans who advocate for increased military spending or more efficient use of defense funds.

Disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Republicans generally prioritize national sovereignty and may be hesitant to support a European military defense system that could potentially undermine the United States' autonomy in defense matters. While some Republicans may see value in international cooperation for defense, the idea of creating a European military defense system instead of focusing on the United States' military might not align with typical Republican values.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

Republicans typically do not support decreasing military spending, as they believe in maintaining a strong national defense. However, there may be some Republicans who advocate for more efficient use of military funds or reallocating resources within the defense budget, but overall, the Republican stance is against decreasing military spending.
