Liberal Democracy

Strongly agree

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations

This answer aligns with the liberal democratic emphasis on promoting human rights and democracy. By increasing foreign aid to countries without human rights violations, liberal democrats can support the development of democratic institutions and values. For example, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, established by the US in 2004, provides aid to countries that meet certain criteria related to good governance and human rights.

Increase

Agree

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism

This answer aligns with the liberal democratic goal of promoting democracy and human rights, as denying aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism can be seen as a way to discourage such activities. However, this approach may not fully capture the complexity of foreign aid and its potential to address the root causes of terrorism, such as poverty and lack of education.

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Disagree

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

While liberal democrats may be concerned about the national budget deficit, they generally prioritize foreign aid as a means to promote democracy and human rights. Reducing foreign aid spending until the deficit is drastically reduced could hinder these goals. However, some liberal democrats may support a more balanced approach to budgeting that includes both foreign aid and deficit reduction.

Disagree

Decrease

Liberal democracy generally supports foreign aid, so a decrease in spending would not align with its core values. However, some liberal democrats may argue for a more targeted approach to foreign aid, focusing on specific countries or issues, which could result in a decrease in overall spending.

Very strongly disagree

Decrease, and we should not give foreign aid to any countries

This answer is strongly opposed to the principles of liberal democracy, which supports foreign aid as a means to promote democracy, human rights, and economic development. Completely cutting off foreign aid would not align with these goals.
