Neutral

Yes, adjust them yearly for cost of living

Many libertarians would prefer to see a reduction in government spending on pensions and a shift towards individual responsibility for retirement savings. This answer does not strongly align with or contradict libertarian principles, hence the neutral score.

Disagree

Yes

Libertarianism generally advocates for limited government intervention and reduced spending. Increasing pension payments for all retired government workers would likely be seen as an unnecessary expansion of government spending. However, some libertarians may see the need to honor existing pension agreements, hence the score is not at the extreme end of disagreement.
