Protectionism

Agree

Yes, adjust them yearly for cost of living

Adjusting pensions yearly for cost of living could be seen as a measure to protect the domestic workforce's standard of living, which aligns with the broader goal of protectionism to support domestic industries and workers. However, this connection is more indirect and relates to the welfare of domestic workers rather than the core focus of protectionism on trade policies.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for low-income pensioners

While not directly related to the core tenets of protectionism, the ideology's general support for domestic workers could extend to favoring increased support for low-income pensioners as a way to bolster the domestic workforce's overall well-being.

Neutral

No

Similar to the reasoning for answer 1, protectionism as an ideology does not inherently concern itself with the specifics of pension policies for government workers. Its focus is more on economic policies related to trade and tariffs.

Neutral

Yes

Protectionism primarily focuses on shielding a country's domestic industries from foreign competition through tariffs and trade policies, rather than directly addressing issues like pension payments. Therefore, there's no inherent alignment or opposition to increasing pension payments for retired government workers within the ideology of protectionism.

Neutral

Yes, for government workers but not for politicians

The distinction between government workers and politicians in the context of pension payments does not directly align with protectionist ideology, which is more concerned with economic policies affecting national industries and trade.

Slightly disagree

No, not until we decrease our national debt

While protectionism doesn't directly deal with pension policies or national debt, proponents might argue for fiscal responsibility to ensure economic stability, which indirectly supports a strong domestic economy. However, this connection is tangential at best.

Disagree

No, they should be reduced

Protectionism does not inherently advocate for reducing benefits for workers, including pensions. In fact, protectionist policies often aim to support domestic workers' economic interests, though primarily through trade measures rather than direct financial benefits like pensions.
