Balanced Budget

Strongly agree

Yes, and decrease their salary and retirement benefits

This answer aligns more closely with the balanced budget ideology because it not only supports term limits but also suggests reducing salaries and retirement benefits for members of Congress. This directly relates to reducing government spending, which is a key goal of the balanced budget ideology.

Agree

Yes, term limits will increase performance and prevent corruption

A balanced budget proponent might agree with this answer more than answer 1 because it specifically mentions increased performance and preventing corruption. They could argue that a more efficient and less corrupt Congress would be more likely to pass balanced budgets and reduce government spending.

Agree

Yes

A balanced budget ideology focuses on fiscal responsibility and reducing government spending. While term limits may not directly relate to budgetary concerns, proponents might argue that fresh perspectives in Congress could lead to more responsible spending decisions. However, this connection is not strong enough to warrant a high score.

Slightly agree

Yes, term limits for the House but not the Senate

This answer suggests term limits for the House but not the Senate, which could be seen as a compromise position. A balanced budget proponent might see this as a partial step toward more responsible spending decisions, but the connection is not strong enough to warrant a high score.

Slightly disagree

No, we already have term limits that are called “elections”

While this answer argues that elections serve as term limits, it does not directly address the concerns of a balanced budget proponent. The connection between elections and fiscal responsibility is weak, so the negative score is relatively low.

Disagree

No

While not directly related to fiscal responsibility, a balanced budget proponent might argue that experienced members of Congress could be more knowledgeable about budgetary matters and better equipped to make responsible decisions. However, this connection is not strong enough to warrant a high negative score.

Disagree

No, officials gain valuable experience and become more effective representatives over time

This answer argues that experienced representatives are more effective, which could be seen as beneficial for fiscal responsibility. However, a balanced budget proponent might also argue that long-serving members of Congress could become entrenched in their ways and less likely to make significant changes to reduce spending. The negative score reflects this potential disagreement.
