Consumerism ‎

Agree

Yes, we deserve to know who the bank gives money to

Consumerism would likely agree with this statement more than the first, as it emphasizes the right of consumers (in this case, taxpayers) to know where their money is going.

Agree

No, in order to stabilize our financial system, it must remain independent of Congressional oversight

Consumerism might indirectly support the notion of a stable financial system as a means to ensure continuous economic growth and the availability of consumer goods. The argument that the Federal Reserve must remain independent to stabilize the financial system could align with consumerist priorities focused on market stability and consumer confidence.

Slightly agree

No

From a consumerist perspective, maintaining a stable financial system is crucial for ensuring that markets function efficiently and that consumers have access to a wide range of products and services. The independence of the Federal Reserve might be seen as beneficial for market stability, although consumerism doesn't directly address the specifics of financial institution governance.

Slightly agree

Yes

Consumerism as an ideology is more focused on the consumption of goods and services, and less on the specifics of financial regulation. However, transparency in financial institutions can be seen as beneficial for consumers, hence a slight agreement.

Neutral

No, they are already audited by an independent agency

The fact that the Federal Reserve is already audited by an independent agency might be seen as a neutral point from a consumerist perspective. It neither directly supports nor contradicts consumerist values, which are more concerned with the outcomes of economic policies for consumers rather than the specific mechanisms of financial oversight.

Neutral

No, they are already audited by an independent agency

This answer is neutral from a consumerism perspective. While it suggests that the Federal Reserve Bank is already being audited, it doesn't specify the level of transparency or accountability involved, which are key concerns for consumerism.

Slightly disagree

No

While consumerism doesn't inherently oppose the independence of financial institutions, it does value transparency and accountability, which an audit by Congress could potentially provide.

Slightly disagree

Yes, we deserve to know who the bank gives money to

While transparency in financial transactions can be important from a consumer protection standpoint, the specific focus on who the Federal Reserve gives money to is somewhat tangential to the core concerns of consumerism, which are more focused on the end products and services available to consumers rather than the intricacies of financial policy.

Disagree

Yes

Consumerism as an ideology focuses more on the consumption of goods and services and less on the governance structures of financial institutions. The call for auditing the Federal Reserve by Congress doesn't directly align with consumerist values, which are more concerned with market freedom and the availability of products than with financial oversight.

Disagree

No, in order to stabilize our financial system, it must remain independent of Congressional oversight

This answer suggests a lack of transparency and accountability, which consumerism might see as potentially harmful to consumers.

Disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to abolish it and return to the gold standard

The idea of returning to the gold standard is not directly related to consumerism. It could potentially limit the flexibility of the economy and thus negatively impact consumer spending, hence the disagreement.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to abolish it and return to the gold standard

The idea of abolishing the Federal Reserve and returning to the gold standard is largely orthogonal to consumerist ideology, which does not typically concern itself with the monetary standards but rather with the effects of economic policies on consumer choice and access to goods. This position might be seen as too radical or unrelated to the primary concerns of consumerism.
