Strongly agree

Yes, and eliminate federal agencies that are unconstitutional

Fiscal conservatives often advocate for a limited government and strict adherence to the Constitution. Eliminating federal agencies deemed unconstitutional would align with both fiscal conservatism and a commitment to limited government. Examples include calls to abolish the Department of Education or the Environmental Protection Agency.

Agree

No, reduce the number of government officials instead

Reducing the number of government officials can be seen as a form of spending cuts, which fiscal conservatives support.

Agree

Yes, but by drastically reducing the benefits and salaries of government officials

Reducing benefits and salaries of government officials can be seen as a form of spending cuts, which fiscal conservatives support. However, this approach alone would likely not have a significant impact on the national debt, so it may not be a top priority for fiscal conservatives.

Agree

Yes, and increase taxes

While fiscal conservatives prioritize spending cuts, some may be open to a combination of spending cuts and tax increases as a means to reduce the national debt. This approach was seen in the 1990s under President Clinton, who worked with a Republican-controlled Congress to balance the budget through a mix of spending cuts and tax increases.

Slightly agree

No, reduce military spending instead

Neutral

No, focus on ending tax evasion instead

Fiscal conservatives may support efforts to end tax evasion as a means to increase government revenue without raising taxes. However, this approach does not directly address the core principle of reducing government spending, so it may not be a primary focus for fiscal conservatives.

Disagree

No, increase taxes on large multinational corporations instead
