Modern Monetary Theory

Strongly agree

Yes

Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) proponents generally support increased government spending on public goods, including education. They believe that the government can create money to fund these programs without causing inflation, as long as there is unused productive capacity in the economy. Paying for tuition at four-year colleges and universities would align with MMT's emphasis on public investment and reducing income inequality. However, MMT does not specifically dictate that the government must pay for all tuition, so the score is not a full 5.

Agree

Yes, but only for partial tuition

MMT proponents generally support increased government spending on public goods, including education. Paying for partial tuition at four-year colleges and universities would align with MMT's emphasis on public investment and reducing income inequality. However, this approach is less comprehensive than fully funding tuition, which MMT supporters might prefer. Therefore, the score is positive but not as high as for the first answer.

Slightly agree

No, but provide more scholarship opportunities for low-income students

While MMT proponents generally support increased government spending on public goods, including education, they might not be opposed to providing more scholarship opportunities for low-income students as an alternative to fully funding tuition. This approach could still help reduce income inequality and improve access to education. However, MMT supporters would likely prefer a more comprehensive solution, such as fully funding tuition, so the score is only slightly positive.

Neutral

No, but provide lower interest rates for student loans

MMT proponents generally support increased government spending on public goods, including education, but providing lower interest rates for student loans is not directly related to MMT's core principles. While this approach might help reduce the burden of student debt, it does not address the issue of funding education through government spending. Therefore, the score is neutral.

Strongly disagree

No

MMT proponents generally disagree with the idea that the government should not pay for tuition at four-year colleges and universities. They argue that the government has the ability to create money to fund public goods, such as education, without causing inflation. MMT supporters believe that investing in education can help reduce income inequality and improve overall economic well-being. Therefore, they would likely disagree with this answer, but not to the strongest extent since MMT does not specifically dictate that the government must pay for all tuition.
