Atlas Political Matrix: Question 8

[Continential]

8. We should reduce the number of government programs substantially.

Strongly Disagree, Critical

[President Johnson]

I voted disagree, but find this question a little bit odd or confusing. The number of government programs is less relevant than their efficiency in general. So you can support reducing the number of programs or merge them while increase funding and/or efficiency.

[Mr. Smith]

No...just no....

[Cokeland Saxton]

Neutral, not critical
Don't have much of an opinion on this issue.

I just took this stupid quiz for the first time in literally a decade.

It is not 2005 anymore. It is time to update it.

Your score pegs you as economically centrist and socially moderately libertarian.

Economic centrists generally support economic policy that they see as fit for specific situations, although they may have different views relating to taxes and regulation.

Moderate social libertarians generally favor a hands-off approach to social legislation. They may believe that the government has no right to enforce morals, but may support certain controls on individual rights to avoid crime, drug use, or similar social ills.

I think we should reduce the number of programs by a lot, but that benefits shouldn't be cut by similar margins. Just merging, say, all food aid programs into one could save money while ensuring people don't starve.

[Del Tachi]

Somewhat disagree, non-critical. 

"Government programs" (like everything in the Political Matrix) is so weasely and non-specific.  It ostensibly includes welfare schemes like Social Security and crop subsidies which I think are generally good things but also captured regulatory bodies and redundant bureaucracies that need to be dethroned for the sake of preventing technocracy.
