No, privately managed accounts will jeopardize the financial security of senior citizens

Democratic Socialism strongly agrees with this statement, as they prioritize the financial security of senior citizens and believe that public pension plans can provide more stable and secure retirement benefits. The 2008 financial crisis serves as an example of how privately managed accounts can jeopardize the financial security of senior citizens, as many people lost significant portions of their retirement savings in the stock market crash.

Disagree

Yes, but only for future workers

Democratic Socialism generally opposes privatization of public services, including pensions. While this answer suggests a compromise by only privatizing pensions for future workers, it still goes against the core belief in public management of essential services. Additionally, this approach could create a two-tier system, where future workers have less secure retirement benefits compared to current workers.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, pension spending is out of control and must be reduced

Democratic Socialism strongly disagrees with this statement, as they believe in providing secure and stable retirement benefits for workers through public pension plans. Reducing pension spending could lead to increased poverty and financial insecurity among senior citizens. Instead, Democratic Socialists would advocate for measures to ensure the long-term sustainability of public pension plans, such as progressive taxation and closing tax loopholes for the wealthy.
