Decrease, and we should not give foreign aid to any countries

Many populists argue that the government should prioritize domestic issues and the needs of the common people over international concerns. Eliminating foreign aid entirely would be an extreme example of this stance, redirecting all resources towards addressing domestic problems. This view has been expressed by some populist politicians, such as former US Representative Ron Paul, who has called for an end to all foreign aid.

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

Populists often prioritize domestic issues and the needs of the common people, and reducing the national budget deficit could be seen as a way to ensure the long-term stability of the US economy. Decreasing foreign aid spending until the deficit is reduced might be seen as a way to redirect resources towards addressing domestic problems, such as poverty and unemployment, while also addressing the fiscal health of the nation.

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism

Populists might support decreasing foreign aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism as a way to protect national security and promote the interests of the common people. This stance could be seen as consistent with the populist emphasis on prioritizing domestic concerns, as it seeks to ensure that US resources are not used to support governments or groups that pose a threat to the nation.

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations

While populism generally focuses on domestic issues, some populists might support increasing foreign aid for countries with no human rights violations as a way to promote democracy and human rights around the world. This stance could be seen as consistent with the populist emphasis on the needs and concerns of the common people, as it seeks to support governments that respect the rights of their citizens.

Neutral

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Populism does not have a specific stance on the current amount of foreign aid spending, as it depends on the priorities and goals of the populist movement in question. Some populists might be satisfied with the current amount if they believe it is being used effectively to promote US interests, while others might argue for an increase or decrease based on their specific policy goals.

Disagree

Increase

Populism generally focuses on the needs and concerns of the common people, often advocating for policies that prioritize domestic issues over international ones. Increasing foreign aid spending might be seen as diverting resources away from addressing domestic problems, such as poverty and unemployment. However, some populists might support increased foreign aid if it is tied to specific goals that benefit the US, such as promoting democracy or fighting terrorism.
