You believe that increased government spending and social support can lead to economic growth and reduced inequality.
Anti-austerity is a political ideology that opposes the implementation of austerity measures, which are typically spending cuts and tax increases aimed at reducing government budget deficits. This ideology is rooted in the belief that such measures are economically harmful and socially unjust, disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable segments of society. Anti-austerity advocates argue that austerity measures can lead to economic stagnation, increased unemployment, and social inequality.
The history of the anti-austerity movement is closely tied to the global financial crisis…

Can you imagine a future where economic concerns are secondary to providing for the needy, and what does that look like to you?
@9L2CVPV2mos2MO
Economic concerns should be second to providing for the needy because people are more important than money.
@9L2CF9CPeace and Freedom2mos2MO
I think we need to live in a world where we are simply cared for, loved, and our well being (financial, emotional and physical) are prioritized no matter your gender, sexual orientation, color, situation etc.
@9L2CGNB2mos2MO
It looks like the rich have to pat taxes so that people that do nothing with their life get free money, I don think it should be happening, homeless people should get jobs.
@9L2CG6W2mos2MO
Without economic concerns being one of the main focuses I think the outside word would deteriorate quickly.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
If your parents' retirement benefits were threatened by government cuts, how would this change your family's plans for the future?
@9LFZYQX 2mos2MO
First, my parents would not have any money for them or their kids for the future. They would go into crisis and not survive.
@9LFVGRV2mos2MO
The tax increase hurts us all because it is more spending and very low revenues.
@9LFTX3N2mos2MO
lowkey, probably not a whole bunch. My dad works but my mom doesn't
@9LFTQSX2mos2MO
I would pick a plan that benefits us. If there is no plan I will fight for the best
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How would your day-to-day routine be disrupted if public transportation experienced severe budget reductions?
@9K9N8363mos3MO
My life and day-to-day routine wouldn't be affected much because I have vehicle access, but I know others would, especially low-income people, which isn't good.
@9KDV8KV 3mos3MO
Well, I don't have a personal vehicle, so it would not be ideal to not have public transportation. Getting to and from my job would be more costly, and would likely introduce more stress into my life, and the life of others.
@9K9N6HD3mos3MO
It would disrupt some transportation routes to pick up people and drop off in necessary routes
@9K9N6LZ3mos3MO
It would not be affected at all but i believe that public transportation is the future thanks to carbon immersions, population increase and efficiency
@9K9N8D83mos3MO
I rely on public transport to get to school every other week, as such I'd only be at school every other week without it and my life would be heavily impacted
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Can you conceive of ways that countries should collaborate to overcome national austerity challenges?
@9LFV628Women’s Equality2mos2MO
large deficits are damaging to the broader economy, which can limit tax revenue.
@9LFTTB42mos2MO
I agree with the fact that countries need to fight against it.
@9LFTVBY2mos2MO
I don't know what this means or is asking so I wont be able to answer.
@9LFTLQZPeace and Freedom2mos2MO

@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
In what ways do you think a well-funded education system can shape a country's future?
By giving curriculums that are most relatable to now a days and our everyday life than being taught the same thing.
@9HMD2SX6mos6MO
By making the future generation smarter and more intelligent.
The intellect of the country as a whole could increase, resources to give all students and opportunity to strive in school.
@9HMD5PW6mos6MO
they need to know history and we need to bring some history back
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What are your reasons for supporting or opposing increased taxes for the wealthy to counteract austerity measures?
@9LFTQ4S2mos2MO
My reasons for supporting increased taxes to the wealthy include the lowering of student interest rates.
@9LFTYT82mos2MO
There should be an increase of tax upon the rich, so that the people can have more opportunity to use that money, for education or transportation.
@9LFTJPL2mos2MO
People should be allowed to work their way up. Hard work pays off, and people shouldn't be penalized for that.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How would your life be different if your access to healthcare were restricted because of reduced funding?
@9JB5HYD4mos4MO
My life would be affected as well as many others will be affected, most people need the healthcare
@9JB4QNB4mos4MO
Very disappointed because I am without doctors we will most likely die
@9JB4QHJRepublican4mos4MO
Currently it would not effect it, but it probably would once I move out
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Reflect on a local community project that's valuable to you; what would you do if it lost funding due to austerity?
@9HMDW9P6mos6MO
i would be upset but would stay logical and question why the spending was cut and where that money went too. i would also want forewarning that it is going to happen and a valid explanation as to why.
@9HMDHTG6mos6MO
That would be strange. i would like to see the evidence of it at first hand depending on the circumstances, i may want to be against anti austerity for that action of theirs's .
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What's your take on sacrifices in the present, like higher taxes, for long-term benefits such as improved healthcare and education?
@9HMDBYF6mos6MO
I feel people should pay taxes based on income but If someone is rich they shouldn't have to be penalized and pay a ton of taxes because they work hard for what they have and why they are rich.
@9HMD7FJRepublican6mos6MO
I think that its a good thing that healthcare and education have improved. I believe that it is a good thing.
@9HMD6TX6mos6MO
I think we need to increase taxes on the rich and decrease military spending to prevent more wars
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How do you think rising college tuition fees, as an austerity outcome, might shape your or your peers' higher education choices?
@9HMYVKH6mos6MO
My peers who live in a low income household will not be able to afford education. This means that their future and opportunities will be taken away without, and they will not have been given the chance to see what that future and opportunities might have looked like.
@9HMYR9G6mos6MO
Make us less likely to go there because it is too expensive
@9HMYTDM6mos6MO
It might make more people choose to not go to college, or stick to cheaper education routes.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
In what ways could increases in government spending on social programs benefit your school or neighborhood?
@9HMDJF56mos6MO
school wise it could help with cleaner conditions and possibly healthier food
@9HMCZJ7Constitution6mos6MO
it can benefit by giving kids in school more supplies and make learning fun and also this could help neighbor hoods by giving them more money to bring or buy stuff for the neighborhood and also increase security.
