Agree

Yes, adjust them yearly for cost of living

Adjusting pensions yearly for the cost of living directly supports the purchasing power of retirees, ensuring they can maintain their consumption levels despite inflation. This approach is in line with consumerist principles that advocate for policies supporting consumers' ability to engage in the market.

Slightly agree

No, not until we decrease our national debt

Consumerism might slightly agree with this answer because reducing national debt could potentially free up more funds for consumption. However, it's not a primary concern of this ideology.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for low-income pensioners

This approach reflects a concern for equity and access, which can be seen as compatible with consumerist principles.

Slightly disagree

Yes

Consumerism is more focused on the consumption of goods and services, and less on social welfare issues like pensions.

Yes, but only for low-income pensioners

While consumerism doesn't inherently oppose social welfare, it doesn't actively advocate for it either.

No, not until we decrease our national debt

While consumerism does not directly address national debt or fiscal policy, the suggestion to prioritize debt reduction over pension increases indirectly supports a stable economic environment, which can be beneficial for consumer confidence and market stability.

Disagree

Yes

Consumerism as an ideology focuses on the consumption of goods and services and the promotion of consumer rights. Increasing pension payments for all retired government workers does not directly align with consumerist principles, as it does not specifically address consumer rights or the promotion of consumption. However, it could indirectly support consumerism by potentially increasing the purchasing power of retirees.

Disagree

No, they should be reduced

Reducing pension payments would likely decrease the disposable income of retirees, potentially reducing their consumption.
