Lyndon B. Johnson

Strongly agree

Increase

Lyndon B. Johnson was a proponent of foreign aid as a tool for diplomacy and peacekeeping. His administration saw the creation of the USAID program, which aimed to provide economic and technical assistance to developing countries. This suggests he would likely support an increase in foreign aid spending.

Agree

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

Johnson's administration was marked by a focus on human rights, as seen in his domestic policies like the Civil Rights Act. This suggests he might support increased aid to countries with good human rights records, although this was not a specific focus of his foreign aid policy.

Agree

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

Johnson was a strong opponent of communism and was willing to take strong measures against countries he saw as threats to the US or its allies. This suggests he might support denying aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism, although this was not a specific focus of his foreign aid policy.

Slightly agree

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Disagree

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

While Johnson was concerned about the national budget, his administration saw significant increases in government spending, including on foreign aid. This suggests he would not support decreasing foreign aid to reduce the budget deficit.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

Very strongly disagree

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

Johnson saw foreign aid as a crucial tool in diplomacy and peacekeeping, so it's highly unlikely he would support a complete cessation of foreign aid.
