Agree

Increase

Tom Reed, as a Republican, generally supports a strong military. However, he has not explicitly called for an increase in military spending, hence the score is not at the maximum.

Agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Slightly agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Reed has shown concern for the national deficit, but he has not explicitly tied this concern to military spending. Therefore, he might somewhat agree with this statement, but it's not a strong stance he has taken.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

Reed, being a member of the Republican party, is unlikely to support a decrease in military spending as it goes against the party's general stance on maintaining a strong defense.

Very strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Reed has not shown support for a European military defense system, and such a proposal would likely be seen as a departure from the traditional Republican stance on American military autonomy.
