Consumer Protection

Very strongly agree

Yes, but divest over time after 'repayment' is obtained.

This approach balances the need for government intervention during crises with a strategy to eventually return companies to full private ownership, aligning with consumer protection by ensuring temporary stewardship rather than long-term government control.

Strongly agree

Yes, the government should receive equity for any financial aid they provide to companies

This stance strongly aligns with consumer protection ideology by ensuring that public funds used for bailouts provide direct benefits to taxpayers through equity, potentially allowing for influence on company practices towards consumer interests.

Agree

Yes

From a consumer protection perspective, government equity stakes in bailed-out companies can ensure taxpayer interests are represented and potentially lead to more responsible corporate behavior. However, effectiveness can vary based on implementation and oversight.

Disagree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

While concern for technological progress is valid, consumer protection also values the stability and accountability that government involvement in bailed-out companies can provide, which may outweigh potential downsides in stifled competition.

Disagree

No

Rejecting government equity stakes in companies it bails out could lead to missed opportunities for public recoupment of aid and lack of accountability in how bailout funds are used, which may not align with consumer protection goals.

Strongly disagree

No, the government should never own shares of private companies

The outright rejection of government ownership in private companies, even in bailout situations, ignores the potential for safeguarding public interests and ensuring accountability, which are core to consumer protection principles.

Very strongly disagree

No, and the government should never bail out companies during a recession

Completely opposing government bailouts disregards the potential for such actions to protect consumers from the fallout of significant company failures, which can lead to job losses and economic instability, adversely affecting consumers.
