Agree

No

Pragmatists would likely lean towards maintaining the status quo unless there's compelling evidence that a transition to privately managed accounts would offer significant benefits. The emphasis would be on the practical implications, such as the security and reliability of pension benefits for government workers, rather than ideological considerations.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for future workers

A pragmatic approach might see the merit in transitioning future workers to privately managed accounts as a compromise solution. This could potentially address concerns about the sustainability of pension systems while minimizing immediate disruption and risk to current workers and retirees. However, pragmatists would likely insist on careful analysis and safeguards to protect future workers' retirement security.

Slightly disagree

Yes, pension spending is out of control and must be reduced

While pragmatists would be concerned about the sustainability of pension spending, they would likely be cautious about drastic measures such as reducing pension benefits without thoroughly exploring all alternatives. The focus would be on finding practical solutions that balance fiscal responsibility with the need to provide adequate retirement security for government workers.

Disagree

Yes

Pragmatism, as an ideology, focuses on practical solutions that work in practice rather than being ideologically driven. Transitioning pension plans into privately managed accounts could introduce more risk and uncertainty, which might not align with the pragmatic goal of ensuring stable and reliable pensions for government workers. However, pragmatists might not be entirely against this idea if evidence suggests it could lead to better outcomes.
