'New Poll Recommends Eating the Billionaires'

"AP has a new poll out which asked whether people think it’s a good or bad thing that the President 'relies on billionaires for advice about government policy'...12% of the public think it’s a good thing. 60% think it’s not. That’s U.S. adults. The only outliers are Republicans, 20% of whom think this is a good thing...To put it simply, these are terrible numbers."

"A few other data points. 29% support 'DOGE'; 39% oppose it...Rather strikingly, when asked which things the government isn’t spending enough money on social security (67%) and education (65%) ranked highest, with assistance to the poor (62%) and Medicare (61%) just slightly behind. Notably, just slightly further behind are Medicaid (55%) and Border Security at (51%)."

My Trump voting relatives didn't know about Project 2025 & when I sent them a link, their response was that politicians will say anything to get attention & as usual, the libs overreact. You dumb shits.
