josh...	He’s an idiot
pjsm...	The damage to social programs will have a negative impact on the US for decades. His policies are creating a brain drain. The tariffs debacle will turn the rest of our allies and other countries against us. It’s a coup and a heist of America’s treasury.
jscu...	We’re $36 trillion in debt, folks. We cannot keep spending like drunken sailors.
asel...	While I support reducing duplicate, meaningless spending many of the things that are being cut are essential to our country's environmental safety, scientific progress and actual citizen's well-being. Knee jerk, symbolic cuts are worthless.
bogo...	Fuck off democrats
bcyo...	Hit the middle class and poor and reward the wealthy
vale...	Dems have destroyed our country and made the world more dangerous. We need to fix up our military as we need it to keep our country strong.
walk...	We can’t keep giving borrowed money away, funding pay backs, funding ridiculous projects and expect to survive. That is the real danger to SS and genuine social programs
davi...	Security should be #1. To contue down the path of spending and over-regulation is just plain stupid.
lora...	WE need to stop all this government spending especially all the corruption and fraud with the democrats paying back their donors. We also should stop the Green Energy deal. We should not subsidize but encourage research to lower emissions.
tomh...	Making cuts without thinking about consequences
k.au...	Worst President of all time. No morals, no interest in our country’s welfare, racist, sexist, and narcissistic.
caro...	The proposed budget is unacceptable because it doesn' serve the general American population due to cut backs in key government agencies now serving the American people. There is no plan to find ways to investigate nor resolve the impact of cut backs to vital agencies such as renewable energy and most certainly the Department of Education for the future. The planned cut-backs (in monitary terms) for the Department of Education will be used to support the privatization of education leaving the public sector bankrupt and without an agency to support public education which most American families depend on. The cut-backs to renewable energy (in monetary terms) will be used to support suppression of the reality of global warming and support big oil and associated corporate entities-not the American people.
just...	I wish that he had Doged the dept of defense and showed us all the corruption in spending there and their budget was also 22% smaller.
mitt...	We are not at war. Time to cut the defense budget and focus more on helping our citizens.
grah...	Trump is a douchewad dictator authoritarian
nick...	Prioritizing defense and border control is a good thing. As is eliminating waste in our government.
tomg...	More weapons, because we are making more enemies, but less schooling and willingness to acknowledge and combat global warming. Nothing smart there!
mfbr...	Cutting international aid and communication will require much greater investment in the military than we save. Just ask our own senior military who have served abroad…
kare...	The amount of fraud and lack of basic accounting principles/ procedures should alarm everyone. The majority of the cuts are addressing these unbalanced and unbelievable deficits in our archaic government institutions. Recipients of taxpayer dollars should be the very people who have paid into the system and those CITIZENS who are truly needy and qualify for said services and benefits. There will be a lot more money available if we can get to the heart of the fraud and abuse. Everyone should be on board with this.
jimb...	More guns (beyond needed for self defense) more likely intervention in battles around the world
doct...	Building positive international relationships is best
rfis...	President Trump won the election in a Landslide. We’re getting what he promised and I’m good with that. 🇺🇸
russ...	Dramatic cuts to so many programs that so many Americans have to come to depend on will leave so many in far worse position the few billionaires who will benefit dramatically. A an example - cuts to VA benefits is a stab in the back to those who took the oath and served bravely for our country. Democracy is being destroyed through cuts to so many programs that were put in place to ensure we honored the rights afforded to everyone by the Constitution (i.e. elimination of anything / anyone who does not agree with Trump's actions/opinions). America is being destroyed by these actions and dramatic cuts that are being pursued to support tax cuts for billionaires and dramatic increases in defense expenditures to reward the rich donors to the MAGA cause. Trump is doing all he can to destroy American democracy.
call...	I do not like the direction our government is going.
happ...	Need to get budget under control and things being cut seem reasonable
loui...	This very bad for the economy and the citizens of of our country. A big step backwards!
ttim...	Keeping inline with long term goals.
paul...	His first 100 days has been chaos (remember: he loves chaos.) It'll go down as one of the worst fist 100 days in presidential history. He's not helping anybody. A significant reason why he got elected was to reduce the national debt and balance the budget. He has actually made them both worse while cutting services willy-nilly.
cmic...	Cutting waste in government is a good thing, but Trump is cutting service capacity and doing it without Congressional approval. As for the Defense budget, until they can pass a real audit, we should freeze increases in defense spending. Probably more waste here than in the other areas combined.
mart...	We need to focus our limited resources on making the USA secure and eliminate social justice spending.
zack...	Defense needs to be cut as well! Cut everything, this spending cannot go on any longer. It’s time we start spending money on our own citizens instead of war and fake climate nonsense
wmlb...	UnAmerican
grah...	They are building a totalitarian regime and removing the protections to leave a natural world for our descendants. The Trump administration could not be following a more obvious playbook for the end of democracy in the United States.
dcam...	Doge was supposed to cut bloat why put it back in new budget
k8ek...	He's insane (and has put us all on an indescribably horrible path).
moll...	Cutting science is handicapping the future economy and American leadership.
bc11...	Any serious attempt to balance the budget has to cut defense. If we're not going to actually stand up to aggression against NATO countries, then cutting defense makes military sense, anyway.
arie...	Don’t cut education — it’s the foundation of a healthy society
mike...	Finally a president that is doing what we elected him for! Yay Trump!
kzag...	President Trump is totally capable and has proven himself and his team over and over . NO SECOND GUESSING!
dian...	Although it is important to support the military, social, educationaland environmental issues are also important and should not be dismantled across the board
wewi...	This is completely unacceptable. He has no use for the environment or education or international position. Our children will pay for his greed. The taxpayers will pay a very high price fir his cuts.
mich...	The Admin justifies the cuts by referring to reducing the deficit...yet it will cut taxes.. Voo Doo!
gwal...	We have to boost our national security. If we do not, countries like China, Russia, and others will continue to attack us.
geof...	National Security increase? I don’t think any country is going to attack the USA and Trump clearly doesn’t want to spend to help our “allies” be more secure. It’s just a raise for defense contractors who love and worship Trump.
tjha...	Fake news
jlcg...	What about modifications to taxes, revenues projections and their justifications, and the projected deficit?
teen...	It’s all about his ppl making money off the poor and middle class. They don’t want a middle class America.!
todm...	We are screwed unless Congress does something, which they will not.
csbr...	Education is a national defense issue, amazed at how willfully ignorant the maga cult really is...
kath...	President Trump openly stated what steps he planned to take when he ran for election. He told us what he would do and what he would cut back and what he would eliminate. Obviously enough people supported his position. Now, the biased and self-serving media report as though he is running rogue, and no one supports him, which as usual, is lies. Right now, I support him whole heartedly. Time will tell if my support continues. I can assure you that the American media's opinions do not reflect the public and they do not influence my opinion or my support of President Trump. They never will.
usct...	GOP looking in all the wrong places for bloated government. Most programs have been cut to the bone, except the military industrial complex. That is where cuts should take place. Especially if we break ties with allies and isolate from the rest of the world. If we do that we do not need 9 carrier battle groups.
r2d2...	I think he is cutting too many valuable programs. We do need to make some cuts, but National Pks, NPR, NOAH, USAID and other research science based programs should be very carefully examined before the cuts are made. These cuts could backfire and cost up in the long run.
djse...	This budget is postured for preparing to go to war. Dramatically increase in weapons purchases with war time deficits.
regi...	It is sad to hear that we need more weapons and schools and health and the environment may suffer.
loui...	The government doesn’t care what happens to the other 98% of its people - The oligarchs can afford groceries, flood insurance, rebuilding of homes destroyed by ever increasing natural disasters- they have millions so they don’t need social services and can educate their children privately They want to destroy the working class and force women to have babies with no support so the 98% can do the manual work long held by our immigrant population since they are deporting as many as possible We are in a dystopian world right now which I DIDN'T VOTE FOR!
mike...	Ridiculous ignorance by the facist
ckin...	We need to rebalance our government focus to its core purpose to protect and defend our Civil liberties and get out of managing people’s lives.
teri...	He has no idea what he is doing nor does he care about the constitution or the American people.
olga...	God will have no mercy on him and we will be F.
jefe...	Any reduction is a good reduction. All the recent investigation have shown the extensive waste in government. The federal government is too big and needs to be reduced.
svge...	There needs to be a huge cut in spending and national security is more important than international development!
shal...	Defense spending is already a bloated and corrupt cow. To cut the EPA and other public safety agencies is to deny a public safety net for children and the poor. Also, his budget includes a massive tax cut for corporations and billionaires, which should have been highlighted in your question.
alde...	This is the worst decision in history we are going to become the worst dictatorial military country without any services and social programs are humans are going to have a poorer quality of living with higher costs the taxpayers will pay the price and the rich and people will become richer and they will get tax cuts everything is going terrible education is going to be dismantled and will become the dumbest nation in the world that people will start dying cuz it won't be any health care the environment will start to be destroyed everything is ruined
gail...	Social programs, education and the environment need increases not to be dismantled
jame...	Deficit Deficit Deficit
miah...	In an ideal world, without the threat of war, we would be investing in environment and social and education reform. This is not that world sadly. The threat of war seems very possible. The Time of irresponsible spending needs to end.”, for all of us.
e.cl...	Clown show keeps going.
annk...	This is the right direction
cica...	This guy’s a nut job
mari...	When will the government focus on eliminating legacy equipment,wasteful programs and inefficient and ineffective programs? People with demonstrated capabilities and leadership are needed. Increasing their budget is just another way to add fuel to a burning building
tubi...	that budget is clearly based on donor input and dumb donald will do anything to maintain the perception of being the center of attention.
ebr....	He’s unqualified and that’s putting it nicely.
pjpa...	The Federal government is not immune to downsizing here’s the eye opening facts: 12 of the last 16 years have been under democrat leadership/policies & our National debt has almost quadrupled from $10 trillion to $36 trillion & Biden hired 700,000 new federal employees in his term, his budget averaged around $7 TRILLION/year while Trump’s was $4 Trillion & Federal employee millionaires grew by 228% in 4 years
shri...	Cuts in essential programs to cut taxes for the wealthy. Use of the budget to punish political/cultural rivals.
kear...	The federal budget is way over bloated. Cuts are painful, but absolutely necessary.
elgo...	It’s just a hot mess.
wvme...	We need to focus on social services because theyvate always the programs that are left underfunded and cannibalized. Our military has no need to grow - we just need an administration that knows how to EFEECTIVELY use them.
dhun...	Trumps desire for power is a danger to our country
jmbe...	The DOGE cuts and Trump's ridiculous tariffs are a sham which the Liar-in-Chief is using to "justify"--through this budget and the tax cuts he is bent on preserving--breaking his own record for increasing US debt by way more than any US President in history. If he were serious about eliminating governmental waste and abuse he would focus DOGE's efforts on the Defense Department, where most of it exists. Those MAGA fans who continue to worship him and to support his cruel, vindictive, and totally "unChristian" policies need to wake up and join the resistance!
jane...	I think he’s the worst President in the history of this country by far and he’s an even worse human being. The sooner he is gone the better. No redeeming qualities.
joan...	These cuts are absolutely necessary. We are on verge of bankruptcy!!!!! There is so much waste and corruption that must be curtailed! This is a non partisan issue and both parties have contributed to the problem!
dbri...	We need radical fiscal change or the country is doomed. I believe Elon Musk statement on our financial situation stands. Unfortunately, because of the communist axis of China, Russia, & North Korea, we must first ensure the Reagan principle of peace thru strength before changing to the balanced budget approach. Iran/Islamist Jihad issue
john...	Over 50% of tax dollars goes towards the military already. The US already spends more on the military than the next 9 big spending countries COMBINED, and most of them were until recently allies. This is where cuts should be made as they could be significant. If they cut everything that makes America great what is there left for this mighty military to defend?
ednc...	Nobody benefits but the rich!😠
dybn...	I believe that spending has to be reduced, but in a manner that does not reduce services that are important, but focuses on inefficiency, fraud and those in terms of entitlement reassessing to make sure there is assistance for needed, but all having some skin in the game. Investing in updated technology can help. Eliminating or reducing programs that work for long time better good of all is short sighted. Military waste should be a focus. Use $$ saved to enhance important needs. The wholesale cutting without looking at consequences both long term and short term is dangerous, inefficient and immoral. This is a government for the people and not a business that can have singular goals.
lggr...	We have a responsibility to be a good global citizen a help those nations that are not as lucky as the U S.
jllm...	When we’ve cut off all the funds to our best and brightest and have to deal with everyone else’s research to grow as a nation we’re done
gray...	Seem like we are going backwards?
dibi...	We don’t need a militarized country full of morons.
geor...	The courts will determine if all the federal agencies that Trump is trying to close can be closed as they were created by Congress. So his budget that doesn’t include enough monies for these agencies to stay open is a joke!
celt...	China is allocating much more than anyone towards their military. Do some investigative reporting and compare what other countries spend vs the US.
don2...	I do not agree with all the cuts to many of our much needed programs. I am also very unhappy with the presidents authoritarian tendencies and many of his cabinet selections. I feel that his agenda is not in the best interest of the mainstream American person and directed toward his Billionaire cabinet and friends. I am an independent and this is not about being a Republican or Democrat rather it is about leading our country in the right direction of which I strongly believe that he is not doing that. His words and careless attitude prove that and I am sad about the situation
harf...	we need environmental improvements to save our ozone layer. We need our science research to continue to move forward on cancer and heart research as well as other terrible diseases. We need energy saving improvements and green initiatives!!! Yes we need a strong military, but that is not the MAIN focus here. We need some school programs for the underprivileged and poor. Trump moved in too fast and cut too many jobs without thinking of the people and the effects it would have on all of us!!! We do not want a recession. We need a lot of the programs he is going to get rid of. He can scale down some of them, but do not get rid of them totally!!
laur...	absolutely abhorrent! if he didn't piss of the world we would not need to increase defense budget. of course he wants to deny opportunities in education that are an entitlement to all leaving a good education something only the privileged can access. ARGH.
bwel...	Budget cuts to environmental and climate research, health science research (NIH) and the National Park Service will be disastrous as soon as they are in place. I am also disgusted that DOGE cut so many programs wholesale without seemingly considering the terrible consequences. I pay taxes so most of these programs and the people who implement them can stay in place.
cedr...	Focus on military is bad and even worse is sacrificing the citizens welfare. He is truly looking at North Korea as the model. Sad.
trev...	I don’t know enough about the proposed cuts to feel positively or negatively. Therefore, my feelings remain neutral.
ltro...	Environmental protection is crucial. Allot increase there and eliminate the 13 per cent increase for national security
joan...	Per usual, Trump doesn’t know politics, nor does he understand the enormous impact his cuts are causing. TRUMP IS A HEARTLESS, IGNORANT HUMAN that is devastating the GOOD NAME THAT ONCE BELONGED TO THE US OF AMERICA.
gary...	Negative!
kevm...	I believe he is building a military force that he plans to use to defend him when he refuses to leave office in 4 years.
reit...	government needs to and protect its citizens. Not MILLIONAIRES.
nanc...	Wrong in so many ways! Defunding education, scientific research, conservation, all so he can cut taxes for his cronies, the billionaires…
janb...	Trump needs to go. He is doing tremendous damage to our country’s well being
sims...	We need to concentrate on education meaning higher education affordability and job training developing a skilled workforce, our environment global warming, air quality and water quality and housing and food security
robo...	Well we needed to up our military budget. Biden gave everything away! He knows what hes doing
elys...	Raising discretionary military spending will not help with the exploding unsustainable national debt
ktil...	They’re going about cutting and eliminating the wrong way! I agree that cuts need to be made and the national debt has to be addressed, but eliminating the programs that help the people, young & old is not the answer!
chri...	Strongly disagree with cuts to discretionary spending
jamf...	It is about time a President focused on National Security!
robs...	Under the Biden Administration, our federal government has been spending $7 trillion annually. Before Biden & COVID, in 2019, our federal government was only spending $4.4 Trillion. The difference comes from new wasteful, discretionary & excessive regulatory spending in the EPA, the Dept. of Education (which is now shifting to the States) AND ludicrous & outrageous spending in U.S. AID, including illegal kickbacks paid to members of Congress and former Presidents / Oligarhs: Obama (an unprecedented $6 Million annual royalty for the name "Obamacare") and Clinton (Chelsea Clinton's $9 Million Wedding) through multiple Non Government Organizations (NGO's) in the form of money laundering schemes to hide such illegal payments from the American People uncovered & documented by DOGE. And 2/3 of this reader group is opposed to eliminating this waste & corruption?
bren...	The best offense is a good defense. China wants to dominate the US in every way they can. And right now they hold all the cards by out performing us in production, development, and certainly militarily. If we stand any chance of a level playing field with China, we need a strong defense. It’s better to have and not need than to need and not have!
bets...	Cutting funding to the future of America? (Education) to fund instead, the devastation of America (Military) especially with a head of Defense, such as Hegseth? And a taker/stealer of the budget (Musk)...it's not a win win situation; it's a Lose Lose.
neil...	When this country is in the toilet, crumbling infrastructure, non existent rapid transport and lack of affordable homes, he increases the war machine. China does everything for its people not the 1%
sooz...	While I’m initially on board for America First. Now I speculate at what cost ?? Losing environmental funding , slashing grants for the Arts ? Is it really what we should be doing ?? What future are we leaving for our grand children?
kugi...	this is absolute madness unreal anyone thinks any of this is a good idea. Please educate yourselves
ksyp...	It sucks ass.
jenn...	Several of the cuts and or freezes have effected me personally or someone within my immediate circle. I'm extremely concerned with any military/defence increases, particularly since this administration is lawless, does not give people due process and has removed US citizens from America soil.
stev...	Why do people feel this is negative? I’d like to hear the answer.
hric...	Sickening to defund human services and increase military spending. Sickening literally!!
atli...	So the only department that has never passed an audit and is likely highly corrupt, defense, will get an increase and those that actually help people and that routinely pass audit scrutiny will be cut. Sounds like an opportunity for the oligarchy.
mari...	No state that invests heavily in the military industrial complex at the cost of things that accelerate innovation in all areas of life - education, art, science, research - are places I want to live.
chiu...	Making America great again!
mds4...	Corporate handouts, social handouts or military complex handouts. Seems like the taxpayers and working people should get first choice.

Do you support Israel's airstrikes to protect the Druze community in Syria?

54% Yes, it's necessary for their safety.
46% No, it escalates regional tensions.

Email	Comments
zack...	Weird 42% are ok with genocide
bets...	Syria has been a powergrab for Isreal for a very long time. I don't support the Isreali government doing "what appears" to be right; when in essence it's fundamentally wrong. We (America) are in way over our head when it comes to our alliance with Isreal.
joll...	Israel is not to be trusted. Israel does not give a shit about human rights or human dignity. Israel bombs out of aggression not defense.
ttim...	Can’t allow a run over.
atli...	Given Israel's obvious intention to ethnically cleanse itself of Palestinians, it would be difficult to see any other reason to kill somewhere else.
jllm...	what’s wrong with protecting your own?
hada...	This article is written poorly.
jmbe...	Israel is a rogue state engaged in genocide and ethnic cleasing, led by a war criminal. How much longer will the US ally itself with Evil?
csbr...	This IDF is a state sponsored terrorist organization that needs to be eliminated by any means neccessary.
tubi...	israel can do whatever it wants, without my tax dollars involved.
caro...	N
lora...	We need to allow Israel to squash their enemies once and for all. We cannot have a safe world with these terrorist organizations in the middle east.

How likely are you to change your Medicare plan based on the outcome of this lawsuit?

57% Not likely, I’m satisfied with my current plan
43% Very likely, I will evaluate my options

Email	Comments
jllm...	Very likely
bran...	Medicare advantage plans are incentivized to maximize shareholder value, this can compromise patient health and taxpayer cost. Traditional Medicare is an effective and low cost health plan compared to private insurance.
rbco...	Health care companies continue to grow in conflict of interest as they purchase physician practices and broker services. They control nearly all of the pricing cycle and CMS gives them capabilities to make their own policies. Huge conflict of interest.
jlcg...	I determined my choice of plan based on my own analysis of the features offered by various insurers., and didn't use a broker
ttim...	I feel these benefits to me not prioritized profits.
cand...	I did some of my own research before contacting a broker and feel pretty confident the program I chose is a good one.
lora...	WE need Congress to fix Obamacare, medicare and medicaid. The Democrats stated when they approved Obamacare that if it did not work they would fix it. They have not but have enjoyed the corruption of receiving kickbacks to themselves. Consequently, 85 million Americans cannot afford health insurance.
bets...	Watching my husbands ever changing Medicare has been a nightmare. I don't know how those who are "less computer saavy" are able to navigate the system in any way; it is of course, "broker driven" which I wholeheartedly disagree with because it's a "set up" from the start.
june...	It’s not that I’m satisfied, it’s my insurance comes with my job and I don’t get many options. Satisfaction doesn’t have anything to do with it, I’m locked in anyway.
wlof...	We have a cigna plan
jsco...	It’s a huge problem in Medicare. Only 10% of seniors are receiving optimized healthcare. If you want to dig deeper contact us at Livmor.ai.

Should Apple focus more on innovation or cost-cutting to navigate market pressures?

65% Innovation
35% Cost-cutting

Email	Comments
vale...	Their stuff is still way too expensive
gwal...	We all know that Android is leading the smartphone race. Apple has been behind the game now for years.
jamf...	Apple is investing in, and coming to , America to make its products! This is huge!
jare...	Cutting costs is more likely to result in lower prices for products, a greater help for consumers.
robs...	Wow! Speaking of the impact of Trump's new Chinese tariffs on Apple: Apple's Annual Revenue is close to $400 Billion, and the impact of tariffs the U.S. is imposing on China expected to cost Apple less than $1 Billion as it shifts production to India & Vietnam! Wow! The impact of China tariffs on a huge company like Apple (which uses China's Foxcom to manufacture its iPhones) is so small, they won't even need to pass the cost of tariffs on to the consumer! This is very significant for the consumer driven U.S. economy!
mary...	No one buys an Apple product because it’s the cheaper option
celt...	Beat the Chinese at their own game.
patt...	Affordable is so important…. Seems like they could do both… there products are so smart already
whit...	Apple's brain trust is its biggest asset. It should be utilized, not reduced.
mbul...	Cost cutting is a euphemism for reducing the workforce and forcing remaining employees to work more. Because profits are NEVER enough.
jllm...	With Apple it has always been about innovation. Why change now?
jimb...	Darn phones are too complicated already
