Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : But it gets better, I see the smiling face of Rick Scott with the same ad claiming he has always fought to protect Medicare.
54% : Kathleen Callard, RNBS, North Fort MyersThank you, Sally Lam for describing so clearly "the far-right Republican Study Committee which includes about two-thirds of all House Republicans and just released a 2025 budget plan which calls for dramatic cuts to business regulation, Social Security, Medicaid, and calling for more than $5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich."
52% : We never thought we would enter our "golden years" worried about living under a dictator who wants to cut Social Security, Medicare and veteran's benefits.
50% : But wait there's more, this is the same guy who has proposed to sunset Medicare every five years where Congress would take it up all over to see if it continues.
46% : Apparently, the gov. and his sycophants didn't put much thought into this, or they did and are willing to take the chance by going down this road in an attempt to appear tough on immigration.
44% : "Trump wants mass deportations to be modeled after the 1.3 million Eisenhower deportations.
29% : This is the same guy whose Columbia/HCA was levied a 1.7 billion dollar fine by the federal government for systemically defrauding Medicare and Medicaid.
24% : Now we see Trump going for another delay!
17% : Trump lies without giving it a second thought.
