Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : With Social Security, health programs, and Medicare topping the spending list, they could be on the commission's chopping block.
50% : However, Medicare and Social Security are forms of mandatory spending that would require legislation to change.
46% : "While neither Trump, Musk, nor Ramaswamy has made clear which departments could be on the chopping block, Trump has targeted the Department of Education in the past, saying in 2023: "One other thing I'll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington DC, and sending all education and education work and needs back to the states.
27% : While DOGE can advise Trump on agencies to cut, the president-elect cannot act on it alone -- making major changes to federal agencies would require congressional approval.
