51% : The combination of a frequently-failed millionaire of limited intellect (Donald Trump) with an authentic multi-billionaire ($400 billion) sporting a genius-level IQ (Elon Musk) augurs poorly for all citizens who are not of the billionaire class.
48% : Thanks to the drug price reforms in the Inflation Reduction Act, Medicare will implement an annual $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket costs beginning in January 2025.
48% : We were told during this last election that everyone loved their private health insurance and that the mean lady was going to take it all away from us if we voted for her.
46% : The departments to be subsumed and absorbed into the Oval Office are: Defense, Energy, Homeland Security, Justice, State and Treasury.
44% : Trump, Musk and Putin.

34% : As the Associated Press reported, Mangione "likely was motivated by his anger at what he called 'parasitic' health insurance companies and a disdain for corporate greed."
16% : The job Musk bought for himself (with his many millions of dollars he spent to help Trump win) is supposedly about government efficiency and elimination of waste in government spending.
9% : The credit for the fall of Assad's government was his idea as much as it was not that of George Walker Bush, Barack Obama or Donald Trump.
