I'm sure you think so but an objective observer cannot help but note that you are comparing a future hope against real prices being reported by a real citizen this moment.

When looking at lower drug prices, you can do just that. Take a single product, cite the Trump-induced cost reduction and praise Trump for that. But don't manage their healthcare one drug at a time. And even if people did, all Americans do not participate equally in the Trump drug-specific reductions.

While a lot of Trump supporters are hailing reduced drug costs, they are misleadingly overgeneralizing from some drugs to all drugs and from some Americans to all Americans.

As a practical matter, no one manages their personal healthcare one drug at a time. And no one says they have or don't have a good healthcare plan in place (self-paid or insured), based on one expense alone. In the real world, people have a healthcare budget, or a healthcare expense total. They evaluate the Trump healthcare good or bad based on that.

Given the millions of people whose healthcare insurance has been priced beyond their reach under Trump, he's not going to fare well in the healthcare scores people give him based on their personal experience.

Now, this is where muttly responds with a poll or Grok snip -- out of context -- that presents a narrow fact and makes Trump look good. That's called intentional ignorance. It matters not at all what real Americans in real life are experiencing with their full healthcare situation. It is very convenient to argue devoid of real-world context.

List 10 things to cut that the Left would approve to reduce the debt.

I don't have 10 off the top of my head.

The first change I would make would be to reverse the tax cuts given to millionaires and billionaires. That alone would cover a good chunk of it.

Massive reform in the way defense contracts are awarded and maintained would also be on the list. That would weed the corruption out of the process but keep our troops equipped and systems in place.

Raise Social security retirement age

Cut subsidies for large-scale agribusiness

I don't mind that the Department of Education has been abolished or nearly so. I do mind that Trump is sending money to Chile that slaps the faces of American farmers.

Didn’t the Left whine about Musk consulting about the waste fraud and abuse?

The left complained about Musk and DOGE, yes. I do not know if they complained specifically about "consulting about the waste fraud and abuse."

There you go again. Lifting a fact or two out of the soup and using it to proclaim all is well. This is a logical fallacy formally known as hasty generalization. It's also a cognitive distortion known as overgeneralization.

I'm sure muttly is in reality a nice person, so I will forgive him for his ridiculous statements. He really cant help himself due to having a severe case of brainwashing.

I do not know the man beyond what he posts here. I do sometimes wonder if he is a happy man.

You think the Left would be for raising the retirement age? No
