According to a study conducted in late April by the U.S. Department of Education and the National Institute of Literacy, 32 million adults in the U.S. can’t read. That’s 14 percent of the population. 21 percent of adults in the U.S. read below a 5th grade level, and 19 percent of high school graduates can’t read.
The current literacy rate isn’t any better than it was 10 years ago. According to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy (completed most recently in 2003, and before that, in 1992), 14 percent of adult Americans demonstrated a “below basic” literacy level in 2003, and 29 percent exhibited a “basic” reading level.
I've given up on what the "polls" say or rely on trusting the outcomes... simply because our Nation is filled with a bunch of idiots.

Lane: So it’s a massive tax cut, but then that runs against your pledge to not increase the deficit because you can’t, you know.
Trump: No, because, no, because a tax cut will spur growth.
Lane: Yes, that is true, and there is dynamic scoring.
Trump: The growth, the growth will be so much that it’ll be —
Lane: Yes, but history has shown that you can’t just cut. It does spur growth, but it won’t pay for itself. History has shown that.
Trump: Well, history has also shown the opposite. I mean, you’ve had it both ways. It has shown both ways.
Lane: Which time have you been able to cut and out of growth cut —
Trump: Well, during Reagan, during Reagan, during his cuts, he — tremendous growth.
Lane: It spurred growth, but it also ballooned the deficit.

Republicans are focused on tax reform. Everybody loves cutting taxes. It's an easy win, they just need to iron out the details.
Then:
President Trump punts DACA to Congress.
President Trump punts Iran to Congress.
President Trump punts Obamacare to Congress.
And:
President Trump declares that he's going to look at welfare reform.
Lots of luck!
Hasta pronto, porque la vida no termina aqui...
America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.
