What is the purpose of the Twitter poll?
This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. We're going to do two things this morning. We're going to talk about a poll we did on Twitter as to whether the government should reduce spending. Second, we're going to give shout outs to a handful of people that are stalwart leaders in business and in leadership. So I'll start with the Twitter poll. We did a Twitter poll.
Who are the standout business leaders mentioned?
Should the government reduce spending? And again, Twitter seems to bias a little bit to the right, so I'm not surprised at all by this answer. We got 1,800 responses on the poll, should the government reduce spending? It essentially came up with this, that 78% voted the government should reduce spending, 22% didn't agree that the government should reduce spending. I am not sure. As I parsed through all the stuff going on with Doge and And the Trump administration, I'm not sure that we actually will reduce spending in any serious way or not. I know we need to. But at least a large percentage of the country, at least based on this survey, which is completely unscientific, believe 78% believe that we should reduce government spending. I found the whole exercise fascinating.
What's also fascinating is on Twitter, you get all kinds of comments from the crazies on every side of the aisle. And it's great fun for me to watch that. A special shout out today to three of my close business colleagues, Howard Sutker, Nancy Temple, and Kelly Jo MacArthur, three incredible leaders. I'll also give a special shout out to two of the funds I've had a chance to work with. Shore Capital Partners and Aqualine, two amazing groups of people and movers and shakers. So that's our shout out for today. Thank you for listening to the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast.
