Found on Reddit: Repost from another source: the heritage foundation is trying to launder data in support of DOGE by sending a survey to only their supporters and using blatantly leading questions. the survey takes less than 5 minutes and they don't verify your email

It's also still a push poll designed to influence opinion as much as measure it. That's what they want you to prioritize budget cuts among a shortlist of agencies they selected, with things like "increase budget instead" or "cut some other agency like ICE instead" not being presented as options. It's also why they tell you about cheery-picked and misrepresented "real-life uses of taxpayer dollars" to try to rile you up to further support their treasonous sabotage.

Frankly, even responding with opposite of expected choices to try to poison the data probably helps them more than it hurts because they can still tout your response as supporting budget cuts to the listed agencies.
