Hey Bill,
I keep asking myself, what exactly is there to reveal? He says prices are going down, but we all know that’s not how inflation works. Prices can rise more slowly, but they don’t magically go back down just because inflation comes down. And yet, he keeps saying they are.

And then there's the drug-price thing. He's repeatedly talked about cutting drug prices by 400%, 500%, 600%, even 1,000%. That's not how percentages work. A 100% reduction would mean the price is zero. You can't reduce a price by 1,000% unless you start paying the customer to take the drug.

And that's actually why I keep wondering whether the guy in the song is deliberately creating the illusion or whether he really believes it himself. Maybe he really does. A lot of the things in the song seem to fit that same pattern.

Bill, I’d really love to hear your thoughts on the song itself.

All the best,
Robert
