The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Trump's BBB is a flawless Robin Hood in Reverse economic scheme!
(And MAGA wonders why Democratic Socialists are winning bigly.)

"The law unleashed the biggest-ever rollback of federal programs serving the poor, while extending trillions of dollars in tax breaks disproportionately benefiting the rich."

"For every $1 cut from programs for low-income Americans, the wealthiest 1% will get about $1 back in tax breaks."

"As a result, at least 4 million people have lost food stamps so far."

"Hospitals have begun laying off workers and closing clinics."

"A February survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found that 10% of households nationwide said they had been forced to skip meals because they didn’t have enough food...
Among households making less than $50,000 a year, nearly 20% said they didn’t have enough food."

"I don't think it could be much clearer," said Sharon Parrott, president of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a think tank that analyzes federal budget and tax policy.
"They extended tax cuts for very wealthy people, they expanded tax cuts for very large estates, they put in new tax cuts for quite profitable businesses,
and they did that in the same bill that they made millions of people lose food assistance and health coverage."

Have MAGA "christians" ever even read the bible?
MAGA = Make Americans Goats Again! (See Mathew 25)
