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.

I've read some different estimates on what the Iran War is costing the USA.

iran-cost-ticker.com: Iran War Cost Tracker
this site shows a cost of $113,000,000,000 so far.

americanprogress.org - Fact sheet costs of the trump administrations war in iran
this site shows a cost of $150,000,000,000.

And with Iran's allies getting involved deeper, it is certain that the costs are going to keep rising.

Trump has been a disaster, but that is not a surprise. Congress letting Trump run amok like a bull in a china shop is the real disaster. Congress is derelict in their duties. And we all will keep paying the price for this debacle, long into the future.
