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.

knighttof3: It's also a big deal for the rest of us who are paying to keep these old folks in gambling money.

Nothing is free. Biden and Newsom are reaching into my pocket and taking whatever they want to give to asset-rich seniors who could easily afford it, but being baby boomers love freeloading.


Yeah, they're freeloaders alright, gambling away the rent money.

Except that half of all Medicare beneficiaries lived on incomes below $29,650 and one in four had incomes below $17,000. Those numbers are a couple of years old but close enough for this discussion, I reckon.

But which of the revenue streams for the cap are picking your personal pocket, exactly?
