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.

The Big Beautiful Budget Bill is 1 step closer to fruition, as the MAGA GOP worked in the dark of the night to shove it thru with as little transparency as possible.

Don't ever want to hear another claim from GOP that they are the "fiscally responsible" party.

Moody's downgraded US credit rating based on this budget bill being passed, looks like they
got 1 right. This will blow up the national debt, of course. And this is dangerous, as the US is not at war, or in the middle of a pandemic. We are backing ourselves further and further into a corner.
Anybody ever hike The Narrows, in Zion National Park ? Awesome hike, you hike and wade thru
the Virgin River, as canyon walls get narrower and narrower until the river goes underground
and you're staring at approximately 1000 foot cliff walls, with no way out except to turn around. America is metaphorically doing this as we speak.

presidency.ucsb.edu - Federal budget receipts and outlays

this link shows the deficits that have been run up under each President.
Trump was blowing the debt up even before Covid hit. He is doing a
"here, hold my beer, you ain't seen nothin yet" act 2 now. Tariff revenue
ain't gonna make a dent in the avalanche of irresponsible debt Trump is foisting
on present and future Americans.

Party of fiscal responsibility, my ass.
