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.

Which program are you thinking of? The ACA? They're already getting some blow-back for that, and even some defections of Congress-people.

Yes, as I predicted well before the ACA debate even started.

"DHS? The funding is happening NOW. So, if you are going to dig your heels in, it has to be NOW. Mid-terms would be too late"

True.


Dems are already trying to bail out the GOP on ACA subsidies. Why do so on this, this early?

The last time Trump (in an evil way) held food assistance hostage and it was one of the reasons Dems had to fold the tent.

Let him do it again---but let him do it during the Mid-Terms and give Dems an even bigger win.

Yes I know y'all play checkers. Good, have your little win.

I'm more concerned about actual lasting wins that aren't band-aids. A congressional Majority would be less a band-aid, and more a catalyst towards longer term fixes.

But I know, I'm in the minority.

Shout "king me" at Trump for the next win :) He got 2 elections - methinks he is ok with that.
