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.

Normally I would give six months to a year before thinking it's Trump's economy, but he's making rash and extraordinary moves - so the economy is his from here on out. Example: Trump cuts off Venezuela's limited export of oil to USA - which is expected to increase the price of oil, which should increase the price of gas. That's just one of many - too many moves, too quickly.

Agreed. Normally, it would be the previous administration's budget until -I think- November. But with all the firings, canceling of contracts, tariffs, and more (like the Venezuelan oil, that I honestly didn't know about), the Felon has taken ownership of the economy several months early. It isn't really the Biden economy anymore. And if Congress actually passes that bill with the tax cuts, it really will be divorced completely from what was working quite well for the prior two years.**

**Biden left a growing economy, growing job numbers, inflation that was near pre-pandemic lows, etc.
