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.

Kamala is a light weight who can't beat Trump on the issues,...

I agree with much of what you say, but not this. You're always talking about prosperity and security. The convict provides neither. We have history. Kamala is untested, but part of an administration that has provided both. Economy is humming along. Security ties with our allies are MUCH improved since 2020. And until Congress changes the law, the southern border is what it is (as was explained several months ago).

Obviously there are factors that no POTUS can control, but will get the credit/blame for anyway. But four more years of what we've had the past four years would be great. Just need to let tax cuts for the obscenely wealthy expire, and a few other details, to get the deficit under control. Or at least more control then when the convict had the reins ($8.4T committed over 10 years). Even allowing for COVID, he was anything but a debt hawk.
