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.

Reality check...
Don't like massive debt and deficits? Don't like being lied to every single day? Don't vote for the GOP:

Remember when Trump lied to the American people and said, "I will pay down the national debt, over a period of eight years." ~DJT
"We have $21 trillion in debt. When this [the 2017 tax cut] kicks in, we’ll start paying off that debt like it’s water." ~DJT
"Because of Tariffs we will be able to start paying down large amounts of the $21 trillion in debt that has been accumulated, much by the Obama Administration." (Of course that was also lie.)

One of President Donald Trump’s lesser known but profoundly damaging legacies will be the explosive rise in the national debt that occurred on his watch.
The financial burden that he’s inflicted on our economy and government will wreak havoc for decades, saddling our kids and grandkids with interest payments and debt.

The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office. That amounts to $23,500 in new federal debt for every person in the country. (Including Babies!)

Donald Trump lied a total of 30,573 times over his 4 year presidency. Trump is a PROVEN LIAR. He's made a career of lying to people. 79% of Trump's tweets were rated False by politifact check.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me 30,573 times shame on me?...
