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.

Since the government started keeping track in 1939.

'In particular, Pence said the U.S. workforce added millions of jobs since the early days of the outbreak because of Trump's fiscal and regulatory policies. He said:

We're going through a pandemic that lost 22 million jobs at the height, we've already added back 11.6 million jobs, because we had a president who cut taxes, rolled back regulation and unleashed American energy, fought for free and fair trade. [...] We literally have spared no expense to help the American people and the American worker through this.'

Federal spending shot up under both Presidents Trump and Biden, as trillions were spent on economic stimulus, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. The total national debt stood at $27.7 trillion on the day of Biden's inauguration, and has increased by over $3 trillion since then, according to the Treasury Department.'
