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.

I must say I'm absolutely delighted by Scott Bessent's efforts in wasting US taxpayer funds on manipulating bond rates downwards.

The timing of this is *perfect* for accelerating some important Q3 asset sales by REITs I own. With that in mind, an open letter:

You are doing a great job, Mr Bessent, don't let Druckenmiller discourage you!

If anything you should be wasting more money! In fact waste all the money! As quick as you can! Forget the naysayers!

There's a $1 trillion cashpile in the Treasury doing *nothing* right now that could be thrown away to nudge rates down for a few weeks. Why not just do it?

Midterms are coming... follow your heart, Scotty!
