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.

A failing republic with a bloated and corrupt military establishment, with extreme wealth disparity, led by an ignorant demagogue, is a recipe for collapse.

Don't forget, we are also bankrupt thanks to Trump...

"Trillion-Dollar Interest Payments Are the New Norm"
"Spending for net interest payments on the public debt surpassed $1 trillion for the first time in FY 2025."
"Interest costs on US public debt may reach $2.2 trillion per year over the next decade."

The explosion of the national debt under Trump's administration is an act of intergenerational theft.
By financing tax cuts for the wealthy with unprecedented debt, Trump is effectively shifting the costs of political expediency onto future generations.
His approach demonstrates fiscal recklessness cloaked in populist rhetoric.
Far from "Making America Great", his policies erode our long-term stability, elevate interest burdens, and reduce future governments’ ability to respond to crises.
In essence, Trump's debt policies betray the principle of responsible governance by prioritizing temporary applause over enduring prosperity.
