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.

As usual......

Ol' Jedi is ahead of the game and this time ---much to the chagring of the Right who has to either beg to save ObamaCare now, or start the long road towards giving up such splendid political gains----gains led by Jedi Issues of trade and immigration but i digress.

politico.com - Republicans midterm obamacare subsidies expire

"Republicans could take midterm hit if Obamacare subsidies expire
As an epicenter of small business growth and the MAGA movement, Florida offers a glimpse into the potential political fallout"

BAAAAAAA "EPSTIEN!" BAAAAAAA "GARCIA!" - sheeple again tries so hard to rescue republicans. Sheeple ignores the political gold because Sheeple's meme du jour is 'garcia!'

"The red state has the highest number of Obamacare enrollees in the country, and millions of low- and middle-income residents have used the subsidies to afford health coverage since their creation in 2021. Florida, an epicenter of the MAGA movement, also has a disproportionately large number of small business owners and employees who are heavily dependent on the tax credits."

ONEPOORGUY U OUT THERE SIR? SEE NEXT PARAGRAPH

"Republicans in the most competitive districts nationally are already down three percentage points among all registered voters, according to a July survey from Trump pollster Fabrizio Ward. That deficit balloons to 15 points if the candidate lets the boosted tax credits expire."

I'd give my Left Nut to be a Democrat. I'd wait till Republicans come *begging* for ObamaCare subsidy extension and I'd ONLY do it with a tax increase..... and then it's up to Republicans ----do they want to jack up their own constituency's premiums because they wanted tax cuts?

Dems would extract a tax increase.

I'm not gonna say make the subsidies permanent. If I were a Dem i'd love for this to be an issue every few years.

Sorry Republicans, i warned against this one and guess what. many states haven't sent out official prices yet :)

Guys---do you want to give the country to AOC?
