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.

Does America need Iran's revolutionary guard----to come effect Regime Change here?

Everyone has their own idea of what constitutes "waste". To a "JC" any spending that benefits Proles, is, by definition "waste". "JCs" will agree, that giving the money to *them* would be an "investment", not "waste".

One of the candidates for Gov in Michigan right now, is saying he will eliminate the state income tax, by eliminating "waste fraud and abuse", and take two cents out of every dollar the state spends. Michigan spends $35.6B on heath and human services, and $21B on public education. The "JCs" would be fine with having all that spending eliminated, and the money given to them instead, while the Proles, whose services were taken away, were given a lecture on "personal responsibility".
