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.

Orange Jesus has reached the point in his campaign where he is literally promising anything and everything to anyone and everyone.

Today in Detroit, speaking to the Detroit Economic Club, he said he would propose making interest on car loans fully tax deductible. He has also said he will eliminate taxes on various forms of income, including overtime work, tipped wages and Social Security benefits. And cut taxes for the wealthy. And cut taxes for corporations.

He has not said much about paying for any of it or about cutting spending.

Well, except for eliminating the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Weather Service, and the Office of Oceanic And Atmospheric Research, especially prescient cuts in light of back-to-back devastating weather events.

Evidently Orange Jesus didn't think adding $7.8 trillion to the national debt in four years was enough.

Clever man.

How clever? This clever:

TRUMP: "The whole country's gonna be like, you want to know the truth? It'll be like Detroit. Our whole country will be like Detroit if she's your president. You're gonna have a mess on your hands."

Remember, he's speaking to Detroit's business executives.

AUDIENCE: Stone cold silence.

The man can read a room, can't he?
