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.

Under Clinton and Obama - there were indeed instances they had Presidency, Senate, Congress.

Big Banks...are still here with 29%.

Now Trump is tweeting 10%.

And I don't see Warren and Bernie publicly unveiling the bill and saying "Come sign it sir, it's what you said you wanted"

It's about appearances.

Corporate America - is Liberal.

They just use dumb Republicans is all.

Yes CPFB was Lizzy and part of its mandate was to protect constituencies from bad culture,s poor upbringings, and who were trapped in a Liberal induced family structure, who just absolutely loved paying the higher rates and rate fees and interest on vanity bullshit purchases. But it was also used as a revenge and attack tool.

Nevertheless, 10% is Trump's public proposal.

Lizzy isn't calling his bluff and saying "here's the bill sir....sign it, I give you full credit"

That would actually *do* something.
