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.

I continue to believe Harris's ground game is superior to Trump.

She has better people running her life, and her campaign: Pelosi, Schumer, Obama. Goldman Sachs. Cheney. Wolfie. NeoCons. Like them or not they are good - well funded - and their tentacles are all over the place.

I'd love to laugh and laugh and laugh like I did the night of 2016, I really want to again next week but I am not getting my hopes up even a little.

In other news ObamaCare plan went up to $1850 ish for 2025 for me.

But the subsidy (included in my 1850) total also got bumped to $900 something.

If she wins, hopefully she'll send more money my way.

By golly the government only paid me $3,500 in a Federal Refund last year + approx $9600 in Obama subsidy + the 2000 refund at the end.

If you're gonna pay me $15,100 for the privilege of me being a citizen, I expect a higher level of service.

Nope, nothing Bass Ackwards here but as I said in 2005 on TMF: One day I'll be taking taking taking. Beats the $200k yearly income tax I used to pay.

I worry she hasn't mentioned the AOTC. Upto $1000 of it is refundable (college tuition handout from Uncle Sam). I wouldn't get the remaining $1500 because as a low income American I don't pay taxes. Hopefully Harris beefs it up but it's not being talked about so who knows it might go away. Can't win em all.

Well, yeah, I can. One way or the other :)
