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.

"Maybe it's time for Biden in "an official act as President" to have the Mint roll a few trillion dollar coins down to the treasury with the order to use them to fund the government in this "state of emergency."

That is funny, it reminds of reading the story about how Trump's Dad went into one of his Atlantic City casinos ( before he BK'd it ) and bought about $3 Million worth of tokens. Never gambled with any of them.

The NJ Gaming Commision was investigating whether Trump was funded up to the levels the NJGC demanded. He wasn't. He lied about the assets he had backing the place, and the NJGC was hard on his tail digging into it. So Big Daddy Trump came in and basically gifted him $3 Million. Now the casino appeared to be funded to the levels set by NJGC.

But Big Daddy Trump has no affiliation with the casino whatsoever, according to all of the legal documents that Trump was required to file when he purchased it. Which made the $3 Million a gift. Which exceeds the amount that can be gifted tax free, by a country mile. Which means Trump should have paid tax on that $3 Million. And here's a shocker, he didn't, lol. So just another tax fraud scheme hatched by our incoming President.

So I'd luv to see Biden pull a Trump, lol.
