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.

"As an independent
Sure, lol. "

ok, ya got me. i always vote in both primaries and sneak into your local school board election.
if it works for your filter, i also think there will be minimal substance at the dem primaries. however, an appearance by RFKjr would up my entertainment prediction.

as for substance, that is a fair question. i would like to see something original on the way of the debt and deficits.
the dems dont mind spending on military, as long as most everything else they want also increases.
the GOP still rides their fake legacy marketing on fiscal responsibility but 1. only on the dem's 'special interests' and 2. never if the GOP is in the executive branch.
they can fix their credibility by someday ACTUALLY enacting equal cuts across the board, especially if a GOP is president. but that's laughable other than them trying to redefine 'equal'.

except for the small blip under clinton, i expect the inflation-adjusted trend of every presidential term to outspend the previous no matter who is in office.
