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.

Lambo,

You didn't earn enhanced Biden-era ACA premium subsidies, which was what the Dems shutdown the government for for six weeks.

I get it.

Lots and lots of people who are benefitting from the enhanced ACA subsidies are folks like yourself--fed or state/local government employees or their family members, who are in no financial need whatsoever, and who stand to reap real financial benefits. And who also vote and contribute heavily to Democrats.

So, it's just another form of Democrat money laundering.

Got it.

Republicans need to hold the line on this issue. Go ahead shut down the government again on January 30, 2026. Just try it.

If the numbers were laid out clearly it would be obvious why the Dems thought this was worth shutting the government down for six weeks.
