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.

POTUS has said, out loud, repeatedly, that he wants to raise enough revenue with tariffs, to repeal the income tax. I take him at his word, on that issue.

Apologies up front to Jim. I know you did nothing more than re-post these words so I could see them from some blocked poster.

A rhetorical question, really, as I will never see the reply unless someone again reposts it, which is not something I am asking for, but given IIRC Trump has essentially written in his book The Art of the Deal how stupid telling the truth is when a lie will get you closer to your goal, why oh why would you believe a word he states, either verbally or written? Completely illogical.
