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.

While I still wait for those "hit 'em out of the park" answers Dementia Don provided at the Chicago Economic Club, I'll simply point out three facts:

1.) Trump has filed bankruptcy seven times.

2.) From 1985-1994, Trump lost more money than any other taxpayer in the entire United States: $1.17 billion.

3.) According to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan watchdog, Trump’s economic proposals would add a total of more than $9 trillion to the nation's debt, $4 trillion more than Harris's proposals.

To demonstrate just how batchit crazy Trump's answers were, in answer to one question he said that he should have control over decision-making of the federal reserve because he's "a very good businessman," and somebody who "used a lot of, um, sense".

Only a cult would believe the self-described "King of Debt" adding another $9 trillion to the nations debt -- on top of the $7.8 trillion he already added -- would be a better choice to lead the economy.
