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.

would be curious to hear if anyone thinks trump\MAGA\GOP can do any specific short-mid term damage to the tax-free sector.
am aware that broad tax cuts to individuals and corporations make it relatively unappealing.
could it be somewhat of a haven from chaos ?

points :
1. am unaware of any specific trump family member or crony looking to grift in this area.
2. most of the tax-free market are state+local gov groups with control of their own financing structure, not much reliant on fed trickle-down budgeting other than when initiating a project based on matching funds.
3. re-writing tax codes to make these groups taxable and compete with corporate bonds seems unlikely and not of interest to any faction.
