Well, considering gubment hammers, er, "inertially enhanced impact generators" , go for around $700, I'd say that KLX351 should fetch a good 50 to 60 grand, easy.

Did you all know that in Obama's first 6 months in office our deficit has increased by 1 trillion dollars.

We are on our way into history, just like Rome.

Did you know an average South Florida firefighter with 5 years experience and no college education earns $135,000 per year with overtime....anyone see a problem with this? Oh and get this after 20 years, they get 75% of their salary as a pension. No need to take money out of their paycheck for a 401k....they just take their pension paycheck out of OUR paycheck.

Check to see what your local public servants are earning with overtime, make sure you include overtime. Could any of those people earn those wages in the real world?


Using a circle hook deej, gotta let out some slack.
I have no problem paying a guy over 100k a year with no college experience if he is running into burning buildings to rescue YOU and YOUR family. They will go back for you pets even. Hey get this, some guys do it WITHOUT PAY!

A dude at the DMV is far different than ESSENTIAL services like fire and police. The last time I checked burning houses and fires occurred in the real world. Even the guy at the DMV...and hey, another public servant, TEACHERS are living in the real world. Sheesh. Fat can be trimmed but better to start somewhere else than fire and police.

I know that some states have local scandals involving teacher pay and overtime and all that, but really the fat trimming should maybe not start there.

This thread is way out there now! I think we need an off topic thread!
