Interesting perspective...

A GC friend of mine Dan does DOD/FBI type stuff...

Put in a SCIF door last week. $22k on the door... (that is $11k for the door and $11k on the labor (3 men @ 1 day).

Also an $8k C.O. to reinforce the wall...

That $8k... was $300 in material... one day of labor for two men.

Another friend at the NN shipyard put a SS ice cream machine in to a sub... $360k. Machine cost less than $10k.

All these guys get paid with YOUR tax dollars... or JMs.

Personally, I don't think that is sustainable... or at least... not forever.

But to each his own... I reckon.

Well, at least I know how THEY are able to make payroll.....

The biggest American problem is that government spending and healthcare is more than 50% of our economy, and there are no meaningful cost controls on any of it. Just spend, bill, spend, bill.

If we're going to make the transition to actually MAKING some stuff again, we better figure out how to make stuff on a budget (again).
