8100's are a sweet engine, but their parts are quite 8100 specific and harder to come by.

Who knows, I'm just a dumb liberal.
But it ok to spend money we dont have to give people who are to lazy to go get a job?

Thanks for the information. Did the skinny front tire bother you street driving? I daily drive this thing. I also don't have ABS, yay 80's tech!

Serious question not tryn to start anything.
When I say make enough on the LT1, I mean money wise. Im flipping it after I have in running shape. As for the Buick, I think I can make in the upper 400's rwhp and hoping to run 10s at 125ish.

and LT1 FTW!
Thanks for the input. Ill look into that size.

absolutely not. that only way to make people want to get off welfare is to make them uncomfortable in poverty.

i'm comfortable with hand-ups, not handouts. help people get off welfare. if you don't, you end up with generational welfare abusers that have nothing to do but vandalize **** and pro create.

Education here will not improve with more money thrown at it. You could build a $10m classroom and stuff it full of iPads, desks that send students' vital signs straight to the NSA, and omniscient computers, or whatever the ****, and its graduates would still be dipshits because of the system that is in place.

the 496 is still ok. I might just put lower compression heads on the engine, a moderate cam and out it back in the truck and use it for work.

Did I say it was anywhere? The topic was defense spending. But if you want to hear my opinion on social programs they do need reform, we spend too much there too. Contrary to popular belief though most people in those entitlement programs actually have jobs and the disturbing part of that to me is that you can work a full time job and still not make to much to be eligible for government assistance. What does that say about our wages vs cost of living? Does that bother anyone else?

Absolutely. Cutting funding definitely won't help, though. This is getting a bit too political guys.

Agreed, no child left behind and the standardized testing is bullshit.

Yup every defense agency has a roll some may over lap each other and i thats the case then yes cut those specific budgets but to lower military pay amd take away benefits from our troops isn't right.
The enlisted folks has the highest stressed jobs in the military averaging 40k a year but i guess congress thinks 40k a year is too much. Sry i tried to end this convo but i couldn't stay away.

True but paying teachers a better salary and establishing better guidelines should fix that and yet that takes more money

Corporate money runs Washington and the only people who can pass a law to make that illegal are taking corporate money, so we're pretty much fucked no matter what.

like I said before, watch msnbc and fox news. if there is one person they are both saying not to vote for, that's who you need to vote for.
