BK>>  I have a solution to the national debt, welfare, and the crime

BK>> full employment, not 5% is full balony.

 RW> WOuld agree, and qualitty employment.

 If you have low unemployment, employers will have to compete for
 workers. You will have quality employment.

 They will, once. Then hunger comes back and they realize they
 will not get enough, ever, until they break free. It's been that
 way often enough. The French and Mexican revolutions are cases
 in point.

BK>>  Worth considering. Do they have 12 volt units?

 RW> NOpe, I checked.  Total power consumption 400 watts.  4

 RW> the inefficiency of the inverter factored in we're drawing
 RW> 30-35 amps.  That means hours on the machine if mains power

 Sounds more like 40+ amps.

 Or a generator. That sounds more practical for long term work.
