I have always felt Trimble over-priced their product.

I always felt the opposite to Bryan Taylor with respect to product price. The support costs are very hefty for the green box...

How dare you disagree with me.

But yes Leica aint cheap - it seemed like Trimble has always been more expensive.

Not only is this stuff extremely expensive, 10 years down the road it's "No longer supported". A $20k instrument over that ten years is $2k/year or a $1 for every possible working hour whether you use it or not.
Defund govt
To fully fund govt first the national debt would have to be paid. The US Govt is $18 TRILLION in debt, using 350 million people in the USA it would require $51,000 from every man, woman and child to pay it off. And that's just the Federal debt. Did you write your check yet?
