Also as a side note marginally related to this pay discussion: Look at how everything in your life has gone up except one thing... Auto gas has gone up, your electric bills have gone up, property taxes, soda, food, movies; basically everything in your day to day life has gone up (with inflation or not) drastically compared to 10 years ago.

Now look at your pay. The "dual income effect" has run it's course. Think back to when your parents got by with only 1 income. Now with the family units and their dual income just to live at the previously accepted standard of living; it is my opinion that things need to change. Pay needs to come into line with the reality of our curent world. The dollar is falling and ression is looming... Where will we be in another 10 years?
