sorry, but the fact of the matter is, ALL salaries for the middle and lower wage type jobs have been going down, all of them, and at some point the ridiculous salaries of executives, be it profit or none, (and I am sorry to say, that includes administrators for educational institutions) have to come down too.

It is interesting that this gets the dander up of some people. It is ok to reduce the standard of living for some Americans, and certainly the younger generation, but when it comes after YOU, it's always a different story.
