I graduated from college in 2004 and my starting salary was $50,000. With inflation I could definitely see it at $65,000 today. In some of the bigger cities with bigger companies where cost of living is crazy high I can see high starting salaries. I hear that stock trading companies pay crazy high salaries to their developers.
There is actually a really simple solution to all of this. The biggest complaint I have with all this is not that Gay people want to be legally joined. It is that the government has given special legal status and rights to a religious ceremony, marriage.
The best thing the country can do is pass a law that converts all marriages to civil unions, and grants all legal rights formally granted to marriages, to civil unions, and then remove those rights from marriage. Marriage goes back to being a religious ceremony with no legal status or rights like it should be.
Then religious people no longer have a complaint about marriage being redefined and gay people get all the legal rights they want. We can define Civil union however we want because religion is no longer involved.
Lets imagine the roles are reversed and it is a Republican President skirting a Democrat controlled congress and sending down proclamations. Are you going to be happy about that? The answer is no. It does not matter what party president is from, we must honor the Constitution and follow the rules or it will be bad for all of us.
except that the change is not quick. If suddenly the price of gas jumps it may be months or years before a person can afford to buy a better car. Not to mention the time it takes for the car companies to tool up to meet demand for fuel efficient cars. Buying a car is not like buying laundry detergent. You just can't switch over to a new car rapidly enough to adapt to rapid changes in the price of fuel.
Yet another situation where the failures of market economics is laid bare. This is a situation where only government has the ability to do the correct thing for the public good.
Actually that's not true either, their are other modes of transportation that one can use while waiting to save up for the new car (ie, the bus, car pool, a bike, walking, etc). Said person could also down size and get a scooter or motorcycle, they are less than a new can and get better gas mileage.
In fact, if you were really concerned about the environment you would not be driving a car in the first place, public transportation, walking, bicycling, and scooters are much better for our planet.
The free market is always the best way, with limited government intervention to prevent corporate monopolies, and abuse.

The great wall of china is 5,500 miles long. If they could build that a thousand years ago, surely we could do better now?
