"just going to have to buckle down and earn it". Reminds me, last evening I was watching the Glenn Beck show on CNN. He had a guest who talked about the cost pressures on airlines. Then he said some airline (co)-pilots start as low as $20,000 a year. Glenn Beck almost fell off his chair- "you mean to tell me there can be a pilot behind the door of the plane I'm on that's only being paid a $20,000 salary?" The guest said "that's right".

The factories that are left in this area pressure workers to work for less than a living wage- ala Mexico, or they'll close. They do eventually anyhow.
