[QUOTE="Harry Knutz, post: 2769925, member: 123671"] You are right, Heavy equipt mechanic at a Dealership. But a kid putting books away at a library or slinging burgers for $19.00 an hour at Mickey D's cant afford to rent a house or let alone buy one when rents around here are close to $2000.00 a month and house payments are about the same for a lower end middle class home. That is why I said wages have not kept pace with inflation. I paid $105,000 for my first house in 1993, I could have bought a house for $60,000 at the time, But my wife was one of those high maintenance types and she wasn't gonna settle for less, That turned out to be an excellent investment as it was in a sought after neighborhood and I sold it for a lot. Powder at the local gun shop was about $14.00 per pound at the time. I do agree that these component companies saw what was happening and gouged while they could, But they can only do that for so long, And those that were willing to pay those ridiculous prices are the ones that caused the problem.
