I think our shock at it is more a reflection of pay scales not keeping up with the increasing expense than it is anything else.

exactly... How in the heck can so many people afford a $65,000 truck. I mean a truck? It damn truck cost more then a corvette.

When I started driving you could get a PowerStroke 1 Ton for $19,000 That truck starts at $50,000 in only 20 years. Inflation and wages have not gone up near that.
