There may be many problems with the current system but earning power is pretty darn low on the list. Fact is if school was cheaper, hospitals were run without so many administrators then what the average Dr earns currently would be more than sufficient. Heck it still is.
84% of Americans earn less than a Dr, they too have debts, they are suffering through the biggest housing crisis ever seen. Negative equity is a way of life for millions of Americans and yet we have people like 333 who are against helping them through government stimulus, yet here he is advocating that the top 15% earnings in America get a pay raise instead of making things cheaper all around.
Millions of Americans carry huge debt compared to their income too. If anything the Dr has a debt worth having IMO. If you were to ask me would i rather have a 300K mortgage and a 50K job or 300K student debt and a 150K job what do you think would be the smart choice? get a grip Dr's. Yes you work hard, you work long hours and you deserve to be compensated for it. Hence you earn more than 84% of Americans. That is fair and reasonable. If school is too expensive then lets decrease those costs for all.
