I think I pretty clearly stated that this was a supply and demand issue, as well as the constraints professors are faced with in terms in paying graduate students more. The amount of research we do would dramatically decrease if we were made to pay higher wages. I'm fine with that but I simply wouldn't receive funding in the current environment if I said I was going to do less.
Academia is special because we are the last bastion of actual research. Industry, much to our consternation, has cut down on R&D to the point where it's almost non-existent. Bell labs, etc. simply does not do the type or amount of R&D that would lead to their previous discoveries, like the BJT transistor. This is my experience in working with government and industry labs.
