People cost a ton -- $100g + 30% for benefits.  I use round numbers: in 
my 9 years since college, the "average joe" has gone from expecting 
roughly $45K, then to $60K, now kids out of school expect $75K.

I know it sucks, but you really can make a case for replacing people 
with dumb software -- people are amazingly expensive to maintain :-)
