If a complete collection of every mint produced coin in 2006 cost $15,000..how much next year?

I recently read an article stating that had you bought 1 of every coin/set released by the USMint in 2006 it would have cost you a few bucks shy of $15,000...wow. I will be the first to admit that I love the new coin designs but this seems a bit much. I get frustrated also because there is no way that I can keep up with them and collect the coins for the sets that I have been working on for years. I wonder if this constant influx of new designs and programs will start to temper collector interest. Now I hear that in 2007 not only will we be getting our usual P&D mint coins and Clad and Silver S mint coins {20 state quarters alone} also the platinum in 4 denominations,Gold Eagles in 4 , the silver eagle-- but now presidential dollars..P,D and S-proof{can satin finishes be far behind?} but they are trying to get approval to mint silver proofs of these coins too{and I'm sure a few non-proofs would follow in silver}. Let's not forget the First Lady $5 gold pieces too..MS and proof. I know your thinking..What about the Gold Buffalo/Indian head $50 gold piece?...well you'll be happy to know that they will continue it..and extend it to include the other denominations like the Gold Eagle..no kidding. Anyhow, after saying all of that I am looking forward to the release of the 2007 commemorative coin for the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown colony. I hope it has a beautiful sailing ship on one side so that I can add it to my High Seas signature set. I guess the lesson is that if they make enough designs then more people will find something that interests them, and its better for the hobby as a whole.

PS: Maybe NGC should consider a seperate service department for people who are submitting coins that are 60+ years old so we don't have to wait while 10,000,000 new mint releases are submitted in a quest for that holy grail of modern coinage..the perfect 70!!!
