Do you worry that big changes are coming to Universities that will negatively affect job opportunities and/or salaries of Faculty?

We all know that we have a massive issue with the cost of college in this country. In the search for ways to educate our young people in a more cost effective manner, do you anticipate that there will be major changes at American Universities(mainly talking public here) that will negatively affect job prospects and/or salaries for academics? Or, do you feel that academics are already so dependent on grants that the issue of tuition costs (and any actions taken to lower it) would not have a large effect? I often see people in the media complaining about the salaries that professors make, with little understanding of how they are actually funded. 

I should state that I know that much of the rising costs are due to administration, but that doesn't mean the the policy makers and the public know it. Therefore, their actions could theoretically target faculty. 
    
I plan on pursuing my PhD in a few years and I believe that my ideal career would be that of a tenured professor. I will likely do this regardless of the financial ramifications (unless they are extreme) but I would like to know what all of you think about the earning potential and job security for the next generation of academics. 
    
My field is Public Health/Medicine if that is important. 
    
Thanks.

You're about 30 years too late with this question.  Track the number and expense for administrative positions in U.S. universities over the past 60 years and you'll see part of the explanation for why universities have become so expensive.
