at the Miss USA pageant: >> Judge NeNe Leakes asked Miss Utah, whose real name is Marissa Powell, "A recent report shows that in 40 percent of American families with children, women are the primary earners, yet they continue to earn less than men. What does this say about society?"* Powell answered:
> I think we can relate this back to education, and how we are … continuing to > try to strive to ... ... ... figure out how to create jobs right now. That is > the biggest problem. And I think, especially the men are … um … seen as the > leaders of this, and so we need to try to figure out how to create education > better so we can solve this problem. Thank you.< << Miss Utah has been made laughed at for that answer, but what's interesting is that mainstream economists have a very similar answer: having more education is the solution to all problems. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
