This article discusses how enethough women are closing in on the income gap between men and women there is still a 25% difference. There are more women in college and receiving degrees now than men yet there is not a change in amount of pay. It is also more likely for women to live in poverty than men.

This is an interesting subject. The overall education of the student is most important. But the fact that a student is limited to one school because of their location or parents' financial situation isn't all that fair, so it would be nice for parents to be able to use funding for their student to go to the school of their choice (public or private).

I understand why you have to go to school close to where you live especially if you don't have much money. A child needs a reliable eduction and if the parent lives to far and doesn't have much money it will make it hard on the parent and child to go to school. My dad is a High school teacher a Central High school here in Phoenix and has to deal with a lot. He finds that the students who live further away with less money tend to drop out or fail class due to not being able to afford bus passes or gas money. It truly is a sad thing but I believe going to school close to your home is best way to go in the long run.

It is very important in the present day for children to get a good education and the child should not have to suffer a poor education because of where they live. If the parents can not afford to live in a neighborhood with the top performance schools they should still be able to send their child to a good school and even if it means the child has to take the bus or car pool.

Although many people live in districts that have the funding for an excellent staff that is required to create a good learning environment, there are some parents that do not have that luxury. Being at a good school is what ultimately gets students out of the 'poverty cycle' or not. If a student does live in a bad neighborhood and has the possibility of attending a better neighborhood even if it is a bus ride or drive away it should be up to them ultimately if they want to make that change and commute for the better learning environment.

Some believe equal healthcare is not really going to be equal. The author uses a car repair shop as an analogy. Depending on how much and what type of repair needs then we as americans decided what to repair and how much we will be able to pay. He claims that healthcare is about your social standing in life instead of what is causing your illness. Those with a comfortable living have a better chance to help themselves stay healthy than those whom living below the poverty level.

With the recent government announcement that the Social Security trust fund is set to run out in 2037, four years earlier than previous estimates, many young workers are asking themselves: Why am I paying into a system that might not be there for me when I retire?

Family-planning programs boost incomes, reduce poverty, and ease the load on America's safety net. And yet, Republicans can't seem to condemn them strongly enough. Investing in reproductive health isn't just good for women and their families-it's good for the economy. (nmw)

If planned parenthood were to be defunded, it is predicted that the government would end up spending more in the long run on public assistance. Planned parenthood provides many services for women, one of them being birth control. Statistics in this article show that women who used birth control were easily able to finish school, find jobs, and create a steady life before having children. Defunding this organization would cost America more money in the bigger scheme of things.

The author believes planned parenthood is positive. It boosts the economy because those women have the chance to plan their pregnancies and prevent unwanted ones.
