What’s with this paycheck fairness business?

Pay discrimination is already illegal, and has been since the Equal Pay Act of 1963. If there is really a problem with women earning less than men for the same job, Obama and Holder already have the law and legal tools needed for the Justice Department to file lawsuits, or take other actions. We don’t need a “Paycheck Fairness Act”. The law is already there. If this is really a big problem in our society, enforce the existing law.

When all factors affecting pay are taken into consideration, such as type of work, education, time in the workforce, etc. there is very little difference between women and men's salaries.

Historically, at least. Now that universities enroll about 40% male to 60% female that will naturally change on its own.
