Interesting tho', that the 'underclass', barely gets a mention from Krugman. Middle America writing for Middle America? About a year ago, I used a community centre here in Sussex County, england. One of the volunteers i got talking with had just finished college in St Louis, US. She described how Colin Powell (US Secretary of State?) had come to the college to speak to/with/ students. At some point, a student stood up and asked, "Would you tell us about My Lai?".[Vietnam] One of Powell's aides almost leapt to the microphone and stated "Mr/General Powell can't answer that!" And that was the end of that. Someone asked another question etc..and it 'moved on' ... At a simple monetary level Powell has assets of about $60M. A huge chunk of this has come from fees earned from universities, colleges, talks to conventions. He gets protected from the questions he doesnt want to address. What I said before about responsibility.. The responsibility lies with the students, or whoever is on the receiving end not to just accept this, to ask "Why" and keep asking why, and keep asking the awkward questions.
