Page 1A: "In economics of marriage, it's a man's world." Such exciting title is desirable for male readers to acclaim.(sic)

"Marriage is a different deal than it was 40 years ago." says Pew economist Richard Fry.

Professor Betsy Stevenson of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania says Pew's analysis is too limited. She thinks otherwise,however.

My comment: Any analysis may be limited in the strict sense of the wording. Any research finding may be challenged intellectually and academically to a certain extent. Folks hold different views by virtue of their own perception and reception.

Page 10A: "Calculating Debt" Bob Sadler wrote to the Editor:

"I applaud the article "How do we dig out from $12 trillion debt?" and the massive problem the US has with its debt load.

There are far too many Americans who don't understand the gravity of the situation.

The unfunded debt from Social Security and Medicare liabilities nearly $50 trillion over 75 years.

Comments: Who has knowledge about the future including the war cost that is very fluid in the days to come!? Folks seem to pay attention to the present and live on day-to-day basis.

The views from the above-mentioned thinkers could be the common ground for the readers to have uncommon thoughts for Sino-American economics apropos of the future cooperation of USA and China in the global context.

In Pin Yin:"Ji si guang yi" and "Liang quan qi mei" as my reflections.
