liza mundy -- host: liza mundy is our guest. we begin with a call.aller: to use a cliche, you and your magazine are sounding a little 1894. this seems to me a total catastrophe in terms of unhappiness. people living alone. all the surveys on and have been a show that people are more unhappy than ever before. anti-depressant use is way up. illegal drew's -- drug use is skyrocketing. i notice that you keep putting a positive spin on this. we have a collapse in male wage earners. with a tree trade -- free trade agreements and one decision after another that has destroyed the ability of men to support families and to have a livelihood. "coming apart" last people like me as a sexist bum. when you consider the number of working-class men that are tied up in the criminal justice system that are coming in my case, a chronically depressed, it seems we are creating an explosive situation. host: we have a lot on the table. let us get a response from liza mundy. guest: i would not disagree. the disappearance of high-paying middle-class working class jobs is real

women are becoming the bread winners, but they haven't closed the pay gap yet, liza.mething that is a concern. right. and it's troid that that high a percentage of working women outearn their husbands even though in the workplace they aren't perhaps earning what they should be. one can expect as the gender wage gap closes that even more women will be outearning their partn partners. and a lot of couples are going to trade back and forth. opens up options for men and women to experiment, to try new things and to trade back and forth. >> and also to stay to each other, if a woman has a really, you know, career -- great career that she feels passionate about and the husband prefers to be more nurturing and work part-time, you know, that might work really well for a couple because they are recognizing each other's strength and what they each bring to the marriage. >> what if everyone is working harder? we have this economy that is built on you have to have two wage earners, now it takes two people to earn together as a household a little bit more than only one more than w

thanks for joining us, liza.t this point in the game, men are still the primary bread winners, but you have a crystal ball and you see it transforming. give me the lowdown. >> as you say the percentage of working wives who outearn husbands is nearly 40%. that is going up steadily for the past two decades, so if you just track that rise and project into the future, then if it continues going at the same pace by 2030 a majority of working wives would outearn their husbands given the fact that women are 60% on college campuses it seems plausible. >> what are the main reasons that men are losing ground? >> in some cases it's women gaining ground. because women do outnumber men in college, and have been increasing their presence on university campuses and in graduate schools for the past 20 years, i mean that's a good trend, and also there is still as you say, a gender wage gap. women do earn less than men on average, but that, too, has been narrowing. also changes in the economy. we saw in the recession that industri

restricting funding to the highest risk ports with liza -- would leave a soft underbelly of unprotected ports for terrorist exploit. repression the willingness of dhs to work with the ports on grant issues. positive changes have been made and we hope these changes will continue. we feel that over time the pylon effect of new requirement has had a significant negative impact on the program. for fiscal year 2013 and beyond, we strongly urge the committee to restore port security funding, keep the funding separate, maintain federal control, provide a uniform because share waiver, and establish a joint dhs corp. group to streamline the process. in order to continue to be effective, the grant process must evolve in conjunction with port needs and vulnerabilities. working with dhs, efforts have been made to keep pace with this evolution. we threw that if ports are lumped into the larger homeland security equation, efforts to date will be marginalized and focused on ports will be lost. thank you. >> on behalf of the national pugin center association, thank you for inviting me. a lot has change
