Women earned less than men in Tammy Duckworth's Veterans Department

Democratic politicians continue to imply that women are making less than men due to some kind of discrimination. The problem for these politicians is that the differences in pay between men and can be mostly — if not completely — explained by different experience levels or choices men and women make in their careers.

Yet these politicians continue to insist women aren’t receiving “equal pay for equal” work. At an event in Chicago, Illinois Senate candidate Tammy Duckworth made just such a claim while discussing the economy.
