How ’bout both?
The myth that a woman makes just 77 cents for every dollar a man with the same experience earns — for equal work — has been thoroughly, repeatedly debunked. And yet here we are again, watching the dishonest Obama administration’s pitiful attempt to spin away the White House pay gap as it tortures the data to push “Equal Pay Day.”
FACT: Women account for nearly half of our workforce, yet on average, they still earn just $0.77 for every $1 men earn. #NoMadMenPay

President Obama: "If you care about this issue, let your senators know where you stand. Because America deserves #EqualPay for equal work."

This is hilarious. There's media outlets EVERYWHERE saying that the 77 cent number is a myth. And Obama STILL says it's "math."

Hey, White House, forget the Equal Pay Day chicanery. One generous Twitter user has a more honest suggestion (and conveniently, it can be used 365 days a year):
I see it's Pull Numbers Out of Your Ass day.
