用平均信用评级来衡量一个地区的经济水平,比平均收入要公平,透明,可靠。因为如把一万个穷人与一个 billionaire 放在一起,平均人收入超过十万,而事实上9999个人都穷得叮当响。而信用评级有最高限制,不会对其他人产生重大影响。一个信用评级800分的人,帮不了9999个信用评级600分的人。
"碰巧"的是,所谓经济好的蓝州,都是贫富差距最大的地区。
In December, the Urban Institute checked on the average credit scores in the,counties won by Clinton and Trump. The results were striking. Of 55 counties nationwide that had exceptional average credit scores (720 or higher), 51 tipped to Trump. Of the 11 counties that averaged below 600, or subprime, all 11 went to Clinton
