Hot policymakers

Dear Log,

Found in the "New Mexico Teen Pregnancy Coalition" web site:

«Policymakers dedicated to such goals as better schools, a more productive work force, less poverty, and fewer out-of-wedlock births should recognize that reducing adolescent pregnancy and childbearing is a highly leveraged and cost-effective way to achieve these broader social objectives.»
All this talk of "highly leveraged" makes me feel dirty. Like a dirty dirty accountant.


Verbing weirds language!

I hate seeing "leverage" used as a verb.

sounds familiar
