i also think that, in the area of education, arnie duncan saying, reward teachers for doing a good jobhers and test kids, see what they're doing, that i think is a positive thing. not everything that arnie duncan is doing and the natural core curriculum and trying to get the states. i don't like a national curriculum i like the states to craft their own curriculum. >> you got criticized by rick perry in the last debate, in essence a bear hug to arnie duncan, i didn't read it that way. that's the allegation. is there a problem complimenting anything the other side does, even specifically, that you rin the risk of becoming fodder for somebody's target? >> i think that's one of the down sides of political life, as you know, that anything you may have said could be taken out of context, or twisted. and any policy you have can be shaded to make it look like it's a little different than what you really believe and then attack ads or so forth come out. but over time, i think people sort out what's true and what's not true and frirankly, the immediate yeah, even mainstream media will do some f

i'm sure arnie duncan would not let you do the same thing. this is a deference toward local initiative. any time you decentralize things, you have uneven results. there is no doubt about that. in our higher education, we are decentralized, and we have the best higher education system because of it. if i were superintendent i would not want to know what method to use. i would want to figure out my own. i would be willing to consider anything the federal government told me to do. i would not mind persuading the education secretary that it was a good idea, and i would expect him to further my agenda, unless i was lazy and incompetent. >> what we're talking about here is the bottom 5%. i'm not talking about every school in america. we have again reduced the federal footprint. we want to identify those bottom 5%. we expanded the turn-around model from 4% to 6%. the other option is not rigorous. we always want to do the least possible to get through. well, ok, but that was covered in every school. we're not doing that now. we're only focusing on th

and joining us now from the white house, secretary of education arnie duncan. ood morning. >> great to have you. >> i want you to first of all tell us of this new plan owe before you go. >> the costs of college are going up, unfortunately, in many places. historic increases in pell grants, $40 billion, the biggest increase since world war ii, to stop subsidizing banks, giving that money to young people, we thought that was the right thing to do. controversial here in washington, but the right thing to do. now what we're trying to do is help on the back end. reduce the monthly payments on those loans. make sure folks have a better opportunity to be successful there. less default, strength in the economy. and we can do this by ourselves. we don't have to wait for congress. we can't wait for congress. we're moving ahead today. the president will announce this later today in denver. >> i'm hearing buzz words. did you hear that? just weaved in brilliantly, howard. >> it's very good. that's what the republicans do to win and we're finally learning to do it. >> all rig

at the current stage, if arnie duncan is going to encourage states to have more charter schools and to employ merit pay, i would say it is a good thing. when democrats stand up to the teachers' unions, we have to say good. teachers' unions are trying to pretend this is a republican verses democrat issue. some of what army dunkin is doing i disagree with. he is also trying to promote nationwide curriculum. i think that is a mistake. i tnk the states should craft their own curriculum, but when and if he does some things i agree with, i will point that out. by the way, the school choice options closing in washington, d.c., what a terrible decision by this administration, "a good, the bad, the ugly." >> last week the president ordered an air strike in yemen, and he got to the new american citizens. what are your thoughts? was it appropriate? >> it is appropriate. when someone is engaged in treasonous behavior and has aligned with the force but has declared war wh the united states of america and is an enemy combatants, then have every right to fire upon them as ty have fired upon us. >> i

happy for my taxes to be raised if i knew the money would go to be administered by someone like arnie duncan. >> oh, man, or create a series of quality... will i will fund that opportunity. don't waste it. don'waste it. put it to good use for education for opportunity. so i'm... i think that what the country's most important thing to give anybody is opptunity. >> reporter: let me take this downtown to where there's an economic protest on wall street. you clearly have read about that. what do you think's at stake and what do you think they're saying to us. >> i think theumber o prlem is that we're not having a quality dialogue. so i wish i could sit down. >>ose: somebody should be listening and... >> we get together, sit here in a room like you with those thoughts and understand how... wh's going on and what's true so for example on that particular case i don't know that i adequately know the rious points of view of are that are behind it. i certainly understand the ustration. understand the dilemma. i understand there's discontent. >> rose: about somehow feeling the... that that some people

arnie duncan, the secretary of education, we thought he was going to be on our program today becausebad. >> he's going to put a student loan program out there that's got to please the occupy wall street crowd which he's going to talk about easier ways to pay off the student loan, different caps on the student loans but i think he might not be happy with the result. rasmussen did a poll and he said hey america, what do you think about forgiving student loans? 66% of americans say they oppose forgiving student loans. it's going to cost us a trillion dollars. >> it's not going to cost us anything extra. it didn't take me 25 years to pay off my student loans. if you still owe money after 25 years, you're forgiven and the president wants to move that to 20 years and if you still owe money at the end of the 20 years, all is foregiven, folks. >> let's talk a little bit about foreign policy now. there's an article written this morning about exactly why, why did the president decide last friday to come to the microphones and say that all of the troops in iraq would be coming home before chris
