where we had this continuing focus on education nation and we are in our third year that you participated. she said we doubled what we spend in the last decade on public school education and testing shows it has not improved. >> we spend double, 18 odd thousand. >> what do we have to show for it? >> you got to step back. it is not just in america. repetitive job the getting automated out of existence and jobs where you don't have to be by your supplier or your customer move to the lowest priced part of the world and so we have to find ways to not only get people to stay in school and get degrees but make those degrees and skills they learn more relevant, not what the jobs used to be but what the jobs are going to be down a road. that is an enormous challenge and the conventional way government works is we throw money at all problems. what legislators do is vote money. they don't run anything. what they want to go to their constituents and say i got a computer for the kid in the class. not clear that the computer is a good idea. a lot of evidence says that is not really making a difference

joel cline and i, the forrer new york city commissioner for education and i had a very good task force that looked at this issue where nationald by the state of our k-12 education system. we believe there are really three ways that this can be improved. first of all, we need stronger, higher national standards. today, a child in korea learns in third grade what our children learn in fifth grade math. that just can't continue. secondly, we believe that parents need greater choices for their children particularly parents who don't have means will need to be able to get their children out of failing schools. we think that introducing competition into the public school system will help to improve the state of education and finally, we need to make certain that we're keeping track, that we're auditing our progress of the skill levels that our kids are attaining in math, science, reading and indeed, foreign languages. >> and indeed, foreign language is another huge problem which you point out in the task force. we've not seen in this political campaign a really good debate on education, on these problems or on national security for

nation but for every state. thanks to governor bob wise and the alliance for excellent education who will share more at tomorrow's plenary to help you do your work loek cali to make the case for addressing this national crisis. as the engine of the grad nation campaign, the civic marshal plan has to specific goals. a 90% high school graduation rate by the class of 2020. presidents since john kennedy have set goals for the nation to boost our educational outcomes. but today this civic marshal plan is a specific plan of action that puts in place benchmarks along the way to ensure that we make progress and chart our progress over time. it takes that national goal seriously, adopts a cohort approach. the class of 2020 is in fourth grade today. the plan targets the high school dropout factories where we're losing about half of the nation's students every year. and their feeder elementary and middle schools that brian gallagher will help us chart. it focuses on data driven, research. like all 50 governors in 2005 when they came together on that graduation rate compact, we worked with organizations to encourage such big

nation's wealthiest. if you can follow me over here. he is proposing a 20% cut to science, medical research and technology. the department of education. e national institutes of science, et cetera. 24% cuts to veteran's services. a 30% cut to income security. that is unemployment food stamps foster care payments. 38% cut to infrastructure and transportation, and a 44% cut to education and social services. that means the department of education. that means the department of labor, health and human services. arts and pbs funding. he is also increasing something. and that would be the defense budget. you see an $8 billion annual increase to defense. and that is a key priority obviously for paul ryan. the ryan budget actually gives tax cuts to the wealthy and individuals and corporations. so the top individual income tax rate today is 35%. it's cut to 25%. that is $2 trillion additional to the budget. and on top of that a corporate tax rate which is currently 35% which he cuts to 25%, which costs another trillion dollars. so he has $3 trillion in the corporate and individual tax breaks that he creates for wealthy individuals and corporatio

education as we know is at the forefront of all of the problems that we face as a nation. every social and political problem really comes together at the crossroads of our school systems. it's the core of the twin crises of unemployment and our lagging behind in global competitiveness. so today's conversation is going to address how each of our mayors, these three, big three mayors, are addressing these challenges of reforms. and what their successes are and what they're continuing challenges are. i hesitate to say failures but this is a work in progress so we will address all of that. we are looking forward to a thoughtful conversation to engage you in questions and answers as well as bring in the superintendents very shortly. first to you, mayor villaraigosa. you, unlike mayor bloomberg and mayor emanuel, you have inherited a system where you do not have political control. how do you work around that challenge? >> first of all let me just say that i couldn't be prouder to be here with both mayor bloomberg and mayor emanuel, both new york and chicago are doing what we nee

america's ailing public education system jeopardizes u.s. national security. you know, leann touhy is the mom from the movie "the blind side." joel stein is "time" magazine contributor, dad to an almost 3-year-old son. this report, led by former secretary of state condoleezza rice and former new york city chancellor of the schools joel klein found that our position as a world leader, our physical safety are at risk. dropouts can't get into the military and as a nation we lose out on having a top educated work force. we recently heard the same thing on this program from alma powell who came back in october to talk about the dangers of dropout rates to the military and to the economy. leann, worrying about dropouts, though, in high school, that's worrying too late. we should be thinking about crawl through k education right? i know your foundation is very into this really getting kids young. >> well, i mean, i'm a huge advocate of education not only through our foundation but through our business, through our taco bells. we employ several,000 people and it is ve

general and director of the centers for disease control to discuss the launch of a new national tobacco education ad called the tips from former smokers campaign. we'll hear from people currently battling smoking related illnesses. that will be live shortly. until then, a clip from an event last week with secretary sebelius outlining the results of a new report looking at smoking use among youth. >> first surgeon's general report on tobacco was published in 1964. the good news is we've seen the percentage of americans who smoke steadily decline. in 1965, over 42% of americans smoked. by 2004, it had fallen to just under 21%. and that's very good news. but for all the progress we've made, tobacco use remains the biggest single threat to american's health. it kills an estimated 443,000 americans every year. 443,000. and every tobacco-related death is replaced by two new smokers under the age of 25. today's report brings more troubling news. it's the first of its kind to explore the causes and consequences of tobacco use among youth and young adults. it shows us just what we're up against. today, al

transportation, education, national defense are some of the places where we have found historic way -there is historic evidence. those are the kinds of investments that we are not making right now. the debate is -- the political debate is what are those choices? what do we invest in together as opposed to the individual pursuit? but you can deny that even the designer of our market system says that there are places where the market fails and we need to have a response. and that is the role for government. i think the political discussion is how big is that? howhat are those areas? how do we support that? not that government is bad or that rich people bad. that is what our political conversation is driving us to and does not get us to the most important question of how do we balance these things? how'd we make it so that transportation is not the responsibility of the individual business? because it is a collective and shared value and productivity results. >> will take one more question in the front. wait for the microphone. we will do to questions very quick answer quickly. >> my nam

these fabricated forms really make manifest the new nation through various educational and cultural activities. so my purpose in writing the new nation of goods was really to tell the story of these objects, and the story of really industrialation which i'll focus on in a minute, where in the middle 18th century a world of small things, imimported, changed dramatically in the next century and a different tale of industrialation, more out of winder chairs or out of globes or other furniture and textile forms is really quite different than the level paradigm. but i also very much intended to tell a story about the role of material culture and thinking with things, historical studies, really a series of case studies, of artisans, consumers and each chapter begins with an object and i use that like the wilson globe as a way of unpacking larger issues of enlightenment of industrialization and so on. i would argue while they've embraced the study of the artifact in recent studies, social historical scholarship is spent relatively little attention to the role of materiality. material culture has been

at the bottom have the safety net services and the great schools and education that maryland is known for. we are first in the nationor education. we re-upped our investments in schools, health care, education, public safety. the things that make maryland great. so we made significant changes to the tax code. we made it more progressive. folks at the top making a million dollars a year should be paying a little more and a lot more than folks at the bottom who are struggling. we increased the earned income tax credit, which is one of the most important tools that maryland taxpayers have, struggling families to make ends meet. we increased it by 20%. so a family making $49,000 a year with three kids in baltimore or montgomery county will see $6,000 in tack relief this year under that plan. a single filer making $44,000 a year will actually get money back. if you are making $1 million a year, you will pay a couple thousand more per plan. >> for those who are making that money, i'm sure they think they worked hard to earn that money and now they feel they are paying for people who have not worked quite as hard in their
