i want to bring back to what president faust was talking about. what concerns me greatly because of the house the disregard for the impossible and working with educational institutions, i have great concerns for where we're going as a country and i will give two statistics. some of the numbers i have learned -- the united states is ranked 52nd in terms of the quality of the math and science education. that's something i think we need to focus in on. we are still number-one in innovation. i do not know we can say we need to focus only on stem, though clearly we do and especially for females. if i thought the congress was male dominated, i'm sometimes one of the only females in the room. what i think of innovation is a healthy disregard for the impossible. once we get to higher education, we are not in the situation. i do think if you talk about a healthy disregard for the impossible, you need that early attitude in the grammar school and elementary school level in the humanities if they are going to have that healthy disregard to promote innovation

economy is fausting huge risks from self-inflicted wounds.the tax policy center, the codirector there. this is on top of the rate increases it is an $86 billion extra tax hitting squarely in the middle class. and we're hearing from h&r block. h&r block is saying your $1100 refund if you're a family makes 85,000 with two kids could turn into $1400 tax bill. that is warning already. whether or not they fix it. i heard mid-morning, this is the deal. they would permanently fix it. does that mean permanently index it to inflation? that is what we are looking for right now and what is happening. but separate from all that, we know obamacare taxes are also hitting january 1. ashley: yeah. >> we also have separate from that, 70 tax breaks expiring. things like sales tax deductions in certain states or tuition and fees for certain students. ashley: yeah. >> that is another thing they will have to deal with. states we have to watch out for what we're talking about the amt, california, new york, new jersey those taxpayers could be socked pretty hard if

answer the question in two ways in terms of innovation and i do want to bring it back to what president faust was talking about. what concerns me so greatly when i am allowed to stand on the precipice of a company that is constantly creating and innovating because of this healthy disregard they have for the impossible, like google, when i'm working with entrepreneurs and venture capitalists who also invest in that notion of no guarantees, but a sterling ride, in working with educational institutions that also want to grab that, i have some great concerns for where we are going as a country. i just going to give two statistics because when you talk about global competitiveness, which we talked about, some of the numbers that i have learned since taking this job, which i guess we all sort of intuitively know, in that the united states is ranked 52nd in temples its quality in math and science education. i do believe that that is something that we really need to focus in on as the united states. it slipped to seventh place in global competitiveness. the good news is we are still number one in inn
