establishment candidate in your beat you are going to get the same programs by and large, marginal tinkering you'll never get the programs out of there until the checks start bouncing. i rise to a good college professor talking about the job corps which is a relatively small budget program from the 1960's that persists to this day to give people job training and then they go back into the market and find jobs but the fruits of that have been abysmal. most people who go through -- about one-third of the program don't even show up and then the ones that do most of them never find work in their field or the wind up at a barely over minimum wage job and the program costs about as much as it costs to put a guy through harvard for a year. clearly this is a failure if it were a private sector program we would laugh at it and how corrupt the capitalist people are but if it's a government program we say it must just be that they haven't spent enough money on that. i have one student that said if the program failed why does it persist? i thought there was a wonderful and beautiful question. it persist

to get very marginal tinkering and you never get programs out of there until the checks are bouncing. that's the only way. i was talking about the job corps, this relatively small budget program from the 1960s that persist to this day in the idea to get people job-training and go back into the market and find jobs. but the first had been abysmal. like most people -- about of the third people don't even show up to the program and of the ones who do, most of them never find work in their field or they wind up at a barely over minimum wage job in the program cost as much as a cost to put it back to harvard for a year. see what they clearly this is a failure. as for private-sector program, would be laughing at how corrupt the capitalist people are. but if it's a government program can we say of us just be they haven't spent enough money or whatever. so when i say this to my students, if one who says that the program fails, what is that persist quite at that there was a wonderful, beautiful naÏve question. it persists because congressmen around the country will say this is a factor in thei

if romney were to be elected president, that it would likely not be a complete repeal but maybe a tinkeringertain parts of dodd-frank that the banking sector and financial services sector don't like. give us your take on what is feasible in terms of actually amending dodd-frank if there is a republican administration. >> this was a very difficult law to put together. it would be a very difficult law to take apart. but i would say after the great depression, we saw acts like the federal reserve act rewritten several times and i wouldn't be at all surprised if we saw continued tinkering no matter who is president with dodd-frank. we just saw it with oxley, with the rules impeding ipos. one of the few things they've gotten done this year. i would say you asked the previous guest for a grade on dodd-frank. i don't think you can give it more than a c-minus right now. frankly, one of the big things you want to achieve with legislation like this is to improve the trust that households have in the banking system. that hasn't happened. gallup surveys show that americans, only 20% of americans trust

a cut in interest rates before the election and if they did that alan greenspan would have been tinkering with the electoral process. you know, the election is still also two months away. there is no way that the fed chairman, with his mandates, could sit on his hands and whistle dixie as he watches things get worse or at least not get better. now, could he have done other things? yes. there are a variety of other technical things he could do. he could -- which would have had an effect, but going for this model in this way, i can see why the republicans are seething and spitting feathers. it will have an effect. but from bernanke's point of view, he probably had no choice. >> are we going to see this effect, do you believe, before the election? >> good question. bernanke told us that qe1 and qe2 did have an effect. it created growth and did improve the situation. now, most people seem to believe that over the next couple of months as the money goes in, unemployment will come down. but i think it will be naive, it will be more than that, naive, silly, between now and beginning of september

so the next administration regardless of who it is and congress need to do more than tinker at the edges. we need to replace the failed washington economic consensus with a new innovation consensus. we need to reduce the tax burden on companies that compete globally. we need to boost government support for r&d and training. and finally, we need to draw the line when countries break the rules of global trade to take our jobs. the united states can win the global innovation race but only if we decide we want to. i'm rob atkinson. >> susie: and finally tonight, a milestone for the u.s.a. that's nightly business report for monday, september 17. good night everyone. captioning sponsored by wpbt captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org

so you know the old days when hewlett and packard were in their garage i think they used to call tinkeringis a kind of the same thing well sure if you're being playfully cleverer in designing circuits or writing software than you're hacking right but for some reason it become a pejorative phrase and the word hacker has become synonymous with doing bad things and breaking well is the first of all. breaking security is not necessarily bad it can be bad or good depending on what you do with the access those gained but in any case the reason why many people think that's what it means is the confusion of journalists around one thousand nine hundred one when they found out about hackers they somehow focused on one activity that some hackers did some of the time which was breaking security on computers and they ignored all the rest of what hackers did now my hacking hardly ever had to do with security except in cases where i protested against security which is not the same thing is breaking security . right now richard stallman you're known for developing and promoting free software and you appro
