for some, it's two years of committed to college to earn enough credits to transfer to a four-year university. which is available in almost everything will state, to become a teacher, entrepreneur, anything else. for some it's getting an extra training through a certificate program to get a good paying job and a business in town. we just met with students at the hvac workshop. ambitious, talented students, taking the next step in their lives. with the skills they are learning here, and some of the students move on to be plumbers, i looked russians, it means higher union wages and guaranteed health care and pensions. it is kind of amazing. one of the things the first lady understands is that an awful lot of folks who even get an opportunity to go to community college still cannot get there because of food, transportation, and other costs. so we are going to increase pell grants, so they are qualified. [applause] it will make a gigantic difference. if we didn't have these positions, i would be sleeping in the lincoln bedroom. [laughter] rather than the president's bedroom. but really, you know,

in your state and every other state in america, the last two years, all those credits are available to the state university and you get a four-year degree at half the cost or get a two-year degree and do which are able to do. it will increase the average income by over 20% for someone in america for the rest of their lives. so folks, the fact is, as i said, i am not looking to punish anyone. i come from the corporate state of the world, from delaware. more corporations are incorporated in delaware than every other state in the union combined, but guess what? i am sick and tired of corporate america not paying their fair share. their taxes used to we all thought that was too high even in our administration and we want to reduce it to 28%, get more competitive. some thought 24%, but it got reduced to 21%. of the largest corporations in america, 50 do not pay a penny intact. made $40 billion, do not pay a penny intact. if you are a construction worker and your wife is a schoolteacher you are paying at a higher tax rate than corporate america is paying. not a joke. not a joke. i do not want to punish them. the

universities need to figure out mechanisms to encourage this and to give credit. they don't. in fact pedro spoke to a class of mine and universities are so one note on this point that pedro comes off to the right of every student in the seminar which is mind boggling. and some need to take responsibility school boards and principals need to take seriously to talk about stakeholder buy-in. we talk a lot about courageous conversations will that is 450 progresses to sit around and talk to each other the only get courageous when you actually talk across the comfort level with mutual respect. so for me what pedro and i have modeled is something that has wide applicability for educational leaders to prepare teachers to lead school systems across the country. >> pager that is in your wheelhouse. is that growing the lessons of this collaboration of policymakers of what happens on campus in the preparation? >> i think so universities shortchange the students if they only expose them to only one way of looking at an issue. i am troubled by that. very intentionally i would assigned readi

credit, overall valuations, you can't make an argument and say anything is attractive. it is certainly broadbrush. you look at valuations across the investment grade and high-yield universe, and essentially we are in the bottom decile, which means things have been cheaper historically, so quite clearly this is not a fist pounding market in credit anymore. it is very different than where we were six months ago. that being said, there are still some opportunities, idiosyncratic opportunities, upgrade candidates, but you cannot paint the market, particularly the high-yield market, with a broadbrush. lisa a: it doesn't necessarily lead to an overall portfolio that can do more than clip coupons, especially at a time when the margin for error is so low. the cushion on any increase in yields is so narrow. how are you preparing investors in terms of expected returns, and terms of potential pitfalls of investing in credit at this moment? lisa h: that is a great point. we are much more defensively positioned. we are still somewhat constructive on investment grade credit, but much less so than we have been over the last three, six, or 12 months. think back to march of last year , i

rowan university announced any full-time students who show proof that they are fully vaccinated, by august 7th, will receive a $500 creditl-$500 towards housing cost. university is mandating vaccines for all students living on campus or attending classes, in person. >> reporter: i'm jean casarez, in manhattan. mayor bill de blasio's announcing that new york city has administered almost 7 million covid-19 vaccinations. and now, in an effort to build tourism, they want to offer the johnson & johnson vaccine to any visitors that comes here. the plan is to install mobile-covid-vaccination sites at major-tourist attractions around the city. like, times square, the empire state building, the brooklyn bridge park, the high line, and even central park. but it's all dependent on a green light from the state. >> reporter: i'm martin savidge in atlanta. if you live in memphis or shelby county, tennessee, and you get a covid-19 vaccine. you could get something else. a brand new car. this week, local officials have held a sweepstakes which could leave one lucky person to win the choice of a sports car, pick-up truck, sedan, or suv. y

universities need to figure out mechanisms for encouraging this and supporting it and getting credit for it and if they don't come in fact, you know, i've had pedro guess speak to a class of mine and university are so one note on this point that, you know, pedro comes off as to the right of every student in the seminar which is just mind-boggling and universities need to take response ability for this. school boards, principle's, professional development needs to take seriously that we talk a lot about stakeholder buy-in and we talk a lot about courageous conversations in education. it ain't a courageous conversation for 50 progressives to sit around and talk to each other in schools. conversations only get courageous when you're actually talking across our comfort level, across our divides with mutual respect and so for me i think what pedro and i have modeled here is something that has wide applicability for educational leaders, for people preparing teachers, for folks in the business of leaving school systems across the country. >> pedro, that is right in your wheelhouse bird what

every other state in america, you're allowed to go the last two years, all those credits are available to your state universities and you can get a four-year degree for half the cost and/or you get the wido two-year degree and you're able to do what you need to do. it's estimated to increase the average income by over 20% for some americans for the rest of their lives. the fact is, again, i'm not looking to punish anyone. i come from the corporate state of the world, delaware, more corporations are incorporated in the state of delaware than every other state in the union combined. but guess what? i'm sick and tired of corporate america not paying their fair share. their taxes used to be 36%. we all thought that was too high, even in our administration. and we wanted to reduce to it 28%. make it more competitive. some thought 24%. but it got reduced to 21%, and you know what the result is? of the largest corporations in america, 50 don't pay a penny in tax. made $40 billion. don't pay a penny in tax. if you're a construction worker and your wife's a schoolteacher, you're paying at a higher tax rate than corporate
