But I am surprised that is not what we are talking about: How do we take that tremendous number of young people walking our streets, who are not educated, who do not have diplomas, and make them educated so they will get out of poverty? Not just coming down and saying they are but that they will get out of it. How will we be competitive? Because that kind of person will become technologically capable, and they will help make us competitive.
