What you get back is a conversation about value. Often college also frame the value of Higher Education in economic terms, and we become used to talking about return on investments and u. S. The department of education is publishing information about how much graduates individually make. So if youre going to measure the value of college in some way other how much a home is worth in the labor market, it leads you to that. Criticizing or denouncing creditors because of a dissatisfaction with the way they handle Quality Control and other aspects of Higher Education. It leads you to if not accreditation, then what . If you want to think about innovation and Higher Education and maybe finding new ways to use the federal Financial Aid system to give entrepreneurs or people the ability to create new systems or new ways of approaching Higher Education, but at the same time, youre mindful of the potential for fraud and abuse, it raises the question, how would you find out whether or not some ne
Good morning, the publisher of burlington court. Five years into the common core we are at a critical juncture. Common cores added alltime low it has dwindled from 26 states and from washington d. C. To seven states to washington dc. It is really no longer viable. In fact, the other national is not doing much better. It is true better. It is true to say there is Little Common purpose or competent ability left in common core. This volume that we are releasing this morning, drilling through the core is definitely a timely release. Five years into this Great American education today, it is worth remembering what we are debating. It is not politics, whether the debate of a contest between two distinct views. The first is that the common core standards are a state driven effort to improve k12 Public Education and especially to help children in underperforming districts. The second is that they are from dubious quality and what is historically legally, and financially as state and local issu
Hypothetical. Why does mortgage credit enable them both equally . Im not sure how were going to do that. So rather than seeing a reform with much tighter regulations, limits on what their executives can make, with an acceptable rate of return and this make whatever you can and get rich structure, its about the famous line from winston churchill, it seems like its working until you consider the alternatives. I guess ive become an advocate of fixing what we have and recognizing that its not perfect. There are dangers in that system. There are dangers in every system. There is another side of false dichotomy with private capital. Fannie and freddie had to be bailed out by the government so we fix that now with dodd frank, if the big bank controls the Mortgage Market, one that undo everything weve done . Why is that private capital . So if we did that and we let franny and freddie start to build capital again and we release them into the market, do you feel there is any risk that we will h
Very direct and grilling questions of witnesses that would come before our committee. Sometimes there would be a tense moment. But ralph always had something funny or a story to tell that broke the ice. Youve seen a number of members of the texas delegation here today, particularly the republican delegation and every thursday, we have lunch together. Talk about whats good for texas. But what was always a thing that we always looked forward to, we couldnt wait until ralph got there so that we could ralph could share a funny story. And you know, one of the things that ill miss most about ralph is those times when hed be on the floor or he would be at lunch, sharing those stories. Now one of the things about ralph is that as he got older, he got wiser. And in fact he, got so wise, in 2004, he realized he needed to be a part of the Republican Party and so he switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. We were so glad to welcome him to that. So as i said, its been an honor a
Assistance. Not because we intended it, but because our ally in iraq collapsed. Comprehensively. Now were talking about well, maybe, what we have to do is have a smaller, you know, fast force that can go in. Well train them. We wont train hundreds of thousands and theyll do it. Youve talked in response to judge poe about the training and we all hope that works. But i dont think i dont know anyone who seriously thinks that you can train effectively even with successful vetting 5,000 insurgents who are moderate and maybe secular and theyll be reintroduced to syria and turn the tide. In fact, all of the indications are the moderate, you know, are part of the insurgency such as it is has collapsed in syria. Is actually losing ground catastrophically, almost to the point of extinction. And so you decided decentralization, security reforms and the new government is reaching out to regional capitals as if that is going to turn the tide. Maybe you didnt intend for that. I guess, i would like t
