we're talking about a real decline in s.a.t. scores. how important an indicator is this to you? >> it's a very important one, certainly not the end all be all. when you couple that with other statistics that have recently come out including the fact that college, going into college completion rates for the u.s. have dropped internationally as well it is cause for alarm and i think that there are, you know, some people out there saying the u.s. is doing just fine, we don't have anything to worry about. if you look at these indicators, and how we've fallen over the last two decades, it really is something that we need to be focused on as a nation. >> is there some argument that the s.a.t. is making their pushback from the college board that there is more diversity among the people taking the test, the kids taking the test? is that a good argument or reinforce the failures of our

administration. he just got into office. financial collapse, economy in free fall. >> we're still in a financial collapse. >> yeah, absolutely. >> the financial crisis is not over. anyway, continue. >> and i don't think any of us are surprised that wall street was having an undue influence and these are guys who are all very sympathetic to wall street. the question is, have those dynamics changed? and the other thing that's very interesting -- >> i would argue that the swap lines opened up at the central bank in america yesterday morning in order to facilitate the purchase of every defunct bond in europe suggested it has not. >> and the other interesting element of this book is they talk about the women who were in the room being cut out of the decision making process. and there's a lot of research that shows that one of the most important elements in effective decision making is diversity. and that when you have a balance of male and female perspectives, you end up with better decisions. so that could be a contributing factor in some of the poor decision making. >> that's a great point.

whoever. we want to create jobs, we don't want to take things from each other. >> absolutely. i want to challenge the notion that the current job training system has harmed people. i think there were some bad experiences that no longer happen. but the question is whether we have a job training system that can deliver for the 10 million people or so who are unemployed and help them get into the labor force. and it's got to be a system that reflects the diversity of needs of those people who need training and the diversity and needs of employers. you suggested that large employers with jobs already, they would actually invest in the training of their workers. but, in fact, all the research indicates that less than 10% of employer job training money is spent on their entry-level workers. so that means we have a gap between the people walking in and their skills and what the employer needs. and that's what the job training system has to effectively fill. >> go ahead, james. >> i wonder if i can get back -- mrs. cooper mentioned there's

million students from the 2011 class took the sat. out of that, it expanded to 44% minority, 36 first generation college goers, 27% english as second language. isn't that level of diversity a positive sign? >> yeah, it should be, right? what that means is that there's a broader group of american high school students who are imagining themselves as american college students. first generation, black and latino students, and students who have families that they typically might not expect these kids to go on to college, but now they're imagining they can. the problem is with the sell he can activity of the colleges, sat is tracking more with background questions than with actual capacity to perform in school. you may have a more diverse pool, but not end up with more diverse outcome on college campuses. >> as we flip through the video of the book, i get hives

it was a game changer and remains that we will always listen to that sound differently now. >> you know, there's no doubt that airports are a lot more inconvenient, pennsylvania avenue is shut down but i'm struck by how much continuity there is. there are still folks working in office buildings in manhattan. new york is still this incredible vibrant place full of diversity. immigrants are still pouring in from all over the world because they want that piece of the american treatment. you know the truth of the matter is that there have been some changes since 9/11. some innocence, perhaps has been lost. but, our core values our core character, how we interact with each other, our love of this country, and our ability to work
