6. Saving and Creating Jobs and Reforming Education “ In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity—it is a pre-requisite. The countries that out-teach us today will out-compete us tomorrow.” - President Barack Obama, February 24, 2009
