The American Dream Is Leaving America OCT. 25, 2014
Nicholas Kristof
THE best escalator to opportunity in America is education. But a new study underscores that the escalator is broken.
We expect each generation to do better, but, currently, more young American men have less education (29 percent) than their parents than have more education (20 percent).
Among young Americans whose parents didn’t graduate from high school, only 5 percent make it through college themselves. In other rich countries, the figure is 23 percent.
The United States is devoting billions of dollars to compete with Russia militarily, but maybe we should try to compete educationally. Russia now has the largest percentage of adults with a university education of any industrialized country — a position once held by the United States, although we’re plunging in that roster.
These figures come from the annual survey of education from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or O.E.C.D., and it should be a shock to Americans.

The Obama Dream = The American Nightmare.
Barry and the ‘RATS’ “dreamers” have stolen the dream away from a lot of poorer and younger Americans.
We;ve offshored our manufacturing base, and the millions of middle class jobs that went with it. That started before Obama
We;ve sent our middle class manufacturing jobs overseas.. And we’ve imported low-wage immigrants to lower the wages at home. Obama has continued this, but it didn’t start with Obama.
Completely true.
Thank you. The GOP is no better than the Democrats. Everyone is selling out America.
Bring back American manufacturing.
Yep.
I think it started more or less full steam after NAFTA passed in 1994.
Who did it start with?
Libs thought Americans would fall for the Cult of Personality — where everything would be hope realized simply because The One says it is....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtGrp5MbzAI

“ Russia now has the largest percentage of adults with a university education of any industrialized country — a position once held by the United States, although we’re plunging in that roster”
Russia doesnt have common core.
The only change America needed was a return to the constitution, our traditions and common sense.
Instead we have a half-witted, bisexual, closet muslim trashing the constitution and trying to turn the country into an socialist Islamic state.
Bring back American manufacturing.
Yes!
But they won't because if we made the stuff in America again, it would cost so much to buy it that they could no longer hide their inflationary policies from the American people!
“We will change the world!’’. I wonder how the parents of these chirpy little idiots are doing?
Flooding the nation with millions of third world immigrants should help.
Home school.
The NY Slimes: cut the U.S. military. How about cutting welfare (personal and corporate), crony capitalism, and global warming hoax funding, ya idjits?
obola and his muzzy bros HOPE to destroy America with his CHANGES.
And they did, twice, when it mattered.
