Enhancing revenues will help us improve education and solve our infrastructure problems.

We haven't shed our engineering pragmatism, so we accomplish things in the simplest manner possible. It helps with budget, obviously. We're not getting rich off web video, and we're supporting two families with our income, so we need to keep as much of the budget to ourselves.

What we are doing is we are putting in significant training into the people we have currently to upgrade their skill resources, upgrade the presentation resources, and upgrade what we expect from them in terms of not business as usual.

We need to increase education budgets.

We at the Department of Education are going to provide technical assistance; I've committed $14 million to show states how they might meet this more sophisticated approach.

Just as we are enhancing the customer side of our marketplace, we are also looking for ways to increase our contributor expense.

The one thing we can do is invest in the quality of education, especially higher education.

We need to make college affordable in price, and also have lower-cost student loans and more available grants for students.

Our real focus is going to be what can we do with our existing capacities, what new things can we do, and how much more demand can we fulfil with our existing capacities.

We should be trying to make education less expensive, not more.
