Supply students? That sounds like the gov is farming people. What am I saying. The government is farming people.

Brain and sexy, i love that man Reggie Middleton 

[98bigbutt]

The thing is that they don't want the American people have critical thinking so they could be distracted with fast food and reality TV.

[SilverLadyBug999]

People need to look at basic maths. You have have 40 years of ever increasing job automation & of shore manufacturing & expect to have a good economy. Then on top of that you have sustained 40 hour working weeks & duel parent incomes totaling almost 80 hours to keep a family. We have become more enslaved & pimping obsolete ideas is insane. The corporate elite are the only ones that have interpreted the benefits of technological leisure & profit form science, automation & robotics.

#11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts

Intellectuals and the inherent freedom of ideas and expression associated with them were anathema to these regimes. Intellectual and academic freedom were considered subversive to national security and the patriotic ideal. Universities were tightly controlled; politically unreliable faculty harassed. Unorthodox ideas or expressions of dissent were strongly attacked, silenced, or crushed.

America's educational system is down there with the UK, this is coming for a Englishman :(

[eyewitness043]

"Learning How everybody got to the top" won't help because those at the top got there by stealing and robbing. White Collar Criminal Europeans are rich because they robbed the poorest people (African American's) of a knowledge of self, leaving them WITHOUT IDENTITY and totally susceptible to fallacious ideology of western capitalism.

"The motto of Capitalism is Win if you can, loose if you must, but always cheat. Black people still don't get it" -Dr. Barbara Sizemore

[MrGAB4444]

We wouldn’t have assholes in government if we had properly educated citizens

yes government is the problem due to ignorant voters

our left progressive liberal teachers& professors CAUSED the problem:

Years of classes in: Saul Alinsky, anti-capitalism, global warming and pushing the 'European model' - In the USA for example: public schools teach little to nothing about the Federalist Papers or the Constitution.

[MrGAB4444]

Didn't Obama, not long ago, diss American students while overseas? Who are among his biggest campaign contributors - NEA- his biggest supporters are teachers and professors (they even bus their students to protests!)

Obama, these are the very students that spent years studying about global warming, Saul Alinsky and anti-capitalism, how can you be so cruel?

[MrGAB4444]

How about abolishing the Dept of Education? Obvious fiasco.

More tax dollars are spent on American students than most countries in the world!

[EXP0SEtheFRAUDS]

Reggie, did you burn down Brooklyn? It looks like buildings are on fire behind you! I never paid attention in school and got all C's. Now I'm a millionaire!

[notcher19]

Reggie should be invited onto the show more often! He's a fountain of knowledge.

dyslexia, is it a big problem in schools?

This girl, Lauren--annoys me.

[bullshit3118]

Come on Lauren, its PLAIN VANILLA...lol

[bullshit3118]

Its the cost of education pissing people off, not the education itself. Do we really expect to advance as a country if everyone goes to technical schools because it earns them a paycheck? the problem is that there are not enough jobs for ANYONE in this country, not just students. I feel these materialistic arguments against liberal education "as the problem" are dumbing education down. This is why "diploma factory" colleges pump out halfwit businesspeople with employment as their only motive.

[spark300c]

@bullshit3118 not every one is getting technical degree and that is problem. people with skill trades can be self employed and understand how to make things and make profit. People with business degrees only know how to run stories and banks with out help. They need engineers make products at right prices. however, he has the right idea. the value degree does not come form a paycheck it comes someone can do with it. You do a lot more with engineering degree than business degree.

[bullshit3118]

@spark300c yeah, but first people need to know how to read. To write. To learn about literature. To learn logic. To learn how to reason. To think critically. To speak properly. We arent even there yet and we have people jacking liberal education in favor of money making degrees. But you also forget, they outsource EVERYTHING here. including engineering jobs to asia. Like I said, its the insane cost of education pissing everyone off and rising unemployment, not the education itself.

[spark300c]

@bullshit3118 it is the government fault for high cost of education. use to be some one work and pay for college but now due student loan the price is very inflated. "To write. To learn about literature. To learn logic. To learn how to reason. To think critically. To speak properly" that is on the lower levels. yes everything is outsource here and wait game for a lot places we outsource for wages to rise. With engineering degree I make things and sell them.

[bullshit3118]

@spark300c No, it's the privatization of education that is at fault. We need a socialist government to enforce the laws on the books and prevent these monopolies from raising the prices. There are also no regulations on colleges in raising tuition. They are also raise book prices through the roof. the government has been hijacked by corporate free market criminals. of course, its free market for profits and "socialism" for losses for this scum. Im talking socialism for the people.

[spark300c]

@bullshit3118 the Regulations on colleges now force them to raise tuition. under the law they need to ten percent form private founds but they can not get that percent they have rise the tuition. There not such thing free market criminals. the free market is not rig. what you thinking is fascism. There no fraud or rules that protect monopolies in a free market. Due government invention most college barely get by.

[bullshit3118]

@spark300c No this government has been taken over by facsist free market criminals. If ti is fascism, as you say it is not socialism. true socialism would regulate tuition hikes and make it affordable for everyone to go to school. As if you haven't noticed, the free market educational corporations set the price of books and the corporate government raises the prices of tuition for profit. It is NOT regulated by socialist persons representing the people. That 10% argument is bullshit.

[spark300c]

@bullshit3118 how stupid can you be, no such thing a free market criminal. people for free market are against rig markets. people who for rig markets are not for the free market they for socialism."That 10% argument is bullshit." watch college is scam. Anyway college are barely make it. If they don't rise the tuition they go bankrupt. The problem is that to many people are getting degrees in worthlessness. If got degree in welding you able to pay the debt off in no time.

[spark300c]

@bullshit3118 if review history before the Federal government got involved college education was a lot cheaper. The states did build college for trades. These school has usually have the title of A & M stand for Agricultural and Mechanical. How ever very few people went to skill trades form 1980 on so the financial industry had to explode to absorb a lot people who shouldn't have gotten business degrees. now the financial industry had gone bust.

[4390100]

Pretty sure these figures on education are from various levels, after the first statistic think these were high school levels on math and reading and not college. In America the standards on High School are varied, some are plain bad, some are excellent, in most major economic country's they are more close to each other in their studies. In a bank in Japan the employees rarely miss count the money handed to you, in America, they often miss count in front of your face, stores are the same.

[mingin001]

Reggie needs his own show RT!

[DillonSundance]

lower income tax, raise capital gains tax

[tcorourke2007]

Awesome content lately. Keep bringing Reggie back.

[1betrman]

The average high school grad only reads at 6th grade level.This is because of programs like "no child left behind".It's called social passing. If a majority of students do not pass the schools do not receive extra Federal funding dollars.

[antmayfield]

@1betrman You're right

[BellHuey72]

This dude's got the deepest voice ever! He gives James Earl Jones a run for his money!

[quadcatfly]

watch college is a scam on youtube

[concubinage]

the only reason why lauren and everyone else think he is conspiratorial is because they too are one of those slaves produced by our education system.

[concubinage]

wow this has to be the best guest ever, my thoughts are totally in sync with him.

[chocomalk]

Reggie is awesome!

[turbotrana]

Dimitri seems to have a lot of good stuff to say but I think he finds it difficult to get his point across with two chicks either side of him.

Reggie was great.

[kcirdrab]

Middleton's a clued up guy, but not sure I totally buy his thesis here, nor does the interviewer clearly - altho he makes some good points about Anglospheric skool's obsession with poodle hoop jumping examinations ... & those camera shots checking out her legs under the table r bordering on being sleazy, there's a difference between subtle hints at sensuality & bashing the audience over the head with a shovel on it

[tygerk]

@kcirdrab {sigh} They do the SAME camera shots REGARDLESS of what she is wearing!!!

Can we just focus on the knowledge & insights ppl!

[tygerk]

@CapitalAccount Reggie Middleton should've DEFINITELY had a web extra exclusive interview!! You could tell he wanted to add more depth to what he was saying, but due to time constraints, Lauren had no choice but to cut him short. :(

[mrzack888]

Slavery, fuck my education, wasted my youth learning shit i'm not using now. i would say 90% of the shit i was forced to learn in public education i ain't using now.

[optionsupdate]

@mrzack888 john taylor gatto, the underground history of education system

[wooyooing]

yo, Obama, you need financial education. You can learn from Ron Paul for a bit.

[psxwarrior]

I agree with him that the school system is totally broken, and it's broken by design, but I'm not entirely sure I agree with him on his view of what money is.

[Ristar85]

@psxwarrior

it is true.

those that dun have money have to work for it.

those that have money make the money work for them by investing, trading and/or hiring people to do stuff to make even more money.

[EDTHEWATERGUY]

The world is changing and the government is trying like hell to hold on to it's power.

Why the hell should someone go to school for 16 or 17 years,when they can learn it all in 4 or 5 years?With schools like Khan Academy,soon there will be no need for public schools.

And a piece of paper that say you have an education doesn't mean you are educated.

[PCMontreal]

I really liked what the guest had to say. I've been complaining about lack of real life ciriculum content in our schools for some time. However, QC went even further by standardizing what's to be taught in all schools -even private, if you can imagine that!

[ralph15085]

dept of education??? GONE!!! RON PAUL 2012

[ReviewsByErik]

IMHO This is concrete evidence that the public school system does not work. Therefore we should dissolve the entire public school system to be replaced by privatized schools.

[rootusercouk]

No Demitri. Pencils are dangerous in micro gravity. Graphite can short hardware if a piece snaps off. A ball point would work just fine because the air pressure in the cabin is the same as on earth (if there was any writing to do at all). NASA does waste money on the ground but there are no bureaucrats in space.

[EzekielWinnfield]

So Reggie just said what George Carlin said years ago.

[whittonmatt]

The whole idea that life is some kind of competition and 'climbing ladders' is absurd!! If it is so..WHat's the prize to die with the most??? Ask the Dalai Lama..one of the most respected people in the world..Is he climbing the ladder of 'success'?

[TorontoLibertarian]

@whittonmatt Alright, go move into the woods and enjoy then.

Otherwise, how can you even criticize capitalism?

Why is your computer, internet, and house there?

Because somebody thought they could make money at it.

Capitalism is just VOLUNTARY exchange. Nothing sinister.

Don't be fooled. Crooked Businessmen + Crooked Politicians IS NOT Capitalism.

That's corporatism.

Check out the book Free to Choose.

[whittonmatt]

@TorontoLibertarian You are correct..nut what you are talking about is the original concept/idea of capitalism..Today we don't have that model in it's original form..Therefore I say let it burn along with the puppet masters and let the people re build it AGAIN..As for my computer..Anyone else noticed the quality has gone down the tubes over the past years..Everything has more buttons and whistles but QUALITY..?? READ "China shakes the world" The west is screwed!!!!!!

[thawthepast]

BINGO! ..disposable income is the amount of "play money" left to spend or save.

[1977Melville]

4:34 4:35 LOL! She just flirted with Reggie! Lyster wants some : )

[daviddalbylive]

Whatever happened to the Classical Greek Education that made you Think ... The Trivium ... Stuff that the Kings want Dumb Ass Idiots who are Good Worker Slaves.

[capucchan8]

Reggie it's called Serfs, that is what most people are

[hhhaaa68]

Lip service does not count!

[1977Melville]

The Dept. of Ed might be ending along with a shitload of other federal public sector b.s. agencies in the next 5-7 yrs with the way the country is drowning in public/private debts and unfunded liabilities along with money printing.

[russmurray]

The elites do not want too many educated, entrepreneurial people. The elites want the majority to be worker bees. The education system is designed to work the way it does.

[shadowbankers]

That's why we need to end the Dept. of Education

[capucchan8]

see I like how all these politicians talk about improving education, but think about if people were educated and had critical thinking skills why would they elect people like Bush and Obama? they would not, and why do all these parents keep believing the politicians? and guess what in a lot of countries students learn in high school what people in America learn in college
