What I think is more important is for us to look at how do we lift people up in this city and in the country, Because New York really guides the entire country. And that's what we've done. You know, When you invest in paying the college tuition of foster care children, when you invest in decreasing the cost of child care from 50 a week to less than $5 a week, when you invest in making sure you do pre K and 3K, we have 150,000 children enrolled, the largest in our city's history. When you look at those real issues that allow people to continue to see their opportunities, that's so important you can't do it as an academic exercise. (06:10–06:31)
