he was the forerunner of the wpa and the prototype for it. this is a page from the cw a and it showed kids getting hot lunches. that was important. he put 2 million americans to work. and that included about 50 thousand school teachers sent out to rural areas. this is a cw a project. that's stern grove behind it. they are using wheel barrels. for this reason, many projects were well built. there are no cw a plot. this was one in berkeley placed there and the tennis court at coat niecis park. i was showing a montessory class there. this is an amphitheatre. it's a wonderful amphitheatre. there was from the sidewalks and they just reused it to create other things. down in menlow park. they built into a caretakers house. the wpa is must more famous. it came after the cw a. it did everything. they put eight and a half million people to work. they built roads. they sewed clothes. they built roads is in san francisco. this one, i have seen them on sidewalks in san francisco. this is on a retains wall in crocket. they are very seldom markers. cw a do

everything from monument to golden gate park to market street, other works in the collection, from the wpa era, the quite tower, the works from the george washington high school. we have the contemporary education, where they depict some of the vocational arts that were taught at george washington high school. what is interesting is the artist's and corp. of some of the -- incorporation of some of the architectural elements. they used the speaker from the p a system as part of the design. on the opposite side of the library, we have a large fresco which depicts the academic subjects that were taught at the time. it serves as a foil to the other fresco in the library, we have academic subjects on one side, vocational subjects on the other, and result is the concept of a well-rounded education. additionally, what we plan to do is the academy of hospitality and tourism will be part of, so the students can share with other students, faculty, the neighborhood, and others to come by and what to look to the artwork we have. >> by working with the students, we hope to raise awareness of the collec

the lower walls was actually billed as part of the wpa. the upper wall was built in 1991-'92. this is a concrete wall and it has rocked going through the wall that extends the distance of 80 feet beyond the wall. the next earthquake occurs, the wall is designed to resist and the movement of the sand and allowed it to move down hill. this is a classic example of the creek and degree flow and exists all the way the area. we might see the other evidence. we have done nothing to improve the quality and the strength of the dam. >> one of the things that has come up in the policy issue over and over is that people are concerned that construction of a new building or the upper story might exacerbate these kinds of soil problems. we have extra review where we might have extra problems. it does that construction have an impact? it is a good idea to come to a peer review or a geotechnical review process as part of determining. >> in january of this year, the california building code requires almost all of san francisco that we get geologist and a geotechnical engineer. it was a state bu

we were paying people to work to fix roads and murals and we remember the wpa murals. you can talk the second stimulus. don't believe anybody that says there's nothing that can be done. nothing is being done. because there's such a relentless focus on other issues and very little attention being paid to this. how am i doing for time? okay. now how the financial crash happened is a fairly complex story. but how it has spread to the main street economy is fairly simple. american households, individuals, families lost $14 trillion in wealth. $14 trillion in housing wealth, 401(k)s, stockwell, et cetera, et cetera. and economist talk about something called the wealth effect. it's a very simple idea that when you lose wealth, or gain wealth, you spend less or spend more. to adjust. it's very common sense. i have a lot of wealth. you want to go out to dinner. that's fine. it's on me. and if you look at housing wealth, for example, they say that about five cents for every dollar is the wealth effect. it's depresses demand. consumer demand represented about 70% of our economy.

at the end of his term -- he had a lot of wpa and cpa programs, government programs.t the end of his term, the unemployment rate was 3.0%. i did the research myself with all the administrations. i did not count which congress was in, i went by the president. they have the veto pen. i went back and i found out out of the $10.70 trillion that obama inherited, at $8.60 trillion was the republican administrations. how much was the democrats? $2.06 trillion. and don't forget, that is $10.70 trillion that obama inherited. he also inherited a $1.30 trillion deficit from of a october 2008 when the fiscal year began before 2009. that is $12 trillion. so, actually, if you go and look at it, 80% of the debt when obama took office belonged to the republicans. and the other ones want to shut it down because they are the deficit hawks. forget it. go look up the facts yourself. do the research back to 1945 and you will find out what i found out. unemployment rate, the republicans average was 6.52% over that 36-years and democrats was 4.92% over those periods of time. i guess we can
