if you listen to those businesses, as i do on my main street tours and the conduct of roundtables and numerous business people in here and everywhere, they will tell you, loud and clear, that the two main issues are tax reform and fewer regulations. that is what is driving the problems that we are facing in america now, mr. secretary. it cannot be temporary solutions. there is no reflection of that emergency or the need to move into a direction to reform the tax code and overhaul the regulatory system. i know you said recently, in early october, that the idea that regulations affecting our economy is without foundation. but when you talk to business after business, they cited the regulatory impact. 3000 federal regulations every year. 50 dozen since 1996. more than 407 come out of the administration this year to cost an additional, to $1.70 trillion. we depend on these businesses because they are the ones who have driven past economic recoveries. now they are asking the government to make the environment conducive enough to expand the private sector, not to simply grow our government.

105 feet of passenger loading zone on howard street and in the 40 feet of passenger loading on main street. we're working with the operators. they like this location. division of sustainable streets is on board with that. they are looking at a couple other options, but we think that this one probably holds the most promise. for bicycle sharing, the original design of a temporary terminal has 10 bicycle racks on the center island. this is a very well-used by the commuters. recently, we were approached by mta staff. we're working on a bicycle sharing pilot program. they had an interest in having a bicycle sharing site near the temporary terminal. so we are working with them. we have looked at some installation sites adjacent to the tiberi terminal, particularly looking at -- and adjacent to the temporary terminal. particularly the lot at howard street. there are several layout we're looking at currently, but right now we do not have any funding. there is about five different schemes. each one has a level of sight work that needs to be done. so we need to look at that and try and find out whe

political parties this is going to continue to grow because the situation on the ground is dire for main street and you know we've seen anti-war protests and far we saw them during the bush era how is occupy wall street deferent these protests we've seen in the past or are in their prime but you know i the tea party originally not not get too far off topic but the tea party regionally i was out there when george bush was president we were calling for him into the illegal wars the never ending wars and now we're fighting our longest one of the history of this nation in afghanistan so the people who are protesting occupy wall street or fill in the blame because it's in just about every city around this country they're protesting the eggs they're saying the exact same things that we said if you getting in the tea party movement the main difference is then we were looking forward to what was going to happen with outrageous government expenditures waging wars to keep this entire going now we've seen people protest because they feel what we were talking about then we were seeing in the future then it

wall street's connected to main street. so finding a scapegoat, finding someone to blame in my opinion isn't right way to go. >> all the streets are connected. wall street connected to main street. you know, that is actually a checkable thing. if you check it, it turns out not to be true. here's a map of manhattan. there's wall street at the very bottom of manhattan over there on the left. and there is a main street in new york city. it is all the way over there sort of on the center right there. turns out they are not at all connected. in fact, they are separated by a body of water. main street in new york city is located on roosevelt island which is a lovely but tiny island in the east river. so if you want to go from main street to wall street in new york city, they are not connected. you have to use the gondola. okay? i mean, technically the tramway i guess they call it which connects roosevelt island to manhattan and thus connects main street to wall street. sorry, mitt romney, work on the metaphor. they are not connect

we need a main street agenda instead of a wall street agenda t is time to put main street back on the agenda, back at the top of the agenda and get some real regulation over wall street. >> and there is no doubt that the foreclosures continue and the third quarter in this country, they are up 14%. the banks are getting very aggressive. mayor verge ber nair row, lansing, michigan, always a pleasure, great to have you with us. >> great to be with you. >> bring in karen nussbaum, executive direct over working america, the community affiliate of the afl-cio. karen has been at occupy d.c. is this a middle class movement? >> i'll say. and it's not just the folks who are there in the parks, ed, as you talked become d ed about, ed, the teachers and librarians, construction workers thought in big numbers. but working america goes out into working class neighborhoods all over the country every single night and we are talking about occupy wall street in the neighborhoods, in those working class neighborhoods. and people embrace it. they say, yeah, that's what i've been thinking all along and i'm

we are here in walnut creek at the intersection of mount diablo boulevard and main street. if you look across the street over there right in front of bank of america, you see protestors about 100 here right now. earlier in the day, we were in san rafael where there were 200 protestors. >> main street, not wall street! >> you have 1% of the population controlling 50% of the wealth. people out of jobs foreign months. i'm -- i'm -- i'm a general contractor. my business has declined 85%. i'm barely getting by. >> reporter: a change in the zip code doesn't change the message but it does have a different messenger. the "occupy" movement in san rafael was an older crowd than what we have seen in the big cities. but they too are motivated by frustration. >> people have had a lot of fear because of loss of jobs and houses and now i hope that fear turns into some constructive anger where people go out and demonstrate and ask for what they need. >> reporter: this person needs a job. she lost hers 32 months ago and believes it was age discrimination. >> the stress i have been under for

whatever economists you are talking to, i suggested they go to main street, because 74% of the american people think we are going in the wrong direction. what is it you are not hearing? i would love to take you on a street tour. i have invited you before. i think you need to listen to the average american and what they are facing on main street, which is the decimation. these are all temporary -- that is the point. when-year tax policies are not going to make a major difference. some of those initiatives are worthwhile, but the bottom line, given the mixed message coming hard this administration on tax and a regulatory policy, they don't dare -- i am hearing from everybody, regardless of the side -- i am not making it up. i did not make it up in february, i did not make it up last year. i am trying to get the administration to concentrate on jobs, jobs, jobs. i don't know who you are talking to, i don't know who the president is talking to, but you need to talk to the average person, unfiltered. what they are talking about is we don't dare make a move, because given the dynamics of this

very little of it went to main street. for the main street bar, there is nothing. is very little money on the street. -- for the mainstream barrault work, there is nothing. there's very little money on the street. >> it went out to more than 700 banks. you are slightly mistaken in your numbers. this was designed to be up to $30 billion in potential. we cannot force the banks to apply. >> one reason they did not apply is because there was a tremendous amount of red tape. there was the declination process and not having any idea why. >> if you were in my shoes, you would want to be very careful that we're using taxpayer money carefully. judging banks is complicated. we had to rely on the supervisors. you would have done the same in my shoes. the fact that not all banks were eligible should be no surprise. it is still a tough economy coming out of the worst financial crisis since the depression. we have 7000 community banks. a lot of those are still under pressure and will not meet the test of eligibility. the reason why this took some time is because we were careful
