host: next up is roy from east hartford connecticut, also on the independent line. go ahead. what are your thoughts on wall street. caller: a look of it like this. their failures in 2008 with a big things played a major part in our demise and past failures. we recovered somewhat, but in the long term, i see that a lot of people are going to get host again, that is big-time money back and wall street. before we know it, we will be in serious trouble. like everybody says with donald trump, we're sending all of our job opportunities to mexico, china, and so forth. i say, we had corporate cronies major monopolies pyramid processes, and ponzi schemes etc. wall street and big banks have played a big role in our demise since the 1930's, if you think about it, with the market crashed back then. to make a long story short, what we need is a people's investment network where the people own, operate, and controlled her own destiny and for seeable future. i have been working on that. i submitted various proposals to independent, republican, d and democratic candidates with the hopes that

change in waterbury known as the mixmaster and replacing the aetna of viaduct portions of i-84 in for hartford will take years to complete. this bill provides only the illusion of a long-term authorization. backed only by three years of dedicated funding for highways and no -- let me repeat, no -- dedicated funding for the critical infrastructure investments in our nation's commuter railroads. as the american people discover what's in this bill they're going to say again why can't they do something? why can't they do something better than this train wreck and car collision of a bill? i voted against the motion to proceed because of its failure to provide a path forward. this bill's failure to provide a reliable funding source for the commuter rail systems that millions of americans depend on every day and its failure to address our country's ongoing crisis in transportation safety. we've seen the evidence of safety failure in a variety of tragic instances. philadelphia westchester county where a collision at a gate crossing in westchester county killed six people. a derailment in the bronx tha
