at the washington metro area. virginia has a lot of department of defense employees throughout the state, not necessarily in the washington area. 26,600 and alabama. 29,000 in washington state. 24,000 in oklahoma. it is not just inside the beltway. or the beltway and its environs being affected. of the people have a misconception that all the federal employees working for the government are concentrated here in this area as paper pushers. but we are talking about depots, arsenals, military installations across the country, military hospitals, schools. we have transportation security officers, meat and poultry inspectors, people who are very modestly paid working across the country. it's going to be devastating to the workforce. host: we just showed a breakdown by agency of the civilian federal work force. how many of them are union members represented by you or other groups? guest: we are by far the largest federal employee union. there are other unions that represent federal employees particularly one in the treas

host: what is the impact in the washington d.c. metro area as opposed to other places in the united states? guest: there will be an impact in the defense industry and in virginia. this area has done a little better over the past years with the ramp up in security and defense spending after 9/11. this area has been a little better in terms of jobs and income than the rest of the country. the washington, d.c. area may see some of the pressure of the rest of the country has seen. host: we have a line set aside for those who are unemployed. ernie, tell us your story. caller: not much of a story. i have been unemployed for a little more than a year. i do not understand what the media is not putting more pressure on congress about passing this jobs bill, this infrastructure bill that has been there for two years already. it seems like the republicans almost do not want to see this country prosper. they have a serious problem that if they -- if we get full employment, they will not get in anymore. host: you have been unemployed a year. what did

live in maryland, according to research we have done, this is overall about 340,000 in the washington d.c. metrorea, virginia and maryland. a lot setting that number is too big, but number of employees that takes to run the federal government. guest: i would say in fact because of drastic reductions over the last several years, we have people who are doing the jobs that two or three people used to do years ago. and so, what has not been factored in this is the consideration that in fact the federal government has actually shrunk by operations. many agencies have not gone through what hiring in order to try to accommodate for these cuts without having a devastating impact on existing employees. and so, i think of several government has axed done a lot to tighten up operations over the last several years -- actually done a lot to tighten up. air traffic controllers, those are things we cannot do without. the food inspection, safety officers. maryland's it, it hit particularly hard in education. we have the distinction in maryland having the number one schools and the nation for five years running

washington, d.c. airports canceling. we are anticipating cancellations and delays to the new york metro area airports such as newark, jfk, still unfolding a little bit there. so still remains to be seen. >> reporter: so what we can clearly assess from all this is, yes, there are cancellations. right now there are delays right now. but this is a major storm system that's affecting anywhere from boston all the way through connecticut. really the tri-state area and the snow, rain and wind will be in the forecast through tonight all the way into friday so if you are frying to the east coast, i would certainly anticipate airport delays if not cancellations through friday. reporting live with mobile weather at sfo, roberta gonzales, kpix 5. >>> house of representatives were able to pass a piece of legislation before fleeing the snowstorm. a 267-151 vote approved federal funding through september and avoids a government shutdown at the end of the month. the stop-gap does leave in place some of the automatic spending cuts that kicked in last week. >>> we are going to be able to diagnose more patients with stroke, deliver more pr

have 20% to 22% for davis-bacon wage scale and 17% for mass transit to buy people cheap metro tickets in washington, d.c., subway tickets in no or the l in chicago or the cable cars in san francisco, subsidized by people buying gas. add that all up and you're going to find, if you're good at math and paying attention, mr. speaker, that number comes to about 67 or 68 cents out of the dollar that goes for something else other than roads and bridges. now, how can we justify raising a user fee on the gas tax, as we call it, rather than reprioritizing that gas fax dollar pie where you get a third of the -- tax dollar pie where you get a third of the money going to roads and brings and 2/3 going to something else. i appreciate the gentleman who spoke earlier if he'd take a stand on that perhaps we could find a bipartisan solution. another is child labor. he made the argument that it was the unions that drive the child labor issue and now kids don't have to worry when they go to work. that's correct. hardly anywhere can young people go to work. i ask you to think about some years ago there was a time you

if you've ever been to washington, my favorite are the ads in the cab or metro station where they knowmbers of regulatory agency where they make thesis ta get the ads. this is money market mutual funds work for american businesses. why risk changing them now? and this is a way of essentially work the refs on the regulatory process. my question is, given regulatory process by barney frank to get it to pass and given the stats at the beginning about deadlines that have been missed, do you think the process is unfolding encouragingly? was that the right thing to do? there are some that say they should have just broken up the banks. >> broadly speaking, i think that the rule-making across dodd/frank are behind where most people want to see them, in terms of level of development. look, i'm realistic about this. at the cfpb we hit every deadline we were given and it did not come without some human cost. you should see the team of economists, they are like zombies. the most loving zombies. >> people are working their butts off. >> it's a gigantically huge undertaking given with reasonably arb

washington, d.c., it may shut down. may or may not. because it does look like right around the metro d.c.e could see three to seven, three to eight inches of snowfall. but well to the west, this is where we're looking at significantly heavier amounts. but this isn't going to happen until overnight and going into wednesday. then you'll start to see the wind really pick up. here's some of the snowfall totals we've already seen. you can see it's north dakota. you would expect some significant snowfall expected there. but yeah, 12 inches, beginning of march. not that unusual but definitely delays spring just a little bit. why is this not a definitive forecast? the computer models have been all over the place. they have been. actually, two systems coming together for the mid-atlantic, and if it travels up the eastern seaboard, new york, boston, you're in on the game, too. >> all right, our thanks to you in atlanta right now. a lot of the country watching that storm. >> absolutely. thank you. >>> five minutes past the hour. big story developing right now in venezuela. the health of president hu
