mr. dinges. >> you're hitting on a wage issue. i'm sure if you had a guest from labor sitting here they would talk pretty hard on this issue. that can be an issue in more of the northern states. that's not an issue in the southern states and other parts of the united states. i've heard other projects, though, in the midwest and northeast where that really wasn't an issue where the true wages that had to be paid on these projects would have been paid anyways, regardless of a prevailing wage law. that's not always the case. always i've heard this issue come up. let me say, though, this is national infrastructure week. happy national infrastructure week, everyone. it runs from today through may 23rd. part of the coalition we have on this includes not only labor, afl-cio, but also the u.s. chamber of commerce, the national association manufacturers and other major business groups in the united states. there is a very broad coalition that is supporting this issue. and if you look at all the polling across the political parties, there t

>>[timer dings] >> thank you mr.w and we will clarify that the cattle prods will be prohibited and that requests will be added to the police association group. welcome back sir. >> no tasers are no-brainer. there's no reason for tasers. you should use the net. there is no torture in it. and then once you use the net the officer does have to go over and start kicking them or hidden with a billy club either. you can easily go subdue them with 2 or 3 other officers and then no one dies. what bothers me about all of this is we have psychopathic cops that go out and shoot people and what do they say? he had a gun. mario woods-- no not mario woods for kenneth harding was just one of them. whether the officer did or didn't know he got down on his hands and knees-- and then they turn around and cover up and say a cell phone was a gun. no! lies, lies, lies, lies. these psychopathic cops need to be removed and it needs to stop. and then the way they covered up kevin harding's murder, awful. >>next speaker. welcome back. >>than

mr. dinges, a guest asked about the funds we spend on infrastructure what was accomplished? >> guest: wow. the stimulus was about $800 billion back in early 2009. of that amount, only about 150 billion at the most was spent on infrastructure. there was a little bit of misunderstanding that the whole stimulus came together during the initial phases and infrastructure was one of the keywords you were hearing. if your main objective is to put people to work having a shovel aspect makes sense. but huge chunks of the stimulus were tax cuts, about 250-300 billion, then another several hundred billions in transfers that went from the federal to the state government where they made the decisions about the money. there wasn't much left for in infrastructu infrastructure. >> host: mark is next from massachusetts on the independent line. good morning. >> caller: thank you. i always end up with you pedro and you a great moderator. your guest, thank you. i work construction, moved to new orleans worked there and moved back to the northeast. i definitely believe we need more funding but i
