everything from monument to golden gate park to market street, other works in the collection, from the wpara, 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 collecti

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

not only stimulus, but a new wpa to put people to work, extending unemployment benefits. a tax cut in exempting the first 26% of income in the payroll tax and maybe applying the tax to over $250,000. many things we can do. but the most important thing is to get money back into the pockets of working people, get jobs back so they can turn around and buy things and that will in turn stimulate more job growth. >> grover, stimulus spending right now? >> no. look, it took the soviet union 70 years to explain socialism doesn't work, it took obama, reid, and pelosi to explain the keynesianism stimulus doesn't work. unemployment has gotten worse, not better. we need to stop the spending. the idea that you take money from some people and give it back to the economy makes us richer is silly. it makes some people poorer and helps people politically who get paid off. let's stop the spending. >> grover, question to you, then. in the wake of this report by the president's commission, should deficit reduction be a priority right now? >> no, spending reduction. the cost of government is

there are many things that can and should be done including helping our new infrastructure, our new wpaexample, to hire all of the jobless americans and put them back to work. >> you ready for a roosevelt type program like that? >> well, you know, bob reicht and i go back a long way. we are old friends. the president has identified infrastructure as a key place where there ought to be bipartisan agreement. they are installing in infrastructure as a way to attract business there. the president's view has been to help the private sector, that the government can't be leading it all itself. >> senator tom hearken, democrat of iowa, he is very upset. he doesn't think the president is passionate enough in forcing through legislation that would continue the unemployment benefits for people who have been unemployed for 99 weeks. listen to what hearkens says? >> where is the president's outrage at this? the president ought to be out there saying this is morally outrageous that we are going to deny unemployment benefit to people during this time of year, especially. >> go ahead and respond to sen

i would also like to see us pass a wpa-style jobs work program which i think would be very important given so many local governments had to slice their payrolls, resulting in fewer cops, firefighters, public works people. but i am happy about those numbers. host: while we are talking -- a tweet -- guest: we have been hearing about the fifth tier. clearly the 99ers are people past the point of receiving unemployment insurance benefits. i think it is essential that we make sure that given that unemployment is still hovering right below 10% that we could look at the 99ers with not just compassion but with a savvy economic mind and understand that these people are going to cost and we need to put money in their hands -- again, so we can inject demand. host: maryland. john is an independent. caller: thank you for taking my call. a pleasure to speak to use, sir. -- to you, sir. i have a question about things that have been worrying me. i served 40 years in the army. i am drawing, of course, a pension -- very modest, but barely grossed $19,000 a year. i am also disabled and i was put on soc
