systems are stuck back in the one thousand nine hundred new graph released by investment research firm dca shows why non-defense related infrastructure spending was around three hundred twenty five billion dollars. as per year when george w. bush stepped foot inside the white house today it's around two hundred thirty five billion dollars a year a ninety billion dollars a year drop in funding from when bush took office it's like this republicans backed by america's super rich have taken this is the money for our schools our hospitals our homes they've taken about a third of those total money right through a bunch of this money that we from our infrastructure that we rely on to survive this is what it and they gave it to the billionaires the banks the oil tycoons. a whole bunch of it so there's only just a little bit left the same as republicans have repeatedly refused to fund comprehensive in for infrastructure spending all in the name of austerity which is a fancy way of saying move the money over here. but cutting funding by cutting taxes on rich people but cutting funding to the nation'

here you go, philadelphia two hours and 10 minutes 45 minutes at jfk, dca about 30 minutes, newark 30 minutes as well. the rain is changing over to snow in pennsylvania and also into new jersey. this is a bad thing, because the roads are wet. they have not been able to pre-salt the bridges, because the rain would just wash away the salt, so now the snow is coming down, in all of now pennsylvania, into bucks county, all of philadelphia itself. light at best, but the wet roadways will lead to icy bridges. the bridges will just freeze up all at once. they won't be able to get all those trucks in the right places. here's what it looks like if just go to google earth and click on traffic, it isn't so nice. lever every road is red, and there was a pretty big wreck on the turnpike that had an eight-mile backup, now at least clearing, but eight miles of cars? that will take you a while. >>> looks like things better tomorrow afternoon, but between now and then not so easy. >>> from another expert, travelocity senior editor courtney scott, let's say you're out there, it's the last day, you're t

. >> right now dca sufficient ruds or should we have additional language? >> i think some of the additional language with respect to the role of the committee would be helpful in addressing some of these concerns going forward. i think also and i mentioned to senator corker one can imagine on the federalism point potentially a stronger reservation to deal with it better with some issue that these ruds are available in the ruds can be drafted. >> i'm out of time mr. chairman. thank you. >> thank you mr. chairman to the witnesses. your questions have been help both. one of the reasons that i love being assigned to this committee as a new senator is the mission statement is simple. an american leadership in the world is the mission statement on the committee and that is combination of diplomatic and moral leadership and many witnesses have spoken to this. we have is a country shown great moral leadership on the issue of folks with disabilities. off the top of my head and with my research tool during testimony the rehabilitation act of 1973 the education for al

that may help you out because between bwi, baltimore, and also down to dca, washington, d.c., there's a couple different paths. one's the parkway, one is 95. if brian is listening, don't take the parkway. we're down to 15 miles per hour there. 95, all green. there you go, brian. trying to give you a heads up because i know you're behind and i always root for the underdog, as we know. there's the snow. new york city, you're almost there. we're getting snow into parts of philadelphia. getting tweets back here into westchester county, seeing snow coming in, bucks county seeing snow. all the way down to the delaware water gap. so the problem is, i guess, if we get to 4:00 or 5:00 tonight and see snow start to stick on the ground, i think by that time, people knew they had to get out early and often and they're getting out there at least on time. if you leave three hours early and are delayed three hours, you get there on time. there are the expected delays. nothing now approaching the four-hour delay mark, so that's good news. that's where we thought some of the airports could be when the

this is why this market was targeted by congress in the dca specifically because it had some problems. many people who buy their own insurance for example before the wall found they couldn't buy coverage at any cost because the health condition and the insurers were able to reach out to people that had a health condition or charge them more or perhaps exclude that particular condition from coverage and as it was pointed out some of the plans have a limited benefit. i've written about plans that have maybe 100-dollar a day benefit for hospitalization. if you've ever been in the hospital you know things are more than $100 a day. so they are limited benefits going away but some people actually really do take this coverage because they want it. they want a five or six or 10,000 were deductible because it comes with lower premiums. they are not happy that these plans are going away. >> host: we have the lines of this morning for folks that had their plans canceled. on that line and borat is leading from new york new york. thanks for calling this morning. >> caller: thanks for taking my cal

the dca slots great, la guardia, great, what about the people in peoria and colorado springs? >> something, that's something regulators we assume will have their eye on. as for your quarter, operating revenue up 5.2. rasm up 9.4. how long can that last? >> well, we're opening for a leg longer. we've slowed down our growth, our route network is maturing. we've led the industry in rasm every month since october 2012, and it's rasm that propelled us to the margins that we had, the record profits, as well as an operating margin. better than our competitors. you know, american, united, jetblue being the primary competitors. >> and by rsm, we're talking revenue per seat mileage, right? >> that's correct. >> how do we see companies trending more generally? are they the kind of sustainable growth that will keep you profitable even as consolidation continues? >> well, we think we'll be fine. you know, we're already kind of in the gate before the gate's slammed shut. you know, i think the next guy that wants to start an airline will have a difficult time. we had patient, deep-pocketed i
