It took the Affordable Care Act four years to begin delivering actual insurance to anybody. It took on the Inflation Reduction Act, which is doing the much smaller job of just beginning to negotiate prices on some drugs, three years to get that started. I mean, we built, I mean, these are the classic examples, but we built the Empire State Building in a year.

The average environmental review takes four and a half years. And just a few years to go to get bridge. I agree. You know all this. The thing that I want to say about this, which is not Joe Biden's fault, but it is the fault of now, I think, a long period of Democrats beginning to get accustomed to this slowness. Yeah. This is not going to work politically. I agree with that.

You are not going to hold the people you need to hold if your answer in every term is you can't feel what I did because the government takes too long. If it had to take too long, fine. But it doesn't actually, right? These are man-made- And it's not just government.

Yeah, but they would build fast in a lot of cases if we let them build fast. I mean, they're not why we didn't get rural broadband done. That was not them. No, but that's just, you know, I agree. That's 50 state solutions and thousands and thousands of municipalities.
