My fellow
Americans, we are the
nation that built the
Golden Gate bridge in four
years and the
Hoover dam in five.

Now it takes us much as
a decade just to plan a
major permit or a major
infrastructure or anything
even remotely major
in our country.

And that's ridiculous.

And it's going to change.

This week I laid out a
bold and exciting new
vision for the
infrastructure in America
that will make our
country faster safer and
wealthier.

Frankly it will make
our country greater.

For too long America
has spent trillions and
trillions of dollars
building up other
countries while our own
country decade and our own
people suffered.

Our highways and railways
and airports and seaports
have all been neglected
and its holding our
economy back but now our
economy is starting to
roar.

and it's time to rebuild
our great nation.

and we have to think big,
and think big again.

my new vision for American
infrastructure will
generate one trillion
dollars in infrastructure
investment were going to
give states and localities
more power to decide what
projects get built and how
they're funded.

And were going to get
government out of the way
by massively cutting the
federal approval time for
inductura projects of
major nature so that
infrastructure
can build again.

We will also revolutionize
air travel in America at a
time when every passenger
has GPS technology in
their pockets, air traffic
controllers rely on
technology so outdated
it's no longer
manufactured.

Our controllers do a great
job with the technology
they have but all the
flight delays and
inefficiencies still cost
our economy twenty five billion
dollars every single year
were proposing moving our
air traffic control system
to a new self-finance
nonprofit organization.

It won't need any tax
payer money and the FAA
will still be fully in
charge of safety many
other countries have done
this and the results have
been absolutely
incredible.

Next we're going to
revitalize the twelve thousand
miles of inland waterways
the life blood of the
American heartland. Our
agriculture, steel, and
energy produces depend on
these critical charters
and a single tow boat can
haul the same load as
one thousand eighteen-wheelers.
We're going to fix our fifty
year old system of locks
and dams so American
producers can get their
products to market
quickly, reliably and
efficiently. In the coming
weeks and months I will
outline additional
projects to rebuild
American infrastructure

all of which can be
achieved through my vision
for a new partnership
between Washington,
states, and the
private sector.

With the talent, skill, and
drive of the American
people there is no doubt
to the beautiful future we
can create together.

All it takes is a bold and
daring vision and the will
to make it real. America is
going to build again, under
budget and ahead of
schedule. Thank you, God
bless you, and God
bless of America.
