for the first time in over 40 years today we're issuing a proposed new rule under the National Environmental Policy Act to completely overhaul the dysfunctional bureaucratic system that has created these massive obstructions it took four years to build a Golden Gate Bridge five years to build the Hoover Dam and less than one year can you believe that to build the Empire State Building yet today it can take more than 10 years just to get a permit to build a simple road just a very simple Road it's big government at its absolute worst and other countries
look at us and they can't believe it the United States will not be able to compete and prosper in the 21st century if we continue to allow a broken and outdated bureaucratic system hold us back from building what we need the roads the airports schools everything will cut the federal permitting timeline for major projects down to two years and ideally we're going to try and get even less than that so you'll be instead of 21 22 25 8 9 12 15 we're gonna get it down to 2 years and maybe less hey NBC News viewers
