On the recordOctober 23, 2013
Our Nation is facing a fiscal crisis and Americans are sick of how much money Congress wastes. The fact that there is between $60 billion and $80 billion in old, inactive projects and backlog means something is wrong. It took less than a decade for the United States to go to the Moon. How could it possibly take decades to build a dam? Hoover Dam was built in 5 years. If we aren't going to do these projects right and on time, we shouldn't be doing them at all. We need to prioritize and follow through on projects that are important. It is not radical to clear out old and back-dated projects. I yield back the balance of my time.
