America once prided itself in building great projects; now, those projects are hampered by bureaucracy and overregulation.

-It will have taken almost 25 years to permit and construct The Gross Reservoir expansion project in Colorado, expected to be completed in 2027.

-It took almost 20 years to permit the Kensington gold mine in Alaska.

-It took four years to construct a new runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, but it took 15 years to get the permits

-It took Shell seven years and $7 billion to get the federal government’s permission to drill a single oil-exploration well off the coast of Alaska.

-It took 17 years to receive a permit for the SunZia energy project in the Western US.

- It took more than 40 years to permit the Cooper Landing Bypass project, a 15 mile highway project in Alaska.

-New U.S. highway construction projects usually take between nine and 19 years from initial planning and permitting to completion of construction.

In FY2023, the U.S. Government spent $6.16. trillion while only bringing in $4.47 trillion.

The last budget surplus was in 2001.

This trend must be reversed, and we must balance the budget.

Federal government agencies are using, on average, just 12% of the space in their DC headquarters. The Department of Agriculture, with space for more than 7,400 people, averaged 456 workers each day (6% occupancy).

Why are American taxpayer dollars being spent to maintain empty buildings?
