There's a real disconnect between stated priorities and actual execution. When critical infrastructure projects—hospitals, housing—face yearslong approval cycles, you have to ask: is this genuinely an emergency, or just political theater? Meanwhile, other nations routinely complete major construction projects in days, not years. If Congress treated housing or healthcare with actual urgency, wouldn't land acquisition and permitting look completely different? The gap between what gets funded quickly versus what crawls through bureaucracy says everything about true priorities versus rhetoric.
