The areas where it would be most needed can't afford it from the tax
revenue available. The best option would be to create jobs.
If Elon Musk could build a 10,000,000 square foot auto factory and have
it running in less than a year - he did, the same red tape cutting could
be applied to other industries to create jobs. Green energy and climate
crap need not apply. Machinists, cad / cam and robotic techs preferred.

orders, why can't the US follow suit?
