And I think if we look around our country, we have spent a lot of money, and I don't think we've delivered as well as we could have. We have our roads and bridges that are becoming too old and too dilapidated. It took us five years to build the Hoover Dam. Five years, four years to build the Golden Gate Bridge. It took 16 years and $15 billion in California high speed rail to not lay one track. Are you kidding me? That's the American legacy right now. (13:22–13:31)
