Jake Sullivan highlighted a critical disconnection between the decade-long vision of the Biden administration and the immediate political cycles. This disjunction resulted in a failure to implement the infrastructure law effectively, as projects remain incomplete before the next election. Sullivan expressed frustration over the myriad of obstacles—laws, litigation, and bureaucratic delays—impeding the government's ability to deliver timely results. The massive infrastructure spending intended to create visible change has been bogged down, leading to regret among Biden's staff for not addressing the urgent needs voters face today.
Delay has become the default setting of American government. The 2021 infrastructure law was supposed to pump hundreds of billions into roads, bridges, rural broadband, electric vehicle chargers.
Whether it's infrastructure or submarines or energy generation or transmission lines or chip fabs – it is crazy the extent to which we have clogged up our delivery.
