I seen a lot of communities where people had major benefits from the American Rescue plan, but they don't necessarily know that that's going to be. Once I was, I was back last summer in South Bend, for a wedding, went running with an old friend who is a city planner. He took me on this rail-to-trail project. It was cool like that that's now this great multi-use Trail and halfway through the run. I said when I remember this being in my Park spot that's a numeric get this done and he said I was and that was a real wake-up call to me that the city. And it was not obvious that I was benefiting from an asset created, under the president's leadership when something is unambiguous Lee and unconsciously good. You have to work ten times harder to get attention to it. The best things were doing because it's pretty hard to argue against them specially online. Which is one of the reasons why it's important to make up to that Dynamic by physically getting out there, when we do get out there, it's magnificent. So yes, we're going to be on the road to be drawing attention to this good work. Where appropriate we're going to be drawing attention to the contrast with legislators to describe this is wasteful spending when we were trying to get it through Congress but are just as happy as anybody else know that the spending is coming to benefit their communities and some of the president's other accomplishments like The Pact act, the eligibilities fair for veterans or or the $35 a month. If it's a new airport terminal or New Bridge, you can take years, but I would also add even before, even if it's a few years before you are driving on that bridge. It may just be a few more weeks before your cousin's got a job working on that bridge and so we're going to be at the size of the economic benefits as well as the better infrastructure that's coming out of this work that President Biden has established a sense of belonging to benefiting every generation and I would had leading on policies that really speak to when I think is one of the central problems in in in this country which is short-termism versus long-term, so he's dialed in on the details. But also very, very focused on the big picture and applying level of energy that moves through the administration and certainly makes departments like mine, feel accountable for bathroom. The pace of his ambition. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg Talks Plans to Promote Biden's Infrastructure Projects","description":"U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg sat down for an hour-long conversation with TIME correspondents and editors on June 9 in its D.C. bureau, and discussed the Biden Administration's summer plans to aggressively promote the new bridges, roads, airport and broadband projects getting underway that may otherwise go unnoticed until their completion.\n\n\n","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/QdRZv5DU/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2023-06-15T21:13:28.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/QdRZv5DU.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/QdRZv5DU/","duration":"PT3M16S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/QdRZv5DU/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
