Transcontinental railroad: built in 6 years (1869)

Golden gate bridge: 4 years (1937)

Hoover dam: 5 years, finished 2 years early (1936)

The Pentagon, largest office building on earth: 16 months (1943)

These were all built by citizens buying bonds.

Now, the infrastructure bond issuance process can take as long as it used to take to build this feats. It's time for a major overhaul of how muni bonds are issued.
What do the greatest feats of American ingenuity have in common?

They were mostly funded by normal citizens buying bonds.
