The SPEED Act could save the American Dream

Dear Reader,

Listen, this is big.

I've been teaching financial literacy for decades.

Work hard. Build assets. Create freedom.

That's the formula.

• Hard work alone doesn't build wealth when regulations prevent projects from—the Montanore copper mine has been stuck in environmental reviews for 40+ years 

• The SPEED Act could restore real wealth-building jobs by ending endless permitting firm timelines for federal approvals on energy, mining, logging, and infrastructure projects

• America's greatest asset is workers who know how to build— but the system blocks them with restrictive regulations. 

• Hidden inside the Big Beautiful Bill are new carve-outs that could slash your tax bill, multiply your income, and protect your family's wealth. Donald Trump and I wrote the only book that shows you exactly how. Click here to claim your copy!

But here's the problem: hard work isn't enough anymore.

Not because all Americans got lazy. Because the system won't let them work.

The Town Where Hard Work Built Wealth

Libby, Montana. Timber town. Real America.

For generations, kids graduated. No college debt. Just boots, gloves, and someone teaching them the trade.

By their twenties, they owned homes. Trucks. Supported families.

That's real wealth building. Not speculation. Work creating assets.

Their high school mascot was the Logger. When the football team scored, chainsaws roared from the bleachers.

That sound meant respect for millwrights, welders, and loggers who built the West.

That world's gone. Not because people stopped working. Because the government stopped letting them.

Forty Years of Paperwork

Just outside Libby sits the Montanore Project.

One of the largest undeveloped copper and silver deposits in the country.

First proposed in the 1980s. Still stuck in environmental reviews. Over 40 years.

Entire generations grew up, started families, moved away while a project that could support hundreds of jobs sat frozen on paper.

Not because the resource wasn't there. Not because workers weren't capable.

Because the permitting process never ends.

You Can't Build Wealth Without Work

You build wealth through productive work that creates value.

But you can't create value if you can't work.

Over the past two decades, millions of acres of Montana timber burned. Enough lumber to build millions of homes.

All while projects that could have thinned forests, reduced fire risk, and kept mills running were delayed or killed.

Lost paychecks. Shuttered mills. Apprenticeships that never started. Families watching opportunities disappear while regulators demanded one more study.

That's not freedom. That's dependency.

Mike Rowe Gets It

Mike Rowe's been fighting this for years through "Dirty Jobs" and testimony before Congress.

"Something fundamental has broken," he says. "Not a week goes by that I don't hear from some essential industry leader desperate for skilled workers."

Where are they? "They're in the eighth grade."

His mikeroweWORKS Foundation awarded nearly $20 million in scholarships to Americans choosing trade school over four-year degrees.

Great. I support it.

But here's the problem: you can train all the welders and miners you want.

If projects never break ground, those skills are worthless.

The Debt Trap vs. Real Wealth

Without real jobs, young Americans get pushed toward debt-financed degrees.

Borrow $100,000. Get a paper diploma. Hope for employment.

That's not wealth building. That's debt slavery.

College isn't for everyone. Trade skills build real wealth.

But only if there's work to do.

The SPEED Act Solution

Congress is debating the SPEED Act right now.

It sets firm timelines on federal permitting for energy, mining, logging, and infrastructure projects.

Ends endless reviews. Lets responsible projects move forward. Still protects land and water.

It passed the House 221-196. Now needs the Senate.

This matters enormously.

You can't rebuild the middle class if jobs never get off the drawing board.

You can't build wealth through hard work if the government won't let you work.

Freedom Requires Opportunity

I teach people to build assets, create passive income, and achieve financial freedom.

But freedom requires opportunity.

If kids graduate and can't find work that builds wealth—just debt or service jobs that keep them broke—they never become free.

They become dependent.

Real freedom comes from building wealth through productive work. Creating value. Owning assets.

But first, you need the opportunity to work.

America's Greatest Asset

America's greatest renewable resource isn't solar or wind.

It's the work ethic of people who know how to build, fix, mine, mill, weld, and wire.

They don't need lectures about dignity. They live it.

They want to work. Want to build. Want to create wealth for their families.

The problem isn't them. It's the system blocking them.

Forty years for a copper mine permit. Millions of acres burning while forest projects sit in paperwork. Trade graduates with skills but no projects.

That's not protecting anything. That's destroying everything.

What Needs to Happen

Pass the SPEED Act.

Set real timelines. End endless reviews. Let projects start.

Not by weakening standards. By applying common sense.

Right now, the system doesn't make sense. Doesn't protect the environment. Doesn't create wealth. Just blocks opportunity.

When opportunity gets blocked, hard work becomes meaningless.

You can't work your way to wealth if there's no work to do.

You can't build assets if projects never get built.

You can't achieve freedom if regulations keep you dependent.

Let Them Work 

My formula still works: work hard, build assets, create freedom.

But only if you can actually work.

Government regulations prevent millions from doing productive work that builds real wealth.

Montanore sat in paperwork for 40 years. Generations left Montana because opportunity never came.

Mike Rowe's training thousands. But without projects breaking ground, skills go nowhere.

The SPEED Act could fix this. Set timelines. End delays. Let Americans work again.

America's greatest asset isn't resources in the ground. It's workers who know how to use them.

Let them work. Let them build wealth. Let them be free.

That's how you restore the American Dream.
