Did a lack of funding lead to the order to ground aircraft across the U.S.?

We have had a funding problem with the FAA for decades, for many administrations. There have been inconsistency in funding, which has caused vendors to miss installation dates. Technologies continue to evolve. It's time that we spent the funds necessary to update the infrastructure in the busiest airspace in the world. Which brings me to my next point. We do know that Secretary Sean Duffy and the Donald Trump administration is asking for close to $50 billion to get this done. Do you feel that this, you just pointed out that this has been going across many administrations and not particular to this administration. Do you feel that this request is reasonable and that it's the right time to do it? I think the right time to do it was over the last 10 to 20 years. So I think that we're paying the price now, and the price tag is quite high. But if we don't do it, we're going to continue to have these infrastructure problems, these problems with older technology. And the older technology gets progressively harder to maintain. So this problem doesn't get better unless we go ahead and invest. in one of the most important industries in our country and the world, which is the aviation sector. So I think it's a good investment. It's sad to me that we haven't done it previously.
