English term or phrase: That doesn\'t happen all that often
In New York we know that the future is what we make it, the future is what we build it. We look around today and we see China growing, we see the gulf states growing, we see parts of Europe passing us by and we know what needs to be done. You saw in the video. Everyone knows what needs to be done. President Obama says the same thing as President Bush, says the same thing as President Clinton says the same thing as President Trump. **That doesn't happen all that often**. They're all saying the same thing - it's about infrastructure and the best infrastructure has the best economy. The challenge is in the doing. The challenge is in getting it done. That lies both our challenge and our opportunity.

Non è una cosa che succede tutti i giorni


Explanation:
