A $1000 million funding to eliminate lead hazards, from paint to
pipes, was in Biden's Build Back Better bill.

But of course, the GOP unanimously voted against it. How could they vote for a Leftist program to USA better? No can do!

I'm glad that they voted against it! It was a scam! A money-grab!

Unlike the 1.9 trillion the GOP wasted on tax credits for the most wealthy persons and companies you mean? And you only want the government to pay for cleaning up the lead problem if it was granted by the GOP, but if it came from the "Lefties" it's a scam. How's that for really, really stupid?

Yeah well, I can only pity all you stupid Trumpies that don't understand the difference between waste and investment.

Every million given to the wealthy is spent on private jets, superyachts and extra mansions, while a million for the lower and middle classes is spent on rent and food, and sometimes on loan sharkes trying to get rid of their student loans.

Are your lead pipes on your property, or are they part of the infrastructure that feeds water to your water district as a whole? If they are on your property, I can guarantee those were not covered and will only ever get replaced if you pay for them.

It's my city's piping system that has lead pipes. The county health dept makes
it clear that we need to run our water for 60 seconds before drinking it.

OK, that is not good.

If they are part of the infrastructure, then that statememt above would lead me to believe that they should have been replaced. Do you know if your water district applied for the funds?

I don't know, but either way, it's a scam. There's no way to justify certain cities remaining with lead in their drinking water, after reading what they say on the whitehouse website.

Every parent in Binghamton knows that we've got lead in our drinking water. If
any of these parents know about the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, then the truth about Democrats should be 100% crystal clear for them at this point.

Indeed, I can see why you feel strongly about this. Are there any
movements to get locals banded together to get answers from your water
company?

I never trusted the Democrats with the money in the first place, so it would
be contradictory for me to argue about it with them now. But stay tuned, and maybe someday we'll discover where all this money ended up.

Should I rile up the locals? Demand our pipes? No. But it would behoove Republicans to make information about this scam be widely known. But will they act on that opportunity to show everyone how full of it Democrats are? Not a chance!

If tax credits for American businesses is a money-grab, then who's grabbing
the money? Not Democrats, and not Republicans either; it's businesses who do business in the USA, not like those Biden kids who do business with the CCP.

Hello Bj”rn,

But of course, the GOP unanimously voted against it. How could they
vote for a Leftist program to USA better? No can do!

I'm glad that they voted against it! It was a scam! A money-grab!

Revenues vs Spending -

Total Revenues - $4.05 trillion USD
Total Spending - $6.82 trillion USD

National Debt of the USA - $30.89 trillion USD
That is $92,749 per person in America (men, women & children)

How did this happen?

Tax cuts for the wealthy, without raising revenue (taxes) to pay
for it, is the main reason. If not the only reason.

"Don't tax me, don't tax you, tax that man behind the tree!"
Huey P. Long's brother said that. And he meant every word he said.

Unlike the 1.9 trillion the GOP wasted on tax credits for the most wealthy persons and companies you mean? And you only want the government to
pay for cleaning up the lead problem if it was granted by the GOP, but if it came from the "Lefties" it's a scam. How's that for really, really stupid?

Why should the wealthy pay for messes caused by others? The wealthy
have already paid far more taxes than everybody else. Soaking the rich
is not the answer to the problems that exist. Better for others to
clean up their own mess, at their own expense.

Yeah well, I can only pity all you stupid Trumpies that don't understand
the difference between waste and investment.

Massive tax cuts for the wealthy enables those with the gold to
invest in business and industry, thus creating jobs and growing our
ecomony. That is what David Stockman told Ronald Reagan. And both
Maggie Thatcher and Donald Trump have heeded that advice ever since.

Every million given to the wealthy is spent on private jets, superyachts
and extra mansions, while a million for the lower and middle classes is spent on rent and food, and sometimes on loan sharkes trying to get rid of their student loans.

Isn't that great? Oil tycoom Pat Taylor got the Louisiana state
legislature to create what is known as the TOPS program, which paid
the tuition for college students. Originally funded for 15,000
students, the Louisiana state legislature expanded it to include
all students who graduated from high school with at least a 2.5
average. And now the MAGA Republicans in the Louisiana state
legislature cannot get rid of it.

Even with free student loans students in Louisiana still needed
to take out loans in order to continue their college education.
Which is why Biden's student loan forgiveness program has been
welcomed by so many students and former students, not only in
Louisiana but also everywhere else.

Here is a text of President Biden's speech he gave in Pennsylvania -

For those who have missed President Biden's speech, here is a
transcript, unedited, in its entirety -

The speech was well-crafted, and the President pulled no punches.
His blows were so fierce, the MAGA crowd made several online death
threats (according to Yahoo News).

Now what on earth could possibly have upset them so much? Could
it have been something the POTUS said in his address?

"Too much of what's happening in our country today is not normal.
Donald Trump and he MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that
threatens the very foundations of our republic."
~ President Joe Biden, 9/1/2022


For Life,
Lee

And if we do discover that, you can be sure that most of the money never ended up going where the Democrats said it would.

You got that right. Because some Republicans benefitted too and they don't want that to be known.

It would be interesting to know.

They may be waiting for some of their constituents to complain about what
is going on in their district, re: lead pipes with known issues that are
not being replaced.
