Yeah, right. Like there’s any left. We’ve only been replacing them for fifty years.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki also told reporters on Monday that "it will put Americans to work replacing 100 percent of our nation's lead water pipes"

The same old leftist belief that merely paying someone to do something, no matter what that thing is, somehow boosts the economy. What they fail to understand is that the economy only grows when something of economic value is performed in exchange for money. They might as well just pay people to dig holes and then fill them again, for all the good their lead pipe replacement make-work project will do.

The most egregious example of this false belief is the left’s touting of “green jobs.” Just more paying people to do something that didn’t need doing and that delivers no actual value.

I lived in the city of Rochester NY. Lead pipes. I'm 77. My mom lived to be 90. My dad lived to 80.

It's like the asbestos that surrounded heating pipes....Just leave stuff alone. Stop the panic crap. If anything...just add a filter. Don't even think of replacement. It's stupid.

Every lead pipe! Yup, I got a bridge to sell you. Impossible, not enough money that can be borrowed to do just that. Might as well build a pyramid or two by hand while we are at it.

Isn’t it the solder?

Psaki, that moron, doesn’t even know how to describe the problem correctly.

And it’s not the pipes. It’s the solder.

Then again, Deep State likely doesn’t give a crap.

Perhaps some of the ancient mains in big cities like NY have lead sections. I’m not sure but not water supply pipes in homes.

Sounds like another kickback to the pipe and steamfitters unions.

Meanwhile, guess what's not being fixed? Here's an example from Upstate NY this morning...

Bastiat the "Broken Window" comes to mind.

Not a chance. Older cities sometimes still have wood pipes in a few places. They’ve lost the maps and have no idea where their pipes are even located. I’ve seen that in a 50 year old community. 150 year old towns my have no clue where every single pipe is located.

Out of 55 billion 1 million will go to dig up some old pipe going to Obama’s HQ in DC.
