The EPA estimates that nine million homes in the U.S. have lead pipes.

“We’re here today because we’re finally addressing an issue that should have been addressed a long time ago in this country — the danger that lead pipes pose to our drinking water,” Mr. Biden said. “For too long, local communities have known how important it was to deal with this problem. It hadn’t been given the national priority that it demanded though. I’m here today to tell you that I’m finally insisting that it gets prioritized and I’m insisting it get done.”

~ Joseph Biden, next write-in candidate that’ll win the next election.

      but yeah, this is a perfect encapsulation of dems’ “progressive” policies. call for something that would be very good… if anyone ever makes the massive expenditure of government power and funds to get started on it. then hope that voters think you’ll come up with a plan for doing that if the party ever wins again.
