2.6 billion. Even 15 billion sounds like an unimaginably big number.
But for something of this scale, it's not enough.
I was hoping you could do the math, but here it is:
15 billion divided by 700 million is enough for 24 and almost half a city.
Do you think that's enough to fulfil this pledge Biden just made?
Because if not. If you do realize there is literally zero way this is accomplished....

You understand there's no way this will actually be accomplished?
But you think it's uplifting the American public is being lied to a month before the election with a promise that has 0% chance of coming true?
You do you homie.
But at 700 million a city... Even 70 billion isn't enough.

Fiscal Year 2025 started October 1st, Congress approved a stop gap so they can continue appropriations. You think a president shouldn't announce anything or do anything in the months leading up to an election?
Also, it's lead pipes. We don't use them anymore. Every pipe replaced is a step forward. Biden just announced a deadline.
They've been consistently disbursing funds for this and this time is no different. Here's last May's news : https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/biden-harris-administration-announces-3-billion-lead-pipe-replacement-advance-safe
One that we have zero chance of meeting...
