Well…I have been trying to work up some outrage over the shenanigans of the repubs for a while but their trashing of the country for profit has gotten so brazen that I just have to say something. Right here in Michigan we see the results of all these giveaways to the rich with the lead poisoning of the people of Flint, caused by the emergency manager there making the decision to disconnect from the Detroit water system and to start pumping water from the Flint River since it would save the city 12 million dollars a year. For 16 months now, since the switch, the people of Flint have not had any water that is safe to drink since the EPA and Michigan DEQ says that there are no safe levels of lead in water…none, that means that any lead makes the water unsafe…but, Snyder and his cronies knew that and just kept doing study after study and dragging their feet since to do something might mean they would have to raise some taxes to pay for the fix…and the result is we have many of our fellow citizens that are permanently damaged since lead poisoning never goes away…it can’t be treated, and the results will be felt by the poorest of us for the rest of their lives…all just to keep cutting taxes for the rich. This is how the repubs govern folks…it’s all bottom line to them…balance the budget with no thought to what that kind of nonsense does to the people…you have seen it time and time again here in Michigan and across the country from the repubs..ideology before the people and to hell with who it hurts…I just hate these guys…geez…
