When Barack Obama was sworn into office, he promised America that he would bring her back from the depths of hell, and put us back on the map. He persuaded A LOT of people that he was the guy for the job. The commander and chief of the greatest country on earth is supposed to make sure that ALL Americans are taken care of, and protected before, and after any major event. That’s not what Obama did for the residents of Flint, Michigan. Luckily, America elected a man that would do just that. No, it wasn’t Barack Obama. President Trump is one of the only Presidents to keep the promises he made on the campaign trail.
Flint, Michigan is a suburb North West of Detriot. The population of Flint is around 100,000 people. The city of Flint has had its ups and downs like almost every city, but the biggest effect on Flint has been the Auto Industry. Buick provided thousands of jobs for people as well as GM in Detriot. With the Buick lot going under, and GM helping bring down the greater Detriot economy, the people of Flint felt it couldn’t get any worse. But it Did. The residents of Flint woke up to the startling news that the water they were drinking was contaminated with high levels of lead. This was caused in 2014 when the drinking water source for the city was changed to the Flint River. The reason? Poor city management of money. Like most every liberal leaning towns, the Democratic leadership failed to pay the bills and was forced to switch.
Scientific studies proved that the water was in fact contaminated with lead and was present in the current water supply. A federal state of emergency was declared in January of 2016. Everyone in the city of Flint was told to use bottles of water that had been brought in instead of drinking anything from the faucets. Barack Obama promised he would tackle Flint, and hold the people who caused this disaster accountable. Lik always, Obama was just pandering for political points. He was going to leave the issue to the next President who he thought was going to be Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton traveled to Flint during her campaign and talked about how much she cared for the people of Flint, and how she was going to make sure she took care of the people there if she were to become President. It’s almost as if she told them… vote for me and you will get free stuff, or vote for him, and he will let you all d*e.
Under authority granted the agency by the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act of 2016, the EPA issued a $100 million grant to the beleaguered city of Flint, Michigan, to help in the effort at replacing the city’s badly corroded and lead-tainted system of water pipes.
Some progressive critics of President Donald Trump have pointed to his proposed budget cuts at the Environmental Protection Agency as proof that he is a terrible president who doesn’t care about ensuring that Americans have clean air and water.
However, the recent report from The Daily Caller about Trump’s EPA grant just did throw that narrative into a tailspin.
“The people of Flint and all Americans deserve a more responsive federal government,” said EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt in an agency news release. “EPA will especially focus on helping Michigan improve Flint’s water infrastructure as part of our larger goal of improving America’s water infrastructure.”
“We are excited and very grateful to receive these much-needed funds,” Flint Mayor Karen Weaver said. “The City of Flint being awarded a grant of this magnitude in such a critical time of need will be a huge benefit.”
“As we prepare to start the next phase of the FAST Start pipe replacement program, these funds will give us what we need to reach our goal of replacing 6,000 pipes this year and make other needed infrastructure improvements,” she added. “We look forward to the continued support of the EPA and the federal government.”
