Tell a lie often enough
.... and it becomes fact
Rachel Mad Cow did a show on MSNBC tonight and a lot of it was perfectly true. Lead is there, it is bad, it came from the pipes and the pipes should have been replaced 50 years ago when Flint was rolling in auto money. It is true that they were damaged because the Flint water district did not add the SAME corrosion inhibitors that Detroit uses. Where the lies start is when they start laying blame. #1 it was not the state that decided to switch from Detroit water to the Flint River The fact is the Detroit water district terminated their contract with Flint in retaliation for Genesee County building a competing pipeline. #2 It was not the state that decided to go with the Genesee county water system, (something they completely ignored) it was the city council and Rachel admitted it was a 7-1 vote. The unanswered question was, WHO decided not to add the corrosion inhibitor that Detroit uses? It certainly wasn't money since that would only be about $100 a day for the whole city. That pretty much had to be the Flint water district manager or his staff. Why wasn't there anyone in the water district who knew that water without the corrosion inhibitor would cause this problem? I have posted the water reports from Flint and Detroit here already and there is not any significant difference in pH or even the salt they are talking about (~4ppm) They did say there were failures at every level of government, right before they said it was all the governor's fault. I bet if Grandholm was still there they would have found a way to blame it on Bush. I assume they now want the federal government to spend the billions to replace all of that pipe. Are we going to do it in every other city that used lead pipe? I guess a $1000 surtax on everyone's 1040 would cover it. |

He probably put in the lead pipes to begin with, and was using the inhibitor money to pay off the Flint water department folks to keep their mouths shut." === If you want to play Harry you need to do it right. "It's the conservatrash repugnicant governor's fault. He conspired with the crooked banksters to install the lead pipes as a way of poisoning the poor democratic party residents." |

If you really want to fake a Harry, blame it on Cheeny or Bush It's their fault that the murder rates in Flint and Detroit are so high. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |
