So the federal government should be responsible for every rinky-dink water well in Bumblefuck, Minnesota?

> failed to anticipate not only these infrastructure breach

They've been warning them for close to two decades.

Minnesota chose the path of no locks on their front doors and are now crying that someone walked in without knocking first.

The federal government could potentially oversee the most populous areas of the state and those near a military installation pretty easily. They don’t have to look at every one.

The federal government makes sure everyone who sends a venmo for $60 pays taxes on it so yeah I think securing our national infrastructure is not an unreasonable expectation.
