Las time the Dems used retarded rules to bring it to the floor in a way that it couldn't be debated on or amended making it difficult to pass and in a way that would piss off the Repubes just so they could run around and point fingers saying the Repubes are hearless bastards, which they did when it didn't pass:



Even Bloomberg was pissed at Dems:




And the real problem is the handling of the cash as usual, a black hole with out accountability and probably funding all kinds of stuff like more bureaucracy and projects that have nothing to do with 9/11 first responders:



Saving me the time to type it from a commenter on another article, the argument against is:

No one wants to hold back medical care and compensation from 9/11 first responders, but probably 90 percent of this money isn't going to them. Instead its being directed to hospital bailouts, union thugs and bigwigs (but I repeat myself) and other wasteful spending. The people against are speaking for the vast majority of Americans who are tired of throwing money at New York and seeing it disappear into a rat hole. 9/11 responders support? Of course. Union bigs and politicos using the 9/11 responders as an excuse for more wasteful and corrupt spending? No way.
