No aid for first responders. - GoFuckYourself.com

"So guess what, Republicans? Here's the deal: Your 'We're the only party who understands 9/11 and its repercussions' monopoly ends now!" Jon Stewart declared last night, after Republicans failed to vote down a filibuster of the Zadroga Bill, which provides aid to 9/11 first responders suffering from related health problems. "So no more co-opting 9/11 imagery to get yourselves elected," he added. "No more using 9/11 as the date when magically all your policies became right. No more using 9/11 to micromanage Manhattan zoning decisions. No using 9/11 as an excuse for why your Bush tax cuts never stimulated the economy in the first place." It goes on and on. But the pièce de résistance was a video montage "honoring" the Republican senators who have issued thanks to the first responders from the Senate floor ? followed by clips of each and every one of them voting against debate over the Zadroga Bill. The overlay of the swelling tones of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" will nearly give you goose bumps.

What a shame it is when a politician uses 9/11 to win votes. As far as I'm concerned anyone who tries to benefit directly from 9/11 is no better than the people who did it.

Weren't these the people who turned down the aid the first time holding out for more money ?

It sucks when there is careless spending and millions of dollars go missing. This is why it helps to keep documentation of cash flows.
