Senate Republicans kill proposed $2bn for 9/11 first responders

The Republicans only really care about September 11 on November 7.

What the Daily News story doesn't tell you is that it was the Bush White House, along with Giuliani's city hall, that lied to the 9/11 first responders about how the air was totally safe around Ground Zero so they shouldn't worry about it. In fact, the White House knew perfectly well that the air was not safe and they edited several reports and press releases to hide that fact from the first responders.

So, basically, George Bush lied to the thousands of Americans who chipped in at Ground Zero, and now their health is at risk. And after all that, the Republicans don't want to help them.

Think I'm exaggering, do your own research - it's been widely reported what the White House did. It's sickening.

Though in all fairness to the White House, if the police and firemen who are sick in NY had only been Iraqi, I'm sure they'd have gotten $300 billion.
