House rejects bill to aid sick 9/11 responders


news.yahoo.com
WASHINGTON – A bill that would have provided up to $7.4 billion in aid to people sickened by World Trade Center dust fell short in the House on Thursday, raising the possibility that the bulk of compensation for the ill will come from a legal settlement hammered out in the federal courts.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can wait and wait and wait for that legislation ... it's not passing," Kenneth Feinberg, the former special master of the federal 9/11 victim compensation fund, told an audience of ground zero responders Monday in a meeting on Staten Island.

This is true and brought to you by the fake patriots in the GOP, who killed the vote. Yes, those same pretend liberty lovers that so many of you believe to be your champions of freedom against Evil Obama are in reality playing you like the fools you are. They have plenty of money to ensure wars profits for defense industry titans that you will gladly fuel with the lives of your sons under the false flag of "fighting terrorism." They have plenty of money for their banker buddies who are choking off small businesses around the country. But they can't find money to help those sickened by their service to fellow citizens in the aftermath of 911.

Yeah right, and you actually think Obama is your problem. You gullible, ignorant faux patriots will be the end of us even as you cheer your enslavers on.

Just to let the conspiracy theorist out for a moment, I wonder if they are smart enough to figure out that if the government does not support rescue workers if they become ill saving Americans, that less and less of them actually will.

Think about this way: The thousands of men and women that immediately jumped into the rubble on 9/11 are now sick and some of them are dying and some already have. The government seems to be turning their back on them or at least making it as difficult as possible for them to receive compensation and the healthcare they require [which is really ironic since Obama just passed legislation that gives healthcare to everyone anyway].

In the future, should there be another attack [this is really when, not if], how many of them will give pause before jumping in? How much time will be lost gathering haz-mat gear and the like in order to not take any chances? Will we find ourselves, as citizens, not rushing to immediate action but rather sitting back and waiting for the "professionals" to handle it in order to avoid becoming sickly and uncared for ourselves?

One thing's for sure, had those rescue workers not jumped in as fast as they did, we would certainly have a much higher death toll. Had regular citizens not stopped to try and help people out of the staircases and out the front door, we would be mourning numbers in the 10,000's. Could this be a way to maximize loss of life in the event of a tragedy or false flag event?

Never mind.
They aren't smart enough to put that all together anyway.

On top of that these folks could be witnesses and or victims subject to subpoena... for civil matters, and...
