Yeah. None of those police or firemen should have run into the WTC as the upper floors burned, dodging the splatterings of bodies hitting the sidewalk outside, trying to save lives. None of them should have spent days digging hoping for survivors, or months digging through the rubble trying to recover part of a foot, a tooth, a wallet, so a loved one could be identified. They should have known better. They should have quit on the spot as their rigs pulled up to the building. Refused to enter. Too bad you weren't there to tell them not to do it. The site should have been left as is with a huge fence around it. It's just part of their job to give their health and lives for the ungrateful and arrogant, and how dare they want their workmans comp - WC paid at the high rates of the most dangerous jobs in the world - to pay for the massive medical problems they contracted doing their job, giving 110%.

First of all who's not getting their workman's comp? Rangel?

7 billion between 20K responders (7 responders for every person who died) comes to 350K a person. And again why not go after the money that funded the attack. You know those 'rare muslims' making things bad for the majority.

Riot, please read my post again. Those 1'st responders deserve all the help they need. They went in knowing the risks. Everyone of them would do it again. I'm talking about giving $$ to people who went in after the fact as VOLUNTEERS. NYS is broke and needs all the federal help it can get. Thank you America in advance.

Let me put a face on it for you. A friend of mine from college. He was so happy to pass all the tests and live his dream as a member of the FDNY.
