Whole thing reminds me of this commercial.


Allow a bunch of Muslims to come in your country (one who's dominant culture is not acceptable to them,) and you're gunna take one in the neck. That's just reality. This 7 Bil is part of the price of ignoring that reality.

You're wrong. The bill is funded from sources. Including these heroes in a sentence expounding your personal Muslim hate and bigotry is unbelievable.

First, the cost is $7.4 billion to supplement NY workmans compensation and to cover the responders who were not from New York. And yes - this bill is funded by taking the money from elsewhere.

Of course, more important for the GOP to give billions in estate tax breaks to 6600 wealthy families than deal with helping the heroes of 9/11.

Secondly, these heros are dying of rare and severe cancers of the head, neck, nose, throat, and heart and lung disease. As young men. Those are not "normal occupational injuries" for firefighters, policemen, and ancillary workers (those that spent months at the site digging out the bodies of those who died) NY workman's comp will go beyond broke if they pay this out, so they are fighting WC claims. That isn't supported by the opinions of the doctors treating these men. The 7.4 billion would help cover these men and women's medical bills.

It is appalling and shameful that the Republicans in the Senate have blocked voting on this bill (they are filibustering it, and won't even allow it on the floor to be discussed, let alone voted upon) just for political purposes.

Instead of the GOP's public false outrage at the manufactured, nonsensical slight against Christianity they have made up, about working Christmas season, they should thank god that first responders don't consider working Christmas Eve and Christmas day a "slight against Christianity". GOP jagoffs. I was a paramedic for 10 years, and not one of these GOP jagoffs deserve the sacrifice any first responder would make for them or their families.

Jon Stewart did his whole show on this last night, including having 4 dying NY first responders on his show. Mike Huckabee was also on to promote his children's Christmas book, and Stewart went after him, too - and Huckabee had no good answers for the GOP obstructionism, either.

The GOP doesn't have a problem with the bill (not one has dared to say it's bad), they are refusing to let it come to the floor of the Senate for a vote, because the GOP fears that to pass it would be an obvious big plus in the Dems and Obama's political column.

The current Senate GOP are cutting off helping pay the medical care of these heros to politically spite a President and opposition political party they don't like.

Shows exactly where the Senate GOP puts their priorities - and it happens to be exactly where Mitch McConnell has said it is, publicly - for the GOP it's political games first, helping the country a distant second. If ever.

O.K. 7.4 BILLION is chump change to our Congress now-a-days. I agree. Outside of people who willingly take jobs in the NYPD and FDNY,(and they have to COMPETE for those jobs) and others who responded right away, whom ARE the heroes in this case, others who came were doing it out of the goodness of their heart and a feeling of wanting to help. Agree? Part of being a hero is ignoring the consequenses of your actions, right? Now I was watching this nightmare on the tube like most people on here. I'm maybe 170 miles away. Anyone with half a brain (or less) should know that there was some pretty nasty stuff floating around in the air. I mean really nasty stuff that was used in construction in the early 70's. I knew that there were going to be health problems for anyone anywhere near that sh!t. People volunteering to help should have known too. It's not a free payday. A lot of people are out to take advantage of FREE GOVT MONEY. Unfortunately for them WE THE PEOPLE are starting to realize where all of that $$ is coming from. If I went down there to help I wouldn't be asking for anything because I knew the risks involved. Any idiot should have known. City workers who were on the job should get whatever they need. Not so much, maybe, for those who volunteered.

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%.

People like you share a whole lot of the blame for 9/11. You should never forget that. How many of us would of wanted a bunch of young angry Muslim Males to be allowed to run around in our country doing whatever they damn well pleased? Not me. It's you, and now you want everyone to pay for something your stupidity helped cause. There will always be a percentage of them out to kill us. You want us to take it in the neck so we can be nice to the rest of them. I say fk you!! No more Americans should be gettin' owned just to satisfy your "everybody is 1" bullshyt!

Very well worded. These young Muslims Males who are running around in our country doing whatever they want should be in a jail cell.

What an ignorant, hopeless bigot you are. You haters are ruining this country. You're the losers that need to be locked up. You're so stupid, you blame everyone else for your hate and failure. Get out of the way. Real Americans are trying to take care of this country, and your KKK robes are tripping the rest of us.

This is an example of how g d manipulative you are. Yea, they gettin' the money from surcharges on foreign companies etc., but it's still money that belongs to the American People. It's money we could put towards other needs, or use to pay off the debt. Now, we've got to use it to pay for the damage done by people that should never have been allowed to roam around (unwatched) in our country. I'm for the bill, but we should all take note of why this was allowed to ever happen. It took place, because people like you wanted young angry male Muslims from Saudi Arabia etc. to be able to roam freely in our country. Don't duck the cost we're paying for your stupidity.

Geeshus cripes. You bigoted, racist, hate-filled, assumptive, ignorant idiot. People like you are ruining this country. You wanna see stupid, look in the mirror. You're the very definition of danger to American freedom.

You want to blame someone for 9-11, I suggest you blame the fools that ignored the warnings.

This is rather an example of how dense you are. It's a new tax (surcharges) on foreign companies, invented to pay for this - not current - and it's more than is needed, so the extra will help pay off the debt, too.

And btw, this bill will pass the obstructive Senate. Public opinion has outed the GOP, and the votes are pouring in.

Last line proves you're delirious! The vote was in NOVEMBER, and the voters ran your asses out of Dodge!!
