Two GOP Senators Block 9-11 First Responders Bill

[Dana7360]

A bill that has over 70 sponsors in the Senate is being blocked by just 2 senators. They being rand paul and mike lee.

It's interesting that there's very little or no debate about tax cuts and increased spending for the military but when it comes to the people who saved lives without any concern to their own on 9-11, that has to be debated according to rand paul. The subject has been debated many times.

Like Jon Stewart said, do your jobs. The first responders did theirs.

Lee and Paul were both "all in" and "proud" to vote for the trillion dollar GOP Tax Scam in 2017. Neither of them demanded any offset for those tax cuts, or any of the others they've voted for over the years.

Millionaires and billionaires and corporations will never have to beg Rand Paul or Mike Lee for a tax break. But they will demand the surviving 9/11 heroes grovel before them every few years in the name of fiscal responsibility.

How dare an elected official worry about how we are going to pay for something.

What the hell were they thinking, this is Merica, we do not think about how to pay for things...we just do it and let our kids and grand kids pay for it.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

on a totally unrelated side note...damn Rand Paul needs a new hairstyle!

Asbestos doesn't cause cancer or respiratory distress. I can still hear Tramp saying that.

Why should the feds be funding this? Are the States too good to use their workers compensation monies? Everything is not a federal problem.

[Camp]

Deplorables by definition.

Well we went to war over it. So its a federal problem. Not a state problem.

So where is the state of New York and the police and firemans unions? I don't live in new your, 9/11 really had no impact on me or anyone who doesn't live in New York so why should I be on the hook when these people have a state and a union to take care of them? Isn't that why they pay dues?

Why didn't the cowardly closeted compromised Cocksucker in Chief do it when he had a Dem House and Senate??

Same thing for equal soccer pay by gender.

Dems never do these things, because Dems prefer to BAIT over these things....

 

[jknowgood]

Liberals want to give illegals free healthcare and wants us to pay for it. That should answer the question. Oh, and everyone of their presidential candidates want it.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

Is there a time limit on this? Seriously, we give the widows about 5 million each. Joan Rivers caught hell over pointing out the obvious. Offer any fireman’s wife 5 million if he dies and there will suddenly be a shit ton of firemen “home accidents”. As far as the rest are concerned how long do we need to pay? We’ve been paying for 18 years now. Those kids are grown up. Go get a job. The wife gets SS benefits. The fireman still has healthcare and disability.

So why the hell are we extending this crap another 75 years?

Worker's compensation is nothing more than a form of insurance providing SOME wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment in exchange for mandatory relinquishment of the employee's right to sue their employer for the tort of negligence. It DOES NOT replace all wages.

I see. Its almost 20 years ago now, and Dem liars are still bilking it. It is what they do. They make taxpayer money VANISH.

Because the felon employers that hire them don't want to pay for healthcare insurance.

The feds helped with the clean up, the workers were private, city and State employees, not federal. The workers are the responsibility of the jurisdictions they worked for. This is no different than any other work place injury or death.
