Jon Stewart rips into congress over 9/11 benefits

[99cummins]

Seems the gov was dragging their feet on the 9/11 comp as well as slashing benefits. Seems there’s always money for illegals or to send some “freedom” to some east bumfuck corner of the world or to give elected officials more money or benefits but not enough to actually take care of our own citizens. The amount of nasty shit breathed in by those that worked ground zero will probably never be truly known.

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

How dare you suggest we take care of illegals before our own people. I'm sure some other country is stepping up to the plate to help our US citizens.

What do you expect when you elect the enemy of the likes of ilian omar into Congress?
The federal doesn't represent the people and hasn't now for over 100 years. Time for a true change.

Does anyone understand this fund? Anyone ever read the contents?

Anyone know that the fund began with over seven billion dollars?

Did you know that one person alone received over 11 million dollars?

I tip my hat to all of those that did their jobs that horrible day. Absolutely wonderful what some of them did. I do not think what they did was worth millions of dollar payouts.

This fund stands alone, there is also the World Trade Center Health Program that is funded until 2090. There is another fund for the families.

May be cold hearted, but, enough is enough.

I know people who have lost their legs, arms, sight, and so on in these damned wars that are not this well taken care of. How much is enough?\

How much waste, fraud and abuse has been declared? How many people are just lying to get their share?

Money and resources are limited.
