there a long list of stupid BS that they can cut funding to so they can give these heroes what they need. there are tens of thousands of people that worked days on end downtown in the months after 9/11. look at some of the stupid shit that the stimulus package gave money to that was completely unnecessary that could have gone to better use. but its not just the Feds fault. Bloomburg should have lobbied for the 9/11 workers. But when you look at all of this on a nationwide scale first responders are for the most part second class citizens in terms of funding and overall respect until until there's a guy with a gun in your house or somethings on fire.
Zack (Mercury....), you're a young guy but you're learning fast. The first person politicians want to take care of is THEMSELVES. After that, those that contribute big time to their campaign funds (like $10,000 dinner plates). If anything is left, then comes The Real Heros, but really that's just for a show to put themselves into the DO GOOD Spotlight. (Ultimatly looking for their own gains).
The Real people that do good for Our Country are the ones risking their lives and helping Our Citizens every day. Firefighters, Police Officers, Military, Doctors, Nurses, Teachers, even the every day guy fixing our cars and picking up our garbage. I Respect everyone of them, alot more than MOST Self Centered, Millionaire Politicians who only look for their Own Political Future.
