Well, we got another indication where the Republican's priorities are. They decided to
bugger those who got sick or injured at Ground Zero.
Congressional budget negotiators have decided to take back $125 million in Sept. 11 aid from New York, which had fought to keep the money to treat sick and injured ground zero workers, lawmakers said Tuesday.
New York officials had sought for months to hold onto the funding, originally meant to cover increased worker compensation costs stemming from the 2001 terror attacks.
But a massive labor and health spending bill moving fitfully through House-Senate negotiations would take back that funding, lawmakers said.
This just makes me sick. Just as Bush disrespected millions of veterans on Friday by giving a speech that was all about his illegal war in Iraq, Congress is giving the shaft to the thousand of heroic people who worked for months on the site of the WTC, risking getting sick with all the stuff that was in the air.
I think that the Democrats need to be focused on showing they care for groups like the Ground Zero workers and the veterans. Because, we sure know that BushCo doesn't give a rats ass for them.
