Thank you Tom "The Grinch" Coburn for your 9/11 patriotic act of the day. Maybe Tom Coburn and the other GOP Grinch's of the world will remember this act the next time they invoke 9/11.
It's truly unbelievable that Americans, who sacrificed for their country that fateful day, can not be taken care of properly. The GOP talks a great patriotic act, but their actions speak louder than words.

Several Republican senators have expressed concerns over the spending package that would provide $6.2 billion to those who fell ill from cleaning up the wreckage after Sept. 11, 2001. The bill’s sponsors, New York Democratic Sens. Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, say they have the votes to get it passed, but opponents can put up procedural hurdles.
