I don't know how many of you folks saw John Stewart on behalf of the 9/11 first responders in front of the Congressional committee on basically doing nothing at all was very moving available on CNN and Facebook I don't know how to do the link and I'm not about to try I'm at work. Sorry
I can't believe he is still fighting for them...we have assholes in the administration buying $45,000 dining room tables and flying around in private jets...and yet those who risked their lives to help thousands of families can't get help when they are ill? We are totally fucked up if this makes any sense ...
I am glad they are passing the bill ... but why did it have to be such a fight? Jon Stewart moved many to tears...of sadness and shame...never forget...
We have always been fucked up. We are considered great based on geography, size, wealth, and the power of our military. Not a good way to judge the greatness of a country in my opinion.
It was very powerful and true....the heroes have been forgotten and the politicians will not make this a stand alone bill. After 18 years. Politicians will only attach the benefits to legislation that is favorable to 'their' self interest rather than doing the right thing for people suffering from the cancers and the illnesses brought about from being first responders.
