First responders NOT invited to anniversayr of 9-11

Democrats playing politics with ailing 9/11 responders

the Democrats’ procedural gimmicks and faulty pay-for system that cost the passage of the James Zagroda 9/11 Health and Compensation Act:

In spite of fierce public opposition, the Democrats’ sizable House majority secured passage of President Barack Obama’s controversial overhaul of the nation’s health care system. But this same majority failed Friday in its efforts to create a popular multi-billion dollar health care fund for emergency responders affected by toxic dust and debris in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.

The House leadership had suspended typical procedures—requiring a simple majority—on the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2009 in order to prevent GOP-offered amendments that they feared might compromise the votes of endangered Democrats.Senior Democrats were concerned that Republicans might offer a motion to recommit — sending the bill back to committee with instructions to pay for it with funds from the president’s health care reforms.

The Democrats’ procedural tack meant the bill needed two-thirds majority to pass — a large coalition that senior Democrats surely knew was untenable.[…]

Mired in political quicksand, with many of the caucus’s most senior members facing tough re-election battles, congressional Democrats have become increasingly aware that their many legislative victories are not enough to sour voters’ new taste for Republicans.

Another legislative win would have a negligible effect on what most political handicappers predict will be a Democratic-hostile election. What Democrats needed, and found in the bill’s failure, was the ideal opportunity for a thunderous rebuke of Republicans: An ideological win that would capture the interest and anger of the nation still lingering from Sept. 11.

Thanks to the union, Police and Fireman in New York have 5 figure "death on the job" life insurance policies, and everyone who was working when they died in the towers got New Yorks (a workers paradise) maximun Workman Comp survivor payouts, social security and i'm sure many of them had private life insurance policies as well....

NO one got a settlement in 02. Many refused it because of the no lawsuit contract they were to sign. No one was partying at the pool with blood money in 02, or 03.
