- I heard today that the House tried to pass a bill to pay out a billion dollars to cover the health care costs of the police and firefighters who got sick after working ground zero on 911.
- Did it pass?
- Nope. Republicans killed it. Said it was a waste of money. Said these guys were freeloaders wanting to sponge off the system from cradle to grave.
- Uh, isn't that a little hypocritical? I mean, these the same guys who've been living off the memory of 911 for the last ten years? Using it to subsidize their wars and bank profiteering?
- Same guys.
- Hm. And we keep reelecting them?
- Somebody does, apparently.
