Conservatives Kill Bill to Help Those Suffering from 9/11 Fumes?...

polifrog


Here is some pre-election pablum from a drowning Democrat party via The Progressive Pulse:

Four Republican members of North Carolina’s congressional delegation voted Thursday against a bill that would have provided up to $7.4 billion in aid to individuals sickened by the toxic dust from the collapse of the World Trade Center, almost nine years ago.

...

Rep. G.K. Butterfield, Rep. Bob Etheridge, Rep. Brad Miller, Rep. Walter Jones, Rep. David Price, Rep. Mike McIntyre, Rep. Larry Kissell, and Rep. Heath Shuler voted for the House bill that required a two-thirds vote for approval.

[bold added]


If the Pelosi and Company wanted this bill to pass ...

---Why did it require "a two-thirds vote for approval"?

and

---Why did the bill require us to spend "$7.4 BILLION in aid to individuals sickened by the toxic dust"?

The Democrats set this bill up to fail by forcing the minority of fiscal conservatives who are true to their word to vote against it due to the high price tag and there are enough fiscal conservatives with balls enough to cause this bill to fail given the super majority requirement.

Simple political chicanery prior to an election.

Only political tools like The Progressive Pulse, our Lame-Stream Media and the stupid believe this crap.

Remains of 72 Victims Found ... While Still Cleaning Ground Zero?

Polifrog is aware that reconstruction continues amid a web of political hurdles but are they really still clearing the debris?

Via a publication outside the United States, Telegraph.co.uk:

The sifting of more than 800 cubic yards (612 cubic meters) of debris recovered from ground zero and underneath roads around the lower Manhattan site began in April and ended Friday.

The greatest number of remains – 37 – were found from material underneath West Street, a highway on the west side of ground zero. The new debris was uncovered as construction work made new parts of the site accessible.

Still Cleaning? Almost a decade later and we are still cleaning? How has it become that this is possible in this country. And how is it that this news has to come to us from abroad? This country has lost something fundamental in its ability to get things done.

Polifrog weeps for this outrageous embarrassment.
