"Of course, it didn't cross their minds that giving away a fortune (from treasury) to the relatives of real victims in 9/11 (those who died) may not have been the right course of action." To put it mildly, it set a bad precedent.

Newsflash: Our government simply cannot guarantee that everyone will live through a natural disaster What do you mean? Blame always needs to be assigned to some entity with money. So then, there is no such thing as a disaster or misfortune. These are just opportunities to grab some cash. That's right. The rich need to give back their tax cuts........we're running low on money. People are dead in NO because your rich friends had to have tax cuts. There were these idiot bimbos on either CNN or MSNBC talking about how each "victim" of 9/11 got some $5M on average, and how these "victims" should be treated the same. Yes. People usually are compensated when there is criminal negligence. Of course, it didn't cross their minds that giving away a fortune (from treasury) to the relatives of real victims in 9/11 (those who died) may not have been the right course of action. How horrible it must have been for you. Did you punch the wall a few times? Did you cry? The nerve of the relatives of the 9/11 victims wanting some form of compensation. Socialists every last one of them!
