Tom Coburn is out of touch, as are you. 9/11 still elicits a superheated emotional reaction from anyone east of Denver. You left coast guys are simply ignorant of the sentiment in most of the country. nnil

Kenneth, Again you respond with ignorant nonsense. If you even bothered to discern the truth you would see that there are "concerns" about the "ambiguity" in the bill, for example, how do you deal with any redundancy or overlap when it comes to those responders who will receive money from the Victims Compensation Fund and who, exactly, qualifies? Congress has already wasted enough taxpayers money on hastily thrown together bills.

Kenneth supports the federal government spending an estimated $930 million on unnecessary printing, even thousands of unread copies of the mammoth budget of the United States.

kenny..."Tom Coburn thinks that spending on 9/11 first responders is "wasteful spending".... Don't you think that it should be made clear that none of the money would be used for hussein obama re-election or any other hussein obama plans to weaken the USA further? Make that can you think it should be made clear. :-)

Just curious Kenny, but what services are being denied 9/11 first responders now? How many of them are there? How has the previously allocated funds been spent and what percent actually filtered down to the intended application? How did they arrive at the 7.4 billion dollar amount(or what ever the magic number is now)? How many in congress can answer any of these questions? Any government expenditure no matter how noble sounding the cause needs to be thought out and explained versus just throwing a block of money at it.....there is nothing wrong with having some amount of facts instead of an active p.r. campaign.
