Finally Congress eliminates needless spending!

[SlyPokerDog]

Thank goodness we cutting crap like this!

 

[julius]

How can this somehow be pinned on Obama?

btw, any time the republicans trumpet out 9/11, or patriotism, loving the country or anything like that, this pretty much proves they're full of shit.

broken fucking system!

In a $4T budget, they can't find $7.4B of something else to cut to pass this?

I'm sure that's not what Democrats propose.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

So irritating.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Why can't these "1st Responders" just use Obamacare like all the other disabled and poor people? They're government workers with government pensions, why do they need more from the taxpayers?

On a serious note, why doesn't Hillary or Donald just tell the Saudi's to fund this?

Are you insinuating that Democrats proposed what they didn't propose, or that Democrats didn't propose what they proposed?

The legislation, however, is still held up over lawmakers' disagreement over whether the bill needs to be paid for.

This is really shameful. If you vote for a senator who voted against this than you are the problem. They risked their lives, and many are dead or dying because of it, and we can't get this done? Fucking disgusting.

Don't they have Obama Care?

 

[jlprk]

They all worked for hospitals or the government, right? That means good health insurance. So why should wealthy taxpayers be shouldered with this burden, which is the extras that regular health insurance doesn't cover.

I get where the donors who control Republican politicians are coming from. What's next? Extend supplemental Medicare, from 80% coverage to 100% for everyone, not just those who can afford it?

At the risk of being cold, I don't get it. These guys are NYFD and NYPD right? Don't they already have healthcare for on the job injuries?

If the Democrats really wanted it passed, and not as a campaign issue and to fool YOU, they'd have offset the expense with spending cuts elsewhere.

It looks like the Bill will be passed with expense offsets, or made part of the year end omnibus spending bill.

No, if you vote for any of these clowns you are part of the probem. Listening to them fight over chump change when our country borrows and prints every cent we have while we have a 800 gazillion dollar deficit is hilarious.

It's like if the characters in The Walking Dead were about to get eaten by zombies and they stood around arguing over which abandoned car to take.
