And the reason the repugs opposed it....
As Rep. Bob Goodlatte explained... no such fund has been created for Katrina victims, members of the military injured or for the families of those killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, victims of the first World Trade Center bombing, victims of the USS Cole terrorist attack, or victims of the Oklahoma City Bombing. Goodlatte and many Republicans opposed the bill on the principle that the creation of special compensation funds is not the way to help the victims.
Yes. There is a commercial here. In the right hands it would demonstrate the idiocrisy and unstable mind of the left and how such people abuse the system.
Weenie doth protest too much...
Wiener is a Lefty.
The Lefty’s in NYC are helping muslim pigs build a mosque at Ground Zero...anymore questions?
” Civilians killed or seriously injured received a total of $8.7 billion, averaging about $3.1 million per recipient. Most of this came from the Victim Compensation Fund, but payments also came from insurance companies, employers and charities.
About $3.5 billion was paid to displaced residents, workers who lost their jobs, or others who suffered emotional trauma or were exposed to environmental hazards.
Emergency responders killed or injured received a total of $1.9 billion, with most of that coming from the government. Payments averaged about $1.1 million more per person than for civilians with similar economic losses, with most of the higher amount due to payments from charities.”
