Since the Oklahoma City bombing, for instance, the so-called "conservative" senators in Oklahoma are pushing for millions of dollars in victim handouts. Additionally, liberalism has made its way to the World Trade Center issues – the government is handing out millions of dollars to victims and victims' families of the attack on the WTC.

This totally baffled me when it was happening. And I wrote my represenatives to government and told them so.

What kind of idiots do we send to Washington anyway? When did the US government become a life insurance company?

I have as much empathy for the families of the victims of these terrorist attacks as anyone. I do not however believe that the Constitution authorizes the Congress to appropriate funds to compensate individual families of victims of acts of war or crimes.
