"The 9/11 families that have been complaining about how little they're getting from my tax dollars should just shut up and be thankful they're getting anything."
Those families are NOT responsible for the victim's compensation fund. The POLITICIANS are. If you were entitled to a share of the fund, you would be collecting all you could as well. You would be stupid if you didn't.
It's like blaming welfare programs, and benefits, on welfare recipients. None of them would receive a dime either if our stupid politicians didn't provide the programs that pay them.
If you are surprised that yet another gov't program (the victim's compensation fund) is poorly administered, and unfair, then you haven't been paying attention.

Well, apparently you weren't paying attention when you read my reply. I didn't blame the families for the existence of the families' fund. I was criticizing those (probably relatively few in number) who were complaining about not receiving enough money. It tied in with what 2banana was saying about soldiers' widows getting $12k.
