Thank God SOMEONE from Congress showed up. Shameful, shameful.

The last few years, funding issues in the House have been the Repubs fault. Now, it's up to the Democrats. They better fund health care for these people. I read that all that concrete and bldg material dust has caused horrible illnesses for the first responders, among other things.

If the govt can afford a $1.5 Trillion Dollar deficit to fund billionaire tax cuts, it can afford this.
