MDC 5,891 Posted June 11, 2019 Unpopular opinion: I don’t know why we deify these people any more than any other cop or first responder who gets killed / injured / sick in the line of duty. They’re all heroes. Why are th de guys more deserving than another? I will take Stewart at his word that this is an issue he cares deeply about. But he’s laying it on pretty thick. Maybe I’m just cynical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sderk 1,040 Posted June 12, 2019 Why doesn't the government just have a set budget amount for each year, then, they can make a list of all the groups asking for money, prioritize what they think is the top 10 (or whatever) most in need of some money. Then put it up on a national vote to determine in what order of importance that the people think it should be in. Then, based upon the results, distribute the funding with 1 being the highest % of the funding, and 10 being the lowest. Then repeat this yearly. Let the people decide where their taxes go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,640 Posted June 12, 2019 Waah! Jon was mean to Rumsfeld 6 years ago, so I don't like him advocating for first responders to 9/11! ...some Patriots...

There are plenty of people asking for money from the government and then you see folks like Cortez tweeting out that if she doesn't get a raise she will need to resort to underhanded methods to get paid more.

What questions do you have, Funding? Denying effects? Lastly, does fault matter or should we just be funding this because they responded to a federal emergency and have been permanently harmed because of they did?
