We are within 24 hours of honoring the victims of 9/11. and the tragedy is that we have in New York those first responders that survived and yet cannot get the health care that is owed to them because of the lack of sensitivity and responsibility of this Congress to provide resources for those victims. first responder victims who cleaned up or worked in the World Trade aftermath and cannot get the health care that they need. And it is a shame that veterans now of the Iraq war will be coming home injured and dont have the resources because of this enormous debt to provide for keeping veterans hospitals open and providing the 18.000plus that are injured the resources that they need. And my final point is that. as you noted. homeland security as it is suffering. isnt it interesting that we went on a series of hearings throughout August and the constant refrain was the necessity of border security and securing America. But yet this debt. which has interest payments that cause us to really not finance the Republican majority these vital programs. specifically Homeland Security and veterans. So we dont have the money for border security. we dont have the money for more Border Patrol agents. we dont have the money for more equipment because of this enormous debt. So when we hear these voices raised about 9/11 and securing America. it really is with dual voices. voices of talk but no reality. Because with this enormous debt that Democrats really working together have over and over again tried to get the Republicans to stop these enormous tax cuts and recognize our priorities. we are now suffering with this enormous debt. and homeland security is suffering and our veterans are suffering.
