Well. This Makes Total Sense.

The GOP is against funding to boost medical treatment for 9/11 victims because it's paid for by closing a tax loophole for foreign companies.

Whatever happened to the good 'ol days when Republicans hated fereigners?

So, there has to be a "good reason" to pay to treat victims of 9/11 here, but there is no cost too absurd to fund the Afghan and Iraq wars in the name of 9/11. That makes sense.

Of course, you'd think poining out "hey look, the GOP doesn't want 9/11 victims to get the proper medical treatment" would be a fairly easy argument for the Democrats to make, which means that by about noon today the streets will be flooded by people absolutely furious, losing their shit that some wealthy corporations overseas are to be asked to tone down some fancy bookkeeping so that medical treatment may be given to people who were too stupid and lazy to not be rich enough to pay for treament themselves. Of course.
