Where are our 911 & Katrina Rescuers today?

Years after 9/11 and Katrina, where are our rescuers who gave of their time, resources and in many instances have given their personal health to save others.

Has anyone bothered to ask about the wellbeing of these individuals?

Was it any better for the rescuers after Katrina? We know that the water was toxic, they talked about it on tv. Still, volunteers poured into Louisiana and other places and gave of their time and possibily own health to help others.
Where is our own American Spirit, that we allow our government officials to line their own pockets, and turn their backs on our citizens who are ready, willing, while not always able, but still johnny on the spot to volunteer when problems arrive with other Americans.

During and after which, government is in a mad scramble about covering their own butts.

Is Limbauh right about the things he is saying? Can't he expand to get help for our volunteers who in many instances do their rescue work on their own and utilizing their own resources?

America is built on volunteerism, but at the same time, Americans are very short on memory. I think due to the media spoon feeding what they personally want us to know. We are brainwashed by media, and so bombarded with trivial crap, that I feel many have lost their capacity to think, feel and act.

We can't allow this to go on. We need a political agenda that stops the greed of government officials, we need to boot a huge bunch of the govenrment officials who have managed to wangle their way into office and do not serve the public as they promised to do.

Why should one term in office beget an obscene lifetime pension for an official in Washington? While our American volunteers, police, firemen, and emergency personnel live, work, and die for peanuts?
