Supporting Bush is immoral--reason number 12

He lied about supporting first responders.

A few months after the attacks of September 11, he told first responders his administration would give them whatever they needed, and proposed $3.5 billion more to the cause. But instead of adding that money, he cut $1 billion from the first responder budget. A few months later, he rejected $150 million worth of first responder grants.

On Septmber 14, 2001, Bush told retired firefighter Bob Beckwith "I can hear you." What he didn't tell him was "But I don't give a damn."
