Ahem
World's Most Expensive Tort Reform. Most of the families suing the airlines aren't interested in airline money, they're interested in the discovery process that suing anyone involved in the 9/11 attacks would bring about. That the federal government, with you and I's tax dollars, is paying families an average of almost $2 million dollars to basically cover-up the worst failure of the federal government to do it's job in the history of the United States should be appalling to conservatives, moderates and liberals.
Conservatives especially: why should the federal government pay $2 million dollars to the family of someone who died in the World Trade Center but not to the family of those who died in the ValuJet crash in Florida, or any other airplane or work-related accident? In the ValuJet crash, lax federal regulations regarding what can and can't be placed on airplanes resulted in a horrific crash and many deaths, why is this different than lax federal regulations allowing terrorists onto planes?
