How much money did they get from our government as compensation for their loved ones that died? Should they have gotten anything, i heard it was in the millions per person. Why? Our american soldier only gets 450 grand and that's it. If the people in the twin towers that died didn't have life insurance, it should not have been up to the American tax payers to pay for them. What do you think?

Charitable contributions from the people of the US and the World contributed most of the funds that were distributed to families of the 9/11 dead. Foundations accumulated the donations, and most distributions were made according to an approved formula that did not involve taxpayer funds.
You can get more info at: http://fdncenter.org/media/news/pr_0401.html and at many other sites.
Soldiers are engaged in a profession of their own choosing for which they know the dangers and the benefits. If you do some research you'll find a significant increase in their benefits, both automatic and to which they may contribute has occurred because of the Iraq war. The outrage on the part of US citizens at the meager death benefits brought about the changes.
Now that the maimed and disabled are returning from the war it seems that this regime is trying to move the responsibility for their long term care to "the private sector," which I consider an abrogation of government responsibility and a violation of trust.
Apparently, this is being done to reduce the taxpayers' budgetary obligations to the VA Hospitals.

Amen. If the building has fallen due to poor workmanship would the government paid anything. I think not. I am sorry that they died it was tragic and a great loss. But I shouldnt have to pay someone because another country decided to kill some people. IT is just as bad a war reperations.

The irrepareable loss cannot be cured with money. The Govt. gives money only to come out up for a certain period .
