Can you believe it? Politicians that are actually following through on their campaign promises!?!? The Obama/Biden team are working to push through the FIRE act and the SAFER act as promised, which will push some federal funding to departments like mine to retain firefighters, hire new ones, ensure that apparatus are fully staffed, and purchase needed gear and equipment. They also are getting through a federal collective bargaining bill that will ensure that unions like mine will always have our rights to negotiate our contracts. In addition, the Congress just pushed through a student loan forgiveness program for professional firefighters. I don't know all the specifics of that one yet, but it looks like I'll be able to get a large sum of my student loans wiped clean. A very happy day for me, and I can't help but gloat a little bit again at the Obama victory (he did mention firefighters in his inauguration speech), but these are all programs that McCain and the wolf-killing retard were against.
