Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
NEW YORK, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- U.S. President George Bush's new budget would cut health funding for people affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks by more than 75 percent, a report said.
Monday's budget release came a day before the publication of a study in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, which cites continued emotional distress and sleeping problems for preschool children who witnessed New York's 9/11 terrorist attacks, the New York Daily News reported Tuesday.
"It looks like we found the children the president wants to leave behind," Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., said.
The study reportedly shows preschool children who saw the attacks on 9/11 are three times more susceptible to anxiety and depression and five times more susceptible to sleeping difficulties than kids who did not witness the events.
The children were 16 times more susceptible to behavioral problems and 21 times more susceptible to having emotional troubles, the report said.
Bush's budget would cut 9/11 health funds from $108 million to $25 million and eliminate money for the screening and treatment of downtown residents and students.
