The more cynical take is that they never felt shame, but Jon's advocacy as a celebrity brought unwelcome publicity to their mistreatment of universally valorized heroes.
Because they don't care. It's a great tool to stir up memories to try and win some patriotic votes. Clearly from peoples experiences in this post.
Its nothing more then a cynical tool, they could have passed a law that day. That would medically cover all the victims and first responders.
They didn't, they were to focused on the opportunity to galvanize the public for never ending wars.
I say this in good faith and from personal experience. 9/11 is nothing more then a tool to them. It can garner votes, silence political opponents and always be used for some good press with a hollow ceremony.
Trump has Howard Ludnick(how ever you spell his last name) in his cabinet.
His brother died in 9/11 as their company was in one of the towers.
He played a real good sob story, made it seem like he cared and helped setup a fund to support the families of the deceased.
The loophole, was that there wasn't a limit on the amount that could be paid out.
He took the whole think, I can't remember the exact number, but it was more then a couple million.
So that's who we have in government. People who have no problem using 9/11 for personal gain.

I remember he fought pretty hard for it. He was seriously disappointed when they wouldn't even show up to the meeting for it.
