Comments on Victim Compensation Fund

My comments will be short and to the point: 1) The victims of 9/11 should
NOT be compensated by the government using our tax dollars. They should not
be allowed to sue the airlines, who were NOT responsible, for any amount of
money. In fact, none of those actually responsible for 9/11 are in a
position to sue, being either dead or otherwise unavailable. 2) The money
collected from donations amounted to an awful lot. Isn't THAT money supposed
to go to the victims? Time and energy would be better spent making sure that
money gets to where it was supposed to go. There are a lot of people out
there who donated money that they needed themselves and who wouldn't have
donated if they had known they would be paying twice. 3) What makes the
victims in New York any better than the other people that died that day? If
you are to compensate NY victims families, compensate ALL victims families.
The government is screwing this up and making really bad decisions in the
area of victim compensation. Please fix it, on behalf of the rest of the
citizens of this country.
