Let me start by explaining my situation. My name is &amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp . I lost my husband &amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp on 9/11. I have four little girls, &amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp , 10, &amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp , 7, &amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp and &amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp , 4. My husband was a partner at &amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp&amp;nbsp . He made well over  1,000,000 a year. How can you cap what you would give to the families yet bail out the airlines, etc.? Because the government and the airlines failed my children lost their father and I lost my 40 year old husband. Now my children may lose their way of life as well? How do I tell these four little girls who are in so much pain that not only is Daddy not coming back( which they still don't believe) but they can no longer live in their house or go to the school they go to.? Why did Fienberg lie and say to our faces that their will be no cap? No cap for the airlines but yet a cap for the families? My husband worked very hard to make the amount of money he did.He took the 6am boat in every day, worked very hard to give these little girls this life. He was targeted for the amount of money he made. He only went to work. The government FAILED to protect him.Now we are being discriminated against because he was successful. We lost him now we have to lose everything else? I would like Mr. Fienberg to come to my house and tell these devastated little girls to their faces that they have to move and leave their friends at school on top of everything else. It is a slap in the face to my husband to lump everyone who made 231,000 and over together. Why did he work so hard to give us so much only to lose everything at the hands of the government? They failed him and now they are failing his children. If this does not change I will have no choice to sue so my children will not lose more than they already have.
