Comments from the Pentagon Families

If the fund distribution is going to be made on an equal basis, then why
does it look as if there will be deductions for some families that may have
the good fortune or better planning to have insurance coverages. After all,
we paid the premiums out of our pocket or paycheck so it is not as if
someone or some agency gave us something. I do not object to insuring every
family is provided for and in some cases, perhaps a little more for those
that are just starting out or in economic hardship over losing their primary
income. I do object to applying some social scale or degree of need.
Therefore, I hope this fund is distributed with economic justice and not try
to make it another social justice program. That only hurts everyone in the
long run.
