Victim's Fund : My comments
As per your request for comments on the subject:
1. The govt should reduce the financial assistance which it provides to
victims families by the amount of charity financial help they receive, given
a minimum level of combine financial help. Basically , "fill the glass with
whatever available funds from the charities, have the govt.(which is us, the
taxpayers) , fill it up to the top."
2.Athough it appears that some in the Justice Dept. (per NYT article) believe
charities should not be considered "collateral sources" and thus not
subtracted, this is a new fund being created, with new guidelines, where laws
on the books should not be picked according to a particular point of view.
Rather, we should look at the big picture: help the unfortunate victim's
families, make them whole. Do not shortchange nor enrich them.
Thanks.
