I think we should be paid for damages personally. It’s fine to fund grants for study, but why do we get left out?? Attorneys get paid, and the powers to be decide what to do with out money for damages inflicted upon us. How do we file our own lawsuits on our own behalf, or can we? We are always at the mercy of the government, as in bailing banks out, car mfgs. etc. but we don’t see a penny. Countrywide sold my private info along with more than a million others and what did we get?????? Just because we don’t have the money to do battle with the big boys, or the knowledge of an attorney to fight for ourselves we have to settle for the crumbs. NOT FAIR.
