questions about "methodology"

There is so much wrong with the published "methodology" that it will take several days of discussion to cover it. 

Re: Attachment A - Sample Calculation for Individual Claimant:

Calculation will apparently be based on a comparison of May - December wages for each of '08, '09, and '10.  Nice, except that none of the information asked for by gccf and submitted by us offers any breakdown of wages by month.  Can't imagine how this will be figured accurately.

Loss will be figured comparing 2010 wages with the AVERAGE of '08 and '09 wages.  Very unfair for all whose '09 wages were badly suppressed by big money's and big government's running us over an economic cliff into recession.  We shouldn't be punished for their mistakes.  Haven't we all been punished enough by fiscal gross mismanagement?  Also, circumstances beyond our control caused many of us to miss significant work time in '08 or '09.  Definitely shouldn't be punished for that.  Very unfair to many who managed significant raises or promotions in '09.  Why should they be punished for managing to make significant improvements in their lives?  Obviously, the only right thing here is to compare 2010 with the GREATER of either '08 or '09.

What ever happened to evaluating each claim on it's own merits?  This cookie cutter crap is just unfair and wrong for everyone.
