It IS the starting point, the whole idea was to get a reasonable and impartial negotiator at the helm, and that they have done. The way it was working (or rather not working) was displayed by the case of one applicant who proved his business brought in $27,000 a month - BP offered him $5,000.
The problem is with the slowness of the existing process, if you have a $20,000 loand on your fishing boat the bank wnats the monthly payment now, if they don't get you lose your boat. So if and when they clean up the area you have no way to earn a living.
It is sad watching the mental midgets yaelling "Why does Obama not stop the leak" - with what? Should he put on a deep sea diving suit and go down there with a big cork and a hammer. So when he does do what he can in trying to see that people affected by the spill get more immediate relief it's called a shakedown by some a**hole from TX.
