Stimulus Check 2010 – Will There Be One?

First of all Obama is and always was a USA citizen, not getting over the fact that a BLACK MAN won the highest office in America isn’t, shouldn’t be a surprise at all, some of us moved on regarding black vs. white it’s old, very old, as far as the office you would think if we haven’t got so many parties and support our president we wouldn’t complaint as much, if you think you could compare your president to others around the world you would appreciate this time more, wake up and think what you could do with yourself, your neighbor, your children, tomorrow is precious, you have one life you are part of 309 million people in the USA, think how the hell you are going to please everyone. HOW!!!

HEY, I forgot to say…PROVE TO ME HES LEGAL!!! i keep asking
but not getting any were but people keep saying OH HES A U.S
citizen…
IAM proud to show any and everybody iam a u.s citizen

YOUR RIGHT AGAIN
WANDA YOUR RIGHT
OBAMA JUST LEARNING ,,,,,, HE NEEDS TO BRING OUT BOYS HOME ,,,,,

Thank You Patricia I agree 100%. It is ludicrous to continue to down our Commander and Chief. I think and always will believe he truly wants to help ordinary Americans but Republicans “yes I said it” have to make sure that the rich continue to get rich and the poor continue to gets poorer so bless his heart his hands are tied. This country always has and always will progress in the pattern of the have and have nots. No one is willing to compromise and allow disadvantaged Americans a chance to receive some of the bare essentials of life. It is not enough for some of us to live in 8 bedroom, 5 bath homes, we must have all the money, all the benefits and all the everything while the least of ours suffer. We need to remember that we cannot take material things with us.We are so quick to help other countries when right down the street their are homeless individuals and veterans that need monetary and medical attention. We are so selfish. Please don’t blame our ills on the president look at the man in the mirror.

Good Morning,It’s Tuesday February23.2010,8:52A.M. and I haave just finished reading a article on Google dated January 04,2010, in reference to the $250.00 stimulus rebate that a lot of us was expecting. It now looks as if we will NOT be receiving a rebate as earlier thought. according to the article the economy is doing better and the bill had not even been presented.So as of now it apperars there will not be one.When we should be able to get a cost of living raise or something.Most of us are struggling trying to keep a roof over our heads,and to pay for mediciations and the gas and electric bill never mind a new pair of shoes that is completley out of the question.while some of toss and turn at night wondering how we’re going to pay our bills while the big wigs go home to the big fabulous home,the nanny, the cook and the wonderful little woman who goes shopping everyday and we the little people continue to suffer.Although $250.00 is not enough, but it would have helped a lot of us have a little extra, just maybe we could have payed a bill, bought another gallon of milk, or even did something for ourself or our kids.

RENEE HOW U KNOW THAT,,, ALL WE KNOW IS WHAT WE READ ABOUT HIM… HOW WE KNOW HE WAS NOT POOR
AS A KID ,, WE DONT KNOW THE ONLY THING WE KNOW IS WHAT WE READ OR SEE ON TV ….

Renee and Thomas:
I don’t trust him, either. However, I do think that if there were some truth to his not being a citizen, Republicans would have slammed on that issue continuously until the truth came out. I’d much rather people look at the real issues involving Obama and his unimpeded attempt to spend our country into financial ruin by growing the federal government larger and larger, increasing the number of federal jobs that we tax payers must pay for, jobs that do not produce anything but draw a bigger paycheck than the private sector counterparts, and bailing out corrupt companies and banks that should have been allowed to go out of business. The idea that we have minimal manufacturing and must buy most of our products from other countries is enough to make me sick. We need to get our industries with decent paying and productive jobs back by whatever means necessary. This problem sure didn’t start with Obama, however. Both parties share equal blame in the sell out of our country. We also share the blame due to our complacency and blind trust in our elected representatives, by not keeping them in check, and in allowing them free reign to become corrupted by lobbyist money, being loyal only to the lobbyists and not to the people who voted them into office.
For those of you who think you’re in good hands now that Obama is in office and that we should give him more time—you’re as blind as can be, and they’ve got you right where they want you—in total ignorant bliss. Vote ALL of these bums out! They do not care, respect, nor fear you. They do not and will not listen to you. They “care” only at election time when they send out their pamphlets and call you on your phone with their recorded message asking you for donations to help keep them in office. AM I THE ONLY DAMNED PERSON WHO IS TIRED OF THIS LIE??? Gracious, folks-get off your duff and take a stand-if even if it’s just in the voting booth! Get rid of these self-serving parasites on election day.

This is wed mg, FEB 24th, just called the local S.S office they have heard nothing, and what was really funny they said they ( no nothing) of payment to the disabled.

iam not surprised at all, he has shown the country his path he has choosen. My question is WHERE are our state reps,the other bums
we voted into office? the eldly and disabled people need the money, We all have to remember how they have treated us come voting time. I KNOW I WILL….

I do not understand why seniors are left out.No cost of living raise
and maybe no stimulus check for us either.The congress votes raises
for themselves.We have supported our government all these years.
They dont care.We should stand up in 2010 and vote them out.The congress has given us nothing.We need to get to the polls in 2010
and show them they are responceable.We need a change.

Hi All. I hope for those who aren’t aware, this info may be able to assist you. It’s a bit off track. I apologize for this.

A few years back, before I married and very thankful my husband had insurance for medication. Not the greatest, but it was certainly better than nothing.

Prior to marriage, I simply had medicare which, at that time, I don’t believe they had the option of Part D? For medication? Anyway, getting to my point, never once when I was struggling to pay for my IV meds, I was on them for a very long period of times for several years, I was not qualified for medicaid due to excess of income. In any event, thanks to a friend of mine who kindly mentioned, if your medication exceeds a certain percentage of your income, you are entitled/qualified for medicaid. Though, you will probably have to pay a surplus of a certain amount of money every month when you get your meds,certainly better than not getting the meds you need.

My medicaid surplus payments were 200.00 per month. I received a little over, I think at that time I was getting approx 800.00 give or take a few dollars from SSD. I don’t know if they are still doing it. But I honesly can’t see why it would have changed.

No one EVER told me about this at the medicaid office when I went for help, can you believe this? I actually found out from a friend who went through very similar as you and I. If it wasn’t for her, I would not have been able to get my medication. My IVs were approx. anywhere from 500.00-1000.00 (including nurse home visits, iv tubing,flushes,dressings,etc). I was on them for quite a while. And NOT ONE PERSON FROM THE MEDICAID OFFICE EVER TOLD ME ABOUT THE SURPLUS PROGRAM (even as I pleaded for their help)! Maybe because I am an American?

I don’t know if this information can help any of you. I read several posts and I am so sorry what everyone is going through. It makes me very mad. I do hope you look into this medicaid surplus, it sure can’t hurt to do some research on it. Maybe it can help you out a bit. There is alot of help out there for people, unfortunately, the Americans are always the last to know. Maybe some of you will get what you ARE entitled to. You will pay out of pocket, but far less than what you are paying now,that I promise, if you are on alot of meds like I was and if the program is still around. Possibly a good social worker will have this information?

I too, have been checking to see if any stimulus arrived, but no luck. My husband and I are both disabled and struggling. We were going to purchase a small filtration system in our home, which is over one hundred years old and we cannot drink our water. It is so very hard and quite expensive purchasing the bottled water and if we go out to buy, it is so very heavy for us to carry. Imagine that, Americans without clean water. Let’s send some more money to the other countries so they will have clean water instead.

I cannot vote, due to religion, but I am honestly going to consider voting, next time around. Something truly has to be done about how this most beautiful country is literally, going to the dogs. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, countries who want to kill us… get rebuilt. Go figure.

Just a few weeks ago, I get a letter from SSD stating I am getting too much money! Imagine that? Too much money. They actually cut my check in half. They wouldn’t reverse it. I wonder whose pocket it went into. Certainly not ours. I had an overpayment I was paying back, over 8 years now, because of workers comp., but still, I was on a steady check for a year now, not much at all, and all of a sudden , when it’s almost paid, they cut my check in half, out of nowhere).

Waiting for gas in the seventies looks like a picnic compared to this.

I don’t believe in hell, but if I did, I would swear we are living it right now.

When I renew my license this year, I AM going to register to vote. I think with all that is going on in this world, God will forgive me this one time. But I will not donate any body parts. They may just wind up sending me overseas to another country to save someone’s life over there! UGH. The things we have to consider. Who would’ve thought?

See you on election day. It will be a first for me at 42 years old. Looking forward to it. Maybe next year I will get that water filtration system for my family, if we’re not dead by then from the toxic water we’re bathing in.

God Bless.

Thank you Patricia, you’re thoughts and words are beautiful.

The only way we will see any improvement is if all the americans stick together, voices are heard in numbers. Sure, we can all complain how we,the Americans get sloppy seconds, thirds, etc., but unless we show how serious we are, in the voting box, I don’t think we have a leg to stand on.

You are so right about Americans not having the necessary things in life, many of them are the very one’s who put their lives on the line for “Our Freedom”. Everyday, we see these men and woman on the streets living without even the basic needs provided to them.

I’m sure you will always remember how difficult it was when you had to fight for your disability to go through. Something, none of us will ever forget. It took years of fighting. Then people can’t understand why, the americans, get so bitter about helping others. Why shouldn’t we. People come here and get better medical assistance, housing, organizations that provide all of the services to them on a silver platter. Why don’t we, the americans know? Why isn’t there any organizations who cater to the Americans? Many state they do. But when you contact them, they send you in a circle, ending up where you first started. You get absolutely no where. The only thing gained is a hypertensive crisis you just put yourself into because of all the stress and aggravation. You think these services would be available to US citizens first and foremost.

For some time now, I’ve been pleading with numerous government and state agencies, and the list goes on and on. Recently, one may think I am crazy, but I actually wrote the FBI. I ran out of people to contact. No Joke. I cannot, for the life of me, get assistance to help my 88 year old grandmother, who is being severly neglected by her home health care agencies. Do you know that there is no one who oversees what these agencies are doing? I must have written and called well over one hundred people. No one, not one person, not even an attorney,I speak the truth, will help us. My mom, is ready for a mental institution from all of this. These agencies and their girls (the HHA’s) can do whatever they want and don’t have to answer to anyone. They can rob you, negect you, abandon you, eat all your food,not show up, not follow the plan of care, leave you in urine and feces until you get huge ulcers on your backside, just as long as you don’t talk ill of them or to them, or they retaliate by not sending anyone at all to your home to help you. The cops won’t even get involved. My grandmother’s girls rob anything that’s not nailed down. They’ve broken up our walls, etc. Why do they do this? Because they KNOW they will get away with it and there is NO ONE that will stop them. This is what’s going on in NY. I don’t know if it is tolerated anywhere else in the states. They are SO lucky I am not the one in position to make laws and enforce them. The only way someone may step in, is if there was an actual murder. In other words, I would have to await my grandmother’s death and ONLY if they can prove it was murder and not just from natural causes. We are at their mercy, very scary.

Anyway, getting back on track:o)

Not having an increase in our cost of living expenses in our disability checks is probably just the beginning. Where is all this money going, if not in our pockets? (certainly not going into protecting the elderly)

Sure, a stimulus check would be a benefit to us and is desperately needed. But if it will further destroy the economy, I would not object to a rejection of the proposal. One thing I can’t accept is not getting a stimulus check or a living expense increase simply because the money is going to other countries to assist them, instead. This decision should be left up to the American citizens.

I would be lying if I said I knew how this all worked,where the funds are taken from one place to provide the needed funds for assistance to other countries. I don’t even know if cutting our cost of living increase and/or the stimulus checks come from that same funding. I was raised not knowing about politics since our religion prohibited voting,serving in military, etc. The only reason why I have any slight clue about anything of the such, is by reading posts by others, in various websites provided to speak our minds. Much of it I do not understand. Little by little I learn the basics, but would certainly like to learn more. It gets difficult when terminology is used that I don’t completely understand.

I do hope it gets better for all of us. The world is a beautiful place. It’s just unfortunate with all of the “ugly” going on, it is so hard to see past that. I hope one day, we can all look up and thank Him, for getting us all through this “ugly”.

I hope you have a great day, Patricia and thank you for responding.
Dee.

Hi all. I am so very sorry for going off topic for a short moment. Please accept my apologies.

Dearest Patricia, upon receipt of your most recent message, I found it in my inbox. I am quite unfamiliar of how to reach you without posting on this site, privately, through email. I tried to reach you by pressing the respond button after reading your message through the email system. If you did receive it, please let me know.

If anyone in this site knows how to send private messages to contact another willing person on this site, how do we go about it? Is there a moderator that you are aware of?

I would like to exchange contact information, but due to the fact that there may be unwanted individuals checking our postings, I would rather not take any chances. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. This is a very serious topic for Patricia and I. We are both going through some similar things in life and we may be able to help/ or be of support to eachother, maybe others as well.

Thank you so very much for your patience and understanding. You have no idea how glad I stopped by this site. God does work in mysterious ways. Had I not stopped by, I would have never made a new friend. I just hope we can somehow contact eachother for further conversation.

God Bless.

Dee.

Bre, why are you even on here? So happy this works for you but it hasn’t done much to pay my bills.

I cannot believe that the seniors are not receiving a cost of living raise. Our representatives in the congress and the senate all go their raises, There isn’t any justice. Let our politicans know that we paid our taxes. We are Americans and we deserve a fair shake.

are we get that check or not . i don’t understand why some people upset with getting that check. back in 2008 soon up the people got $800 to $ 1,000.00 dollar and we just got $300.oo dolar. it don’t make no cent at all. God be with you all.

I have a very good question is there anything that ayone could tell me that would tell me why the ones in charge of passing the bill to give the $250.00 stimulus checks to those on monthly checks have not passed the bill they have gotten a raise on their checks and we did not even get the increase in our checks in two years because they say the cost of living did not go up how are we supposed to be able to pay our bills I guess as long as their familys are took care of that is all they care about what about the poor folks on goverment ckecks that strugle to make t from month to month don’t they deserve to get something I guess in your eyes they don’t that is why there are not many people voting for anybody because you will not do what you lie and say you will do and help us .ps how is $674 a month going to get a place to live

Dear Dee,
Read all of your commebts and thought I’d add this. We are no LONGER the Americans but the MINIORITY who are now looking in on this BIG catastrophe we have put ourseles in to. I am sure we have become the laughing stock of this GREAT nation. If it weren’t for other peoples GREED we would not be in the predictiment we are ALL in.

BEST WISHES TO ALL!

The last time I checked on the $250.00 stimulus check, the reply was because the bill to extend unemployment, had not been voted on yet & passed, there would not be a check. ( The s/s checks were included in this bill), BUT, the extention WAS passed, so, WHERE are our checks???????????????
