This will be great for the credit industry, people will pay their outstanding bills and the top 1% will be richer…Bush your and idiot and Greenspan should have know you can not fight deflation with raiseing interest rates to the home owners under the Arms Loans, Why help with such a program to take it away and leave them homeless…130 Billion a month of $ you print each month to cover the War in Iqrac and no gold standard..Opec knows our $ is worth less each day so the price of oil goes up and up.. Greenspan retired after creating a mess and knew your plan sucked.. You can not have 2 classes in America, we all must prosper or deep despair. Will be a rough ride comming and Congress doesn’t have a clue either. We need everyday people in Offices of Goverment, not better then the masses.

People in the use want to much buy to much and are never happy with any thing. I know I’m one. We want $30.00 an hour to work then we don’t want to work hard or on time.
We want the best home , car, clothes, ect…
Happy up ! we could all live in worst places

you know all of you are complaining about not getting it. what about the families who work hard and have kids and still don’t get the money. I only made $2300 last year because I could not work most of the year because of health problems and having a baby. At least you get money. My boyfriend and I both work hard and we get crap. Why does it matter how much someone makes. It should be for everyone who has an income and filed the darn taxes.

I hope you all think about the little people when you spend money that should be for everyone not just the people who all ways make more money the us.

This package is a crock. How about myself who makes just over 110K and is not married to my girlfriend. We have two kids, yeah that’s right were living in sin. And we don’t get sh1t either. I hope all of you that receive the check buy that new TV you’ve been eye balling and not spend it appropriately. In a couple months i’ll be coming to your neighborhood to buy you out of your home before you forclose. F the stimulus package.

I would just like to say that as a very hard working successful single mother, I just got screwed. I will receive $233 lousy dollars for all my hard work at staying off welfare. I work with guys that make the same as I but they are married and their wives don’t work so they get the max amount. I am single and raising 2 kids alone and because I make just over the threshold, I GET PRACTICALLY NOTHING……THEY SHOULD JUST KEEP THEIR FRECKN CHECK!!!!

Strange how so many well off people do not know how lucky they are. I used to be one - I worked and paid plenty taxes from 1969 thru 1999 when I suddenly got MEN-1 syndrome.
Now I am 59 and disabled, spent all my savings and pension and sold all I owned to survive my unexpected rare illness for some years before being destitute from it.
I do try to work and earned $1200 in 2007, and it was hard to do. I also got $339 a month in welfare but as it was State welfare, it does not count as income towards the minimum $3000 needed for me to get a stimulus package ($300 which for me could purchase 3 months of antioxidants to help me breathe enough to earn a worthwhile amount for three months anyway!).
Now THAT would be a true stimulus package - but I’ll not be getting it.
Nor will anyone else falling through the same state-welfare cracks.

So if YOU are getting anything - be glad and I challenge you to use it well………..Irene

I totally see where this guy is coming from. We give and give and give some more to the poor but the middle class get left out. Yes, I am calling 150,000 a year middle class because it IS. When you have kids, a mortgage, car payments, etc, it doesn’t go far. The goverment takes $1200 dollars PER MONTH out of my husbands paycheck. that is not including what is taken out of my paycheck. We are probably bring home less than people making less money than we do. That is how it works in our country. Take from the middle class and give it to people who don’t feel like working or bettering themselves.

I am screwed too because I won a prize that is counted as income although it is not money, because of that and the outragous cost of living in my area I will not get a refund. I cannot afford to buy a house, last year and next year we will not be close either
