its sad to see how little rich americans think about society it seems to me that everyone is so busy worrying about money and not about the fact that we all have to live on this planet together.I take note that no one has any regard for the big picture.We are quickly becoming a world of excess and disposables.Weaker and not stronger or wiser.We as humans had better bond together before it is to late.Remember our past will determine our future.How do we want to be remembered when someone digs up our archelogical remains?

you know what it does start with self too many people bash obama for his efforts when the people forget the reason why the economy is the way it is before he even stepped into office this nation was under over 8 years now due to dumb accounts on bush’s fault and now steps in a man with a great deal of pride tring to make a stand and all the people can do is talk bad about him when its not his fault for this countrys fall off and it seems we forget who made it this way he is ony one man who hasnt even served a full year yet i mean cant we give him a chance change doesnt come over night i mean it took bush 8 years to burry us it may take obama longer to even get close to satisfaction so truthfully we can only blame ourselves for the countrys mess in all reality this nation was founden by imigrants well all took a ship to get here and now the people want to blame one man for a world of problems its a shame the kind of world we live in and some worst than others but who am i to say im just an very educated black woman from what the media calls a lower class neighbor hood but i do get to see what alot of others dont.

We definitely need another stimulus check because things just seems to be getting worse by the day. We can hardly afford to eat anymore because food is so high and the prices seems to be going higher every week. Everything is crazy. But what I can’t seem to understand about the stimulus checks is that they want people when they receive them to spend them. Then why won’t they give us something we can do something with. Not that I’m saying that I’m not grateful for what we do get because every little bit does help. And they need to also remember that single people also has to survive and have to pay that same prices as everybody else. We definitely do need a second stimulus check.

I think we should recive a another stimulate check to make some ends meet special for those who lost their jobs.I also think that they should give the disable people a rise in there checks.They also need to help the unemploye people find work.Make better health plans for the people mainly the senior.Increase mimummin wages to at least 8.00 an hour. Make better budget plans for the poor familys.Need more base on income rent home.Better insurance on jobs.Less tax tooking on single people.

Buthcher, you seem like a bright guy so how is it you’ve been bamboozled by those who tell you that you’re stuck with you’re life of being a butcher? You live in the greatest nation in the world where you have mobility and can be what you choose (as opposed to many other nations). Creativity, innovation, and persistence is what makes success (wealth does not= success). Get through your anger focused on those who have made choices to innovate and focus on yourself! If you dedicate half of your anger towards achieving realistic goals you’ll be wildly successful.

I do agree with u Cindy. 787billions dollars stimulus money just passed into law to recovery the economic. what i mean for that???give those money to the bank, GM (no money to buy a car)??? i remembered that Obama want american people spend money to help economic back on track, how can they spend if they have no job, no money to pay their bill? Obama gives money to the bank the help homeowner, but the bank do not care what homeowner under water they rip us off, like credit card they raise APR from 9 to 16% or 22%. Obama gives us 10 to 20 buck each week on pay check and we have to them back for 787 billions dollar in the future?? what u gonna use that 20 bucks a week? if Obama can help every homeowner by using stimulus money like Free five months on mortgage payment so homeowner can save some money from their little job to spend to help economy. do u guys a free with me? i think that enough for awhile. i do not want them to use those money in the wrong place and we and our children have to pay them back.

There are churches that have food banks and give out food once a week so just call your local churches and see which ones do and what day its on and there is a little help.

On the war in Iraq. We had to do it because there people over there killed lots of our people for no reason just because they were jealous of our country. Obama is doing the best he can and people need to stand up for themselves and help themselves to get out of their rut. Also people need to trust in GOD and know GOD will help us to get out of this rut. Believe me I know I have raised a daughter on my own that just turned 18 that has had 11 heart caths, 5 open heart surgeries and 3 chest surgeries had scoliosis and has 2 rods and 17 screws in her back and has liver problems and have never gotten a penny from her dad. She gets SSI and I have worked any and every kind of job to take care of her and am 41 and decided to go back to school to be able to better our lives too. GOD has always been there when we needed Him and if more people would turn to Him and trust in Him he would be there for them too. I have never had to go hungry or not have a roof over our heads because I pray to Him everyday and when things get tough I ask Him to help me make things get better. Now my daughter wants to travel the world and tell people about what she has gone through and how GOD has taken care of her and that He will them to if they will just let Him. I came from a poor family and am still poor but I dont blame the government for it. I am just doing my best to get out of it. GOD has a reason for everything that happens in this world. I work as a cashier at a grocery store and live check to check and cant even take my daughter out to eat when I want to cuz all our moneygoes toward rent and bills but I know that once I finish my schooling and become a nurse practitioner that things will get better. When I work so many hours at work the Government takes so much away from my daughters SSI check but that is just something I have to deal with so I do and dont complain and I deal with it.

All disabled peoples did receive a disabilty stimulus check in cash form, whereas every other taxpayer saw it in our increased checks from work. They did get something and it is nice for them. However, they were urged to spend it immediatly before it can mess up their personal SSI’s and Medicaid eligibility. If the government were to see how much they were granted, all of their other living fnds would have been haulted. I work for the developmentally disabled and many consumers went shopping–something they can never afford to do.

None of this really makes any sense to me. I mean why bailout all these big companies and banks. If they gave all the money to us citizens then we would spend it, deposit it, and such so they would still get money. A win win for all I think but guess we can’t all be smart.
