Not sure. Check the bill at cbo.gov.
It’s still being negotiated. Call your Senators and your Congress person.
I have not heard that one.
Don’t hold your breath. Obama is a do nothing racist.
No.
Just waiting on that check!
Disgusting!
i pray he remember when this started
Supposedly it is a deduction from your payroll tax. Not a check in he mail. However, this is supposedly part of the plan. My question is a little simpler. Are those who are not working going to benefit. Will you get an extra 500 on tax returns for those who owe no taxes. That is the essence of welfare if in fact it happens. Look at the EIC closely and tell me that is not welfare.
Those stimulus checks are a scam. Right now, there is no stimulus check to be provided to tax payers. Right now….
But Obama doesn’t seem to know what he’s doing, so we may get one anyway….
For example, he is blaming Congress (the same term he was a member of) for causing the economic downfall while forgetting to put any blame on the war in Iraq… Right now, Congress doesn’t seem to want to give out any more stimulus payments b/c they seem to be under the impression if you give out stimulus checks, people will just save it or pay bills rather than spend it to stimulate the economy — Congress wants any payments to appear over time as tax cuts, reasoning people with an extra $50 in their paycheck will spend money more (e.g., extra night at movies, extra night at restaurants, etc…) than someone getting one lump sum. But Obama likes to go against Congress….
He also nominated 4 people for high power positions in the capital that Congress instructed him to investigate before nominating: Richardson (Commerce Sect’y), Killefer (WO perf. officer), Daschle (HHS), Geithner (Treasury). Well, he didn’t listen to Congress and now he has egg on his face.
He also wants the state dep.t to get $524 million to create 388 jobs that pay $30K a year. Congress is trying to reduce those costs which is causing Obama to go on TV and, Rev. Sharpton style, fight to have his stimulus remain in-tact.
NOTE: During his 3 years as senator, Obama sponsored 272 bills and cosponsored 834. 16 became law.
COMPARE: In her 5 years, Hillary Clinton sponsored 635 bills, cosponsored 2441 bills. 54 have become law.
So you never know. Obama might still do it just to piss off Congress. Apparently he has magical powers that the 535 members of Congress don’t so they ought to follow his lead as not only the head of executive power, but also apparently the head legislator of America despite a thing called the Constitution, separation of power and the checks and balances system.
OMIGOD! We are about to get in more debt than we could ever pay off in 1000 years, we are literally throwing money away left and right and all YOU care about is getting a check??
There IS no check. Quite the opposite, you’re about to become responsible for so much debt that your great great great grandchildren will be paying the interest.
READ the bill!
Oh, and I’m living cheap, driving a beater car, ,eating PNBJ sandwiches, so yeah….I’d love extra money too.
I got a second job. It’s called earning it.
Try it.
No. There is no money in it for Joe six pack in this porkulus bill. Only money for special interest groups like ACORN who filed a million fake voter registrations gets 1.2 billion for supporting Obama and the abortionist get 400 million to abort the poor people babies so in Nancy Pelosi’s words won’t take up state money supporting them with schooling and healthcare needs.
