What about the rest of America that has fallen on hard times?
What about all the construction workers who have been out of work and un able to get work????

I think everyone should get a stimulus check...........

And any way what is 250.00 going to do for any one we are all so in debt this amount is a joke!

$250 is a bfd when your income is $750 a month on Social security.

Why did it take soooo long for the government to think about people who have no way ...I REPEAT NO WAY TO SUPPLIMENT THEIR INCOME --Now they get something that is not going to change their lives, --I am such a person I would love to go to work and make my own money but I can't I have a heart condition that keeps me from exerting myself, this money is not going to help me. I have (2) children still at home with me, one is graduating this year, I could not afford his cap and gown, pictures, invitations, announcements to his graduation, THERE WILL BE NO GRADUATION PARTY CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THAT MISTER PRESIDENT--I am ashame that I as a single mother cannot give him what he earned (a nice dinner with friends and family) The way the economy is now, our children are not going to be able to afford memories. I know this is a year my son will not want to remember.......thanks for $250---it does'nt make a difference.

I'm on unemployment, so I get the extra $25 a week for awhile, that's fine. But $250 untaxes, that would be 6 weeks of food for me or more, that's alot of money. MakeMeBetter, kids don't care about restaurants, they don't like when parents strain their budget. I know, I was that kid, and we didn't get to a restaurant, and I didn't care. My grama and her family went to a restaurant once in 10 years, and my mom only got one apple in 6 years. If you have food at home, just make it festive, buy some streamers at the dollar store and a cheap outlet cake. If you are happy, your kids will be too.

Honestly before I got to the comments i was thinking BFD... LOL.. then scrolled down and there it was,, lol.. just had to share that!

This is in reply to all who said "BFD". I can't believe how ungrateful people are...the homeless would love to get the money. If you don't want it, then donate it to homeless shelters, that would make a BFD to the shelters!!!! And to those of you who are so deep in debt.....quit living beyond your damn means. Budget and get out of debt. Quit living from pay check to pay check.

IT TRULY IS A BFD...I'M BUYING $250 WORTH OF LOTTO TICKETS...

To people like me....living and supporting a child on $674 a month...it IS a bfd!

My family is screwed up with unemployment, home foreclosure, loss of insurance, med problems they can't get help with and etc. I live on a pension and Soc. Sec. pay my own health Ins. etc. but I help the rest all that I can so that is where my stimulus Money, if I get it, will go
Thanks for asking. I don't feel the least guilt in taking the check, it is small potatoes compared to what the Gov't does to and for others.

You are an ill-informed idiot. It is a huge deal to someone living solely on social securty and can barely get by. I help my own mother financially who could not afford to live on social securty alone because that doesn't pay the mortgage/rent. How are they supposed to eat you fool. It's people like yourself who are idiots and spout off their mouth when they know absolutely nothing.

What's a measley $250 check going to do? It's like spitting in the ocean. Do you know what would be better? Well let me tell you, If you give every American $1,000,000 it sure would stimulate the economy. Every kid who is thinking of going to college would use some of it to go without having to get a student loan, not to mention buying a car to go to school. Every other American would buy cars, houses, boats, etc. etc. No more morgages to worry about, no more creditcard debts . No more bailing out the corporations to no avail. It is like throwing good money after bad . The corporations will always be asking for more bail out money. The government can finally be out of the red and into the black. We won't need to borrow money from foreign countries. We would be the great America we use to be.

A $250.00 IS a BFD to the seniors who get little income.

im gonna by oxys and weed,and some maddog and maybe take my kid to mickey d's fo some food and run arround and catch some h1n1(dats du flu niggy),duh niggy ya know yall will too.

SSI in California was recently reduced by $37 a month. The $250 will buy me a new DVD player and some badly needed clothing. Thank you Mr. President for remembering those of us who are elderly, blind and/or disabled. I will spend my stimulus with gratitude and prayers for our nation's economy.

/Some ungrateful old hags we have on here huh?

MAYBE FOR YOU BUT NOT FOR ME .YOUR NAME FITS YOU
