Will There Be A Second Stimulus Check In 2009?

by Mike on December 30, 2008

The question all Americans want to know is whether they will receive a late Christmas present this year in the form of a 2nd economic stimulus check.

In 2008 the government sent out economic stimulus checks to 130 million Americans with the idea that this money would be spent on consumer goods and services thereby stimulating the economy. While the program was considered a success by some – it didn’t prevent the economy from slowing down into a recession with the possibility of a depression.

President-elect Obama has proposed an economic stimulus package for 2009 which will total almost 1 trillion dollars – or about $3300 for every single American.

Second economic stimulus check

So far there has been no mention of any stimulus checks (like in 2008) however that doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Nothing has been approved or finalized so it is still possible. If a second economic stimulus check is going to happen in 2009 it would be more likely to appear later in the year if it looks like the initial stimulus efforts are not doing enough to get the economy going.

Stimulus tax cuts

Obama has proposed stimulus tax cuts of $1,000 for couples and $500 for individuals. If this passes, it might be the closest thing to an actual stimulus check that most Americans will receive in 2009. This kind of stimulus is not as much fun as getting a large check all at once since it would take the form of reduced withholding taxes on regular paychecks. However, in the end – extra money is extra money.

Emergency Energy rebate

One of the more controversial initiatives is an energy relief plan to help Americans pay their energy bills this winter. The $1,000 emergency energy rebate would be given directly to Americans and would be paid for by windfall profit taxes on the large oil companies.
This particular initiative might not have much of a chance given that with the rapidly dropping price of oil, home heating costs are going to be a lot lower than initially predicted as recently as a couple of months ago.

Infrastructure stimulus spending

The Obama stimulus plan is calling for a huge investment in roads and bridges and mass transit improvements. This will total $850 billion over 2 years. This portion of the plan is the main driver behind the goal to create 2.5 million jobs over 2 years.

Dear Mom4Life,

I never believe everything that I read and I never will. Thanks for the
age compliment but I don’t really think that was the point you were
trying to make. If you want to walk around with a bible you do have that
right. We are totally different type of people but yet we made a point to
one another without using bad language. Compliments to both of us !
Blessings to you too.

i love how everything turns into an argument. i dont think there should be a second stimulus check. the goverment should fix whats going on around us to help people get jobs. get the homeless off the street with more afforable prices. things are way too expensive now a days and i do believe thats a part of everyones money issue. i really do. but i dont think obama is gonna live up to any of his promises. this is the only president that i know had his face all over everything before he was swore in! everyones hooing and haing about him and hes not gonna live up to one thing. everything is taxed,clothes,food,cars houses its not right. take the f***ing tax off of things that are absolutely nessasary to people. maybe we all wouldnt have such a rough time living! and if all of us from the time we first start filing taxes till last year could live with out the stimulus check i think we all can do it again

To: 16 EMILY&DAVID AUTRY and anyone else who needs help with Medical bills.
I don’t know what state you live in…but in PA I contacted a Senator’s office (one who works with insurance) they gave me information for a patient of mine about PATIENT ASSISTANCE programs. This person became disabled and had no income. He was no eligible for SS Disability until he was disabled for a full one year. So what happens in that one year to a Disabled person who needs constant medical attention??? Pharmaceutical companies offer help to patients in need..either free or at low cost. It takes some work, but worth it in the end. Also, check for free clinics in your area. Most are non profit or not for profit and take donations only. If for some reason you need to go to the Hospital, don’t neglect your health for fear of getting a large bill. Most Hospitals allocate a certain amount of money to be able to WRITE OFF non collectible debt.

I can tell you one thing, I would LOVE to go to work. I don’t care where , flipping burgers is fine with me. However some of us are in such a position financially that we would be paying more to go to work than what we make. I am married and my husband DOES work, and yes we DO have 6 children. # of them are under 3 years old. Heehe yea, i know know what you are thinking, and no they were not planned. But that’s another story… I worked up until my last child was born, in 2008. Childcare was too exspesive and there is no assistance available for our income bracket. ( I qualify for childcare assistance on our current income, but as soon as I get my first paycheck, I would no longer qualify). We are one of those families that live on the cusp. A check this year would greatly help with our bills. Even if he just gave us $1000 in the form of a check, at least I could pay off a credit card. $13 extra on my husbands paycheck won’t knock the card payment out of our monthly bills. Yes, it will make it get paid off faster, but everyone knows that its easier to right off a small amount and spend it on a couple of gallons of milk, instead of putting it where it needs to go. WE do the best we can, but it is a constant struggle to make sure that the bills are paid. We are like alot of people who had debt before the economy went into a landslide. Just a hint to the people out there struggling , put all your credit cards in a cup of water in the freezer, at least you have to think LONG and HARD before you are able to go out and buy the material things that you can’t really afford. There are days now that we count change for gas, instead of grabbing a credit card. ( Especially since they are frozen lol)

Brooke,

You are absolutely right. We can discuss and not be mean. Who knows, we’d probably even like each other in person. I am surrounded (and sometimes loved:) ) by all kinds of people…not just people like me. When I see your name…it makes me smile, the only Brooke I know is the sweetest girl… Anyway, thanks, take care!

7 Stewart0282 February 17, 2009 at 1:00 pm

Im pretty sure that everyone will get another check this year, but I dont understand where the government is getting all this money to do this when we are almost in a Great Depression again!! I think the Government should be using all this money to save plants such as GM, Ford, etc. I think they should also use it to create more jobs out there for the American People. I think its a bad idea to give the money cause the rich will get richer from and the poor with get poorer. I know that some people can use it to pay off bills, but you know as well as I do that maybe only 20% of the American people will use it for that. Maybe the Government should use each check for the people that are in debt and automatically send it to the credit collectors that these people are in debt with to pay them off. That would be really smart I think. But this Stimulus check will not go as smooth as they think it will!!

I can and Do say check your bible at the door and every other fiction book in the library…..just because you believe in the greatest Fairy tale ever perpetrated on humanity, doesn’t mean I have to listen to it. Talk rational and I will listen, but if you get into the Praise Jesus mode, I and many others will just tune you out as another “religious fanatic”…..I don’t see very many religious people acting Jesus-like…..most say to hell with the less fortunate….and YES they do cast the first stone MANY times….just because you say you are religion, it does not equal GOOD PERSON. AS for my angry….your right and we all SHOULD be angry! WE are getting Screwed big time….I am NOT numbed up or apathetic enough to not feel Furious! I wish EVERY American would get Furious and Say “GOD DAMN it We’re NOT going to take it anymore! That would make me VERY HAPPY!

The fact that tax cuts do not start until 2010, Will not give fast boost we need to kick start the economny,So other parts can help maintain that and do more to keep it going. This is a major flaw that I see. We need kick first, Than feed the rise. Just my opinion. Thanks

Cut to the chase….
You say you have a friend (a friend in Jesus, no doubt:P) You mention this friend is not a believer in the Christian faith and has many different view from you (who does believe that Jesus Christ is YOUR saviour and lord). You say one of you is pro-choice and believe in the equality of women….the other does not…..can I take a wild shot in the dark and guess that YOU the religious fanatic does not support women’s rights and the right to choose? I know I could wrong and you could be the first ‘christian” person I ever meant that actually thought for themselves. If you are the one that is pro choice and pro womens equality….I owe you an apology…..but we both know your not….cause you guys all think just alike! I am glad you actually have one friend that isn’t brainwashed and that you haven’t succeeded in to converting! PRAISE THE LORD!

P.S. I do have a dog that I LOVE dearly obviously>>>>>>>>>>>>>I also love to garden and have a rose garden and vegetable garden that would make you believe the Garden Of Eden really exist. I do love Nature and Animals and Life…..I would love nothing more than the world to go on and for everyone to live Happily ever After…..I do believe, just not in Jesus as a God. I don’t discuss my beliefs or lack of them unless someone else bring up religion and the Christians alway do. I would love to hold a conversation without some Christian bible thumper….preaching to me what is right and wrong. Tell me what you think is right or wrong…but don’t act like you have God on your side, so therefore, you must be right and I must be wrong. That doesn’t fly with me….I still think religion is fine, but just remember, it is YOUR drug of choice to keep YOU sadated.

My Own Thoughts……
Loved your post, you made some excellent points. I couldn’t agree more about Big Business and Wall Street. These companies all have a bottom line and Share holder and bonuses to consider. They really could care less what happens to America or Americans. The auto industry for example, want to kill off the unions and go back to mininum wage and no benefits for it’s worker. They are building their plants overseas, and not paying import tariffs or extra in taxes to do this. As for the American-made car….they don ‘t hold there value, they break down more and they are gas guzzlers. If you haven’t watched “Who Killed the Electric Car”, I will tell you who did it….GM, we could have had a choice of Electric Cars or a hybred fuel efficient car, but GM smashed them all and went with the HUMMER of all things Unholy! :-) So the auto industry got themselves into this mess and now we have to Bail them out…so their CEO’s can afford to give themselves more FAT BONUSES and private jets…. and that is how the other half (5% actually) lives….I did like your post though…you said just what I have been feeling! Who is going to bail US out?????

13 StressedLady February 18, 2009 at 4:54 pm

I have a question that I hope someone here can answer. I am an single parent who worked all last year. Unfortunatly, as of Jan ‘09 my company was closed down, and I have been able to find work. If I don’t find a job soon. Will I just miss out on my stimulus credit, If they don’t have a paycheck to add it to? This is a question that is on my mind. If anyone can answer please help.

Thank you

14 StressedLady February 18, 2009 at 4:55 pm

Very sorry I have been unable to find work. My mistake. :)

15 StressedLady February 18, 2009 at 8:22 pm

Our stimulus credit as I understand it is if you have a job you get about $13.00 per week based on a 40 hr work week + a $300.00 to $800.00 per yr on taxe fileing.
I your not working you get $25.00 more per week or check + a extention on your unemployeement bennifits + cobra insurance if you are insured through your employer.

I could have this wrong but I don’t think so.

17 Vickie February 18, 2009 at 11:48 pm

I wanted to laugh when I read Give the Money to the People’s thoughts about the Hummer being unholy. I have the 1st Hummer also have a Tahoe. They may be gas guzzlers, I sit higher and can see what is going on in front of the next couple of cars. I also need them for when it snows. Do I need both? No, but I like both of them. I had a Monte Carlo, it had speed but did nothing in snow and I was low to the ground and could see nothing. I also know that I am safer in either of those than any of the tin cans they sell as cars.
I was listening to the radio today. There was a guy saying when fuel went up people went out and traded in their trucks, full size suv’s, etc. for those compact cars only to find that they hated (yes the word hated was used) those barely used tiny cars, and people could get a good deal on those compact cars because now the market is flooded with them.
If you don’t have to have a GM product, there is always the SMART car, its electric. GM didn’t put an end to the electric car they just refuse to put out one that wouldn’t run more than 4 hrs. The other concern they had was speed. The majority of people won’t pay thousands for a car that won’t run over 50mph. I know I wouldn’t. Pay a little closer attention they are still working on one that will work for most people. For now there is the hybrid. They are working with Perdue University for a car that can run on water, yep good old tap water.
As far as breaking down…Honda, Toyota, etc break down too and just as often. The cost to fix them are just as high. The cost to fix a Mini Cooper is just off the wall, all parts come from England. Here is my thing, there isn’t one vehicle out there that is worth $18,000 – $65,000. New vette ZR1, 620 + horsepower, has to be pre-paid for is $104,000. My husband said at the dealership he works in has sold 4 since January.
Just my two cents worth….

Brook,
I am just telling it like I see it…..if you want to keep your head in the sand and pretend everything will just work itself out, that is your right. As for offending people, I find you offensive, you don’t have anything helpful to say. You act like this room if for making friends, it isn’t, it’s for discussion and sharing. So if you don’t want to listen to other people’s “opinion” you better get rid of your computer, cause that is all the internet is….”other People’s points of view and suggestions.” Russ Limbaugh, the Pigman, says MANY offensive things. I consider him an evil word terrroist, but you know what, he still has the right to EXPRESS even his most EVIL, destructive opinions. I know you are older and so am I, so you express yourself as you see fit and so will I. P.S. You aren’t acting very “Christian-like” to attack my daughter in law, who is a wonderful person…..but than you are a hypocrite!

19 Give the money to the people February 19, 2009 at 11:52 am

Cut to the Chase….your best post was 122, you said alot of the same things I have been trying to say…..I do believe the Banks need to destroy our economy before they can totally take over…..and don’t doubt it, they will. The new world order and one universal bank will be in control of all of us.
We all know only the tip of the iceberg, we all know how it is affecting us personally. If we all knew the whole plan and where we were headed, I think we would revolt, but now we are just struggling to get by and are confused about what the future holds. That is all part of the plan. What you said about keeping the powers that be in charge, even thought they have failed shows you realize who is really in Charge. If any of us would have failed like they did, we would be fired or Out Of Business…..why do do they get a Free Pass? I guess we will all see in the future…….I just see it now and I think that is why I am so upset.

20 Lisa February 19, 2009 at 5:53 pm

Vickie, I 100% agree with you. The other thing that gets me is the ones who have decent paying jobs who sit and whine about how much they hate their job and wish they could just quit and so on and so forth. They fall right into the category of the people who are like your friends, spend frivolously and then want help when they get in a bind. They fall into the category of people who I’d like to slap in the face with a big ol’ fashioned dose of reality. I will admit in my younger days I made the mistake of getting credit cards and spending them thinking at some point I’d be able to pay them off, however I fell short and was never able to. I didn’t even use the credit cards for important things. I just blew the money on them. Minus the second card, which I used to buy things for my child before I gave birth.
But, I learned the hard way about spending frivolously and at my age, I know a lot more about the world than I should but I prefer it that way. I was raised to go by what you need. Wants come last. Once all necessities are secured then you begin to save for wants.

I commend you on being able to save enough for a house! That’s an amazing feat. Hopefully when I’m done with college I can begin to do the same.

Best of luck to those whom are job hunting, I’m right there with ya. And also best of luck to those whom are disabled and struggling. I wish you nothing but the best. It may not seem like it now, but one day things will all fall into place for everyone.

21 Vickie February 19, 2009 at 6:13 pm

Lisa: Bravo! Once you have college out of the way, the only suggestion I can give you is save. No matter the amount. I have seen weeks and sometimes months the only thing I could spare to put in savings was $1. That dollar was one more than was there before. When I was single the only thing that mattered was providing for my son. Not that I didn’t spoil him every now and then, they like the new toy every now and then, a trip to McDonalds, or going to a movie.

We have two paychecks so the saving is a little bigger and added up a little quicker. I knew what the housing market was. I started looking at foreclosures. Some are really trashed, they take everything they can. I looked at one house that at one time was probably very cute. They took the furnace, original hardwood floors, there were no cabinets or counter in the kitchen or anything in the bathrooms. I just waited and kept looking. A good real estate agent will know the listings in the area your interested in. They can usually give you a ball bark of what your starting offer should be. I have one credit card (suggestion of my dad) I keep it and use it only in extreme cases. I have used it once in 6 years.

22 Lisa February 19, 2009 at 6:18 pm

Ah yes! The “emergency” credit card. Not having one because of my foolish mistakes in the past is one of the many things I regret. But I do thank you for the very enlightening insight. I will definetely keep that in mind when I start working. I’ve already figured out my budget and I’ll have approximately 300 dollars a month leftover. So I will be able to put some in an emergency savings account and the other in a savings account for a house. I’m proud of people like you that can make it work. Congrats to you & yours! My ex in laws just bought a foreclosed home. Worst mistake ever on their part. So I’ll steer clear of those lol.

23 Jennifer February 20, 2009 at 1:24 am

As I read this posts it makes me realize how passionate we are as Americans. So many interesting viewpoints and so many hypothesis all in regards to our current state of affairs. It’s great.

So I have to all of you…how many of you voted in this past presidential election. How about previous years?

Many of you have written incredible posts about your feelings, fears, and anger towards our countries gruesome situation – and they are compelling to say the least, so -how many of you have written your concerns to your governor, alderman, senator, our legislature?

How many of us know what our taxes are being used for and why?

In my opinion, it is sad that we Americans are just now “waking up” to the fact that all this happening to America. It took a cold dunk of reality for most of us to wake up out of slumber and perhaps the only reason is was because it impacted our spending and life style habits. We had all seen the headlines of how so many large corporations were/are destroying this country by “raping” it of all our integrity and pride. I am disgusted and in shock that our government, which I had/have faith in – would let something like this happen – for a second time no less. I am hurt that not only is the government letting these grossly obese companies and their felony CEO’s get away with some of the most repugnant crimes ever committed – they’re actually bailing their butts out.

Sometime ago – we should have said ” We’re not taking this anymore”! “We demand honest leaders” Instead of just now realizing: “Geez…where have all the leaders gone?” We are the decision makers as to who we put in office and what happens there – why then – are we doing nothing about it. My theory is that people don’t believe their vote or their voice counts, perhaps they believe someone else will fix the problem. That’s just sad.

Instead of saying “I’m too busy to think about what’s going” we all need to start using the 1st Amendment (i.e. writing to your senator/congressman) and start speaking LOUD about your dissonance with what is happing to all of you personally as well as to what your thoughts/feelings are as to how our leaders are running this country.

Things WILL NOT CHANGE IF WE DO NOT START SPEAKING UP! We can’t close our eyes and say “someone else will take care of it”. It starts with you.

Off my soap box but I do have to voice one last opinion about the automotive industry. Whether or not we agree with the politics of what is happening with the BIG 3 ( GM, Ford, and Chrysler) they are one of this country’s largest import/export business. Because of that we remain a strong competitive country. IF one of the big 3 go under our foreign counter parts will gain the majority of the import/export business and we will loss our leverage. I could go on and on about this one.

I know someone will say that I should not put faith into our government but I love America and I am proud to be an American.

Oh – by the way – did anyone hear if we will be getting a stimulus check this year! : ) joke.

Maybe after the goverment figures out the banks & big three are not working.

Another thouhgt might be every thing is working good & it will be a way to Celebrate .

25 Q February 21, 2009 at 12:08 am

I mean serously. . . Not to be blunt but isn’t the real problem peoples habits. People want too much cant afford it and try to cut back when its too late. Then when the gov’t steps in and tries too do something to help, it seems everyone now relies on the gov’t to keep doing it. I don’t really have a solution but something is going to give I just hope its for the best.

26 I Believe March 5, 2009 at 2:13 am

I thought that I would take the opportunity to share with you some important information. To be perfectly honest, alot of us are missing the big picture. Yes! That’s right! YOU, who are reading this, need to understand what I am about to tell you. The world is not made up of religion, people, cars or materialistic objects with a depreciative value, that will soon not matter at all. The only true boss that is holding this world, universe, country together is the SON of GOD. That is right JESUS CHRIST. EVERY LIE I COME AGAINST IT NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS! Have we became to earless to what we even confess on the back of the dollar? IN GOD WE TRUST! There is only one GOD, one FAITH, and one BAPTISM! Let me tell you a little bit about myself! I am 19 years old. I am a musician at my church. I have been involved with DCFS growing up. I didn’t have anyone to care for me. Things are deeper than you can imagine or know. All I am saying is, HE IS TAKING CARE OF ME EVEN NOW! I give back to God what he has given me. My church supports me. MY RENT IS PAID, CAR NOTE IS PAID, BILLS PAID. GOD MADE US A PROMISE. A PROMISE THE HE WILL NEVER BREAK. HE SAID ONLY IF YOU WALK UPRIGHT, I WILL NOT WITH HOLD ANY GOOD THING FOR YOU. THAT IS ONLY IF YOU WALK UPRIGHT. WALKING UPRIGHT IS EXODOUS 20! READ IT! I DARE YOU, WHO QUESTION GOD TO OPEN YOUR BIBLE AND START READING MATTHEW TO REVELATION! I BET YOU WILL START TO SEE THAT GOD WASNT PLAYING IN THE BEGGINING! TIME OUT FOR COMPLAINING. TIME IS IN FOR PRAYING. WE’VE TRIED EVERYTHING EXCEPT JESUS! WE ARE SO OFF FOCUSED!

I Believe…
Good thing you believe. What I believe is that your post had nothing to do with a stimulus check, you found a place you thought you could do your bible beating. Sorry wrong blog for the subject you posted. Lets see your 19, I’m sure you know all there is to know about the world. If you pray hard enough and not work will you still eat, have a place to live, clothing? I think not. All I will say is pick up something other than the bible as a point of reference. You really don’t get the big picture, most of us didn’t at 19. (Let me guess before you say it you’ve lived life and see a lot in those years…Yes, I am snickering.) You say ,”The world is not made up of religion, people, cars or materialistic objects”. How I beg to differ. Many people do believe in one form or another of religion and it has great meaning to them, so there you are wrong. The world is made up of people, again look around all of them differ from you and you can learn much from them. Materialistic objects such as houses, cars, etc…are important to our entire system. We need houses to live, we depend on vehicles for more than just getting ourselves to and from point A to point B. Im sure you eat, semi’s bring your food to you.

Please do us all a favor, put down the bible, step outside your compound, read a newpaper or watch the news on TV.

Not trying to offend any of the rest of the readers for your beliefs or anyway I may of offended you.

29 Mom4Life March 5, 2009 at 7:47 am

I BELIEVE….
at 19 years old…you have lived and learned alot more than people 3 x your age. Avoid being influenced or trampled on by those easily offended by HIM, keep lookin up…and you will see where OUR STIMULUS comes from! Take Care! GOD Bless!!! :)

30 Diane March 5, 2009 at 7:59 am

Sorry to say that this stopped being about getting a check or not long time ago. It has just been a place to bash people and tear them down. No good ever comes from putting people down for their beliefs. There is truth to some of what each of you say and some not so truths. But what happened to learning to get along even if we don’t see eye to eye. With the name calling that has gone on here. We don’t need to fear terrorism in this world it is right here in these pages. We are all gods children or if you don’t believe in God you are still or should be equal to anyone else in this world. Not in material weath but in your humanity. Please try to find that humanity and use it wisely.

31 Mom4Life March 5, 2009 at 8:03 am

Thanks Dianne, well said. I don’t agree with lots of people, but I hope I don’t treat them poorly. :)

As best as I can tell – instead of true stimulus…we opted for pork…

32 Diane March 5, 2009 at 8:10 am

Mom4 life I don’t think that you have ever been mean to anyone here sorry if you thought I was talking about you, I do think we all can disagree with out be littling each other, and you have sent a good example. I just feel for those who can’t have a disscusion without. and I do think you are right about the stimulus just wish we could have the pork the real kind love to have a barbacue. lol

33 Mom4Life March 5, 2009 at 8:41 am

Diane,

Naaah I wasn’t thinking about you meaning me…I just know I get mad when I read some stuff too…but I try to censor myself. I don’t want to be hurtful….it just isn’t me. You can’t take back things you say…or type…and they can leave permanent scars when you just throw out the first thing that you think… I try to restrain myself! (Not Always successful at it!) That was what I meant…if I slipped a mean comment in on a post or something! I do wish we could all discuss…passionately…without being mean.

and mmmmmmmmmmmmm I love BBQ! I’m a Southern Girl…we like our BBQ! :)

34 I Believe March 5, 2009 at 10:44 am

To All!

Let me explain something to you. I am going to be perfectly clear. The bible is not to bring peace. The bible is to bring division. I am clearly trying to tell you that if you seek first the kingdom of God, everything else will be added. Yes we are still talking about rather or not we are going to get a stimulous check or not. I am saying that just because the state is trying to return to us what they have been screwing up for so long, really is unreliable. I am simply also trying to tell you that, if you read the bible, it clearly tells you how the were going to do this. Look at it this way. The bible exist and has never change. Technology two hundreds years ago changed, the way houses look today changed, our cars changed, our finance change, books changed, presidents change, our jobs changed, so called religion teachers and everything else change. Not lets be smart. What is the only thing that has not changed! The sky is still blue, the sun still reflects light, the wind still blows, we still wake up, we still have seasons. The ANSWER IS JESUS! We all need to stop lying to ourselves, we are going straight to hell if we dont pray for one another. Notice that i have not identified a particular person as to whom I am speaking in reference to. I am including myself. GROW UP! We are losing focus. If you really want to get better, try JESUS! I treat everyone the same. I am a parent so i understand! I know how hard it is. But, I am not made up by this world. I dont love this world! I love JESUS! The world is going to pass away. It is not because I said that, BUT I AM DID! We should be able to come together as family and communicate about the issues of the world. This is the biggest issue of the world. WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES! I’ve taken in about five people into my apartment that didnt have no place to go. I am not seeking for a good job or anything. My reward doesnt come from you. I took them in all of which didnt believe in GOD! After praying through their storms as well as mine too, couple months of having to rebuke the enemy, can you say all have jobs and cars and even their own house now. The had to put GOD FIRST! I didnt even know them. I have a two bedroom apartment and me, my sister, and my son stay here. You can’t make me doubt about the GOD I know. I pray for this country. I love and if you needed help, I would’ve helped you. Your foolish thoughts and trickery ideas will not last. God will make a fool out of us if we think we are bigger than him. For so many years we have. This is the result of our foolishness and its not the end. If you don’t believe it wait until the end! THIS IS STILL ABOUT THE STIMULOUS CHECK! IF GOD DECIDES TO LET US HAVE WHAT WE WANT THEN SO BE IT! NO ARGUING THERE! Thank you mom4life, you will know them by their fruit! Do you know what I’m talking about?

I am just going to repost my comment 51, because like I stated in that comment…the religion fanatics do it everytime. No matter what you are talking about, they ALWAYS get into the ‘Praise JESUS’ mode. If you fear the religious fanatics in the middle east, you should fear the ones right here in our country even more. The are trying to ‘force’ their idols and and man made gods upon us and our children. They are trying to take over our Gov’t and empower their Leaders. If you would do a little research on religion you would find it was created to keep the masses in their place by ‘professing’ that they were speaking for ‘god’. I feel sorry for the young people that have no family and join these cults or gangs so they can feel like they ‘belong’ to ’something’. It’s sad…..Brooke NICE ZINGER….:)
My comment #51…. I can and Do say check your bible at the door and every other fiction book in the library…..just because you believe in the greatest Fairy tale ever perpetrated on humanity, doesn’t mean I have to listen to it. Talk rational and I will listen, but if you get into the Praise Jesus mode, I and many others will just tune you out as another “religious fanatic”…..I don’t see very many religious people acting Jesus-like…..most say to hell with the less fortunate….and YES they do cast the first stone MANY times….just because you say you are religion, it does not equal GOOD PERSON. AS for my angry….your right and we all SHOULD be angry! WE are getting Screwed big time….I am NOT numbed up or apathetic enough to not feel Furious! I wish EVERY American would get Furious and Say “GOD DAMN it We’re NOT going to take it anymore! That would make me VERY HAPPY!

I must say that I agree with your last post – as a matter of fact I agree with the majority of your posts.

And to Brooke: You’re too funny.

Keep it going!
