Morning Jay, if you really want to kick the ball off, I suggest you give me a hand and put a push on COLA. This is my pet project I have started. I am putting a push on to get all Senior Citizens and Disabled Vets of America there COLA back in 2011. You are very young and probably don’t have a clue as to what has happend to us Seniors and Disabled Vets this year. So I will get you caught up. In 2008, we were notified that there would be NO COLA for Seniors and Disabled Vets for the year 2009. COLA is the cost of living adjustment and us old timers need this. In 2009, once again they told us there would be no COLA for us in the year 2010. That’s when they got my attention. You can ask any of us on The Four Pillars Sites about the COLA issue and Mr. Orlin E. (OLY) Olson and you will find out about me and my thoughts . The second thing to happen to us was we lost our $250.00 Stimulus Check. I am in the process of starting a New WEBSITE for all Senior Citizens and Disabled Vets to gather and get our voice out. I got your e-mail early this morning and I have been thinking of how I would approach you on this issue. The Stimulus Check Issue is over, done with and I hope you will take the matter of COLA seriously. The Senior Citizens and Disabled Vets like to gather at The Four Pillars Site to talk.

I await your response,

Mr. Orlin E. (OLY) Olson

What ever happened to Love thy Neighbor??
We are all struggling in some way or another, it is TRUE the Rich are getting Richer and the Poor will always be Poor. We are a Nation of Recklessness and Hardship. Ive always believed in helping people that are less fortunate and have been unfortunate my self, but our Government seems to Focus more on other Countries then the one Country it should ( the USA) We are a Rich Country in MANY ways.
They say Love, Health and Happiness is all we need. We must stand together and remember We were all put here for a reason. Adam and Eve didn’t have money, they lived off the land and had Love. Now you MUST have MONEY to LIVE . If you cant work thats a terrible thing, but if you can then you should. Now days you have to have Diploma and other Degrees to have a good paying Job, and sometimes that don’t even matter. My Husband and I struggle every month, but we seem to manage and we are both on SSI. We dont borrow money and we try not to complain, there are people that are worse off then us.
I agree that a Simulas for 2010 would help in many ways, but remember there are less fortunate people out there that dont even have a Home or Food to Eat. The needs of the Americans should come first, our Children are our Future!!!!!!!!

It is most unfortunate that people that need no help complain about the president’s healthcare bill, energy bill, etc. I have been gainfully enployed my adult life, and had multiple illnesses that has cost me lost of health insurance and I fall between the cracks for receiving any assistance for most of the programs in my state. I am uninsurable for these pre-existing health issues. I feel that the system has let people like me in similar conditions down. I paid taxes, am a citizen in good standing, and there is no help when I need it. I am losing my home, car, cannot afford the medicines I need to stay stable and perform a normal life as my health permits. This is not what I felt my country would allow to happen to its citizens. More money is spent on citizens not of this country than here at home. This is pitiful that banks, and car industries can get finacial help before its citizens.

The stimulus money should have been paid to every US citizen, not companies. If we believe in free markets and capitalism let it stand on its own bad investments should fail and the greedy people who invested take the loss, who is helping us. A bunch of wall street fat cats and executives who are overpaid were saved Yeah!

I think we should be given another stimulus check before the end of November. With the economy the way it is, I will not be able to afford a christmas for my children. The money we received last year was a god send. I understand that we are receiving a tax break on our paychecks, but that just isn’t enough. There is enough money to give to the people who are on welfare and unemployment, but what about those of us who are single parents living with one income. I bust my butt working everyday to try and keep a roof over my kids heads. Banks and car dealerships are being bailed out. Why can’t I be bailed out also. Everything is going up except my paychecks.

As a single sole parent the stimulus package that we got in 2008 really helped my children have a christmas if it wasnt for that stimulus package it would have been a very poor christmas and i dont think that these children not only mine every child should be left like that christmas is meant to be a happy time of the year for everyone but when you dont have the money its not happy it ends up being a poor christmas. It doesnt help with the prices of gifts childrens toys are at a high price i dont think people that have money think of those that dont im only on the pension and i find it very hard to get buy week by week so if this stimulus does go ahead with it would be a great help for many other familys and myself. Pease keven rudd help these children have a christmas

How about giving hard working families Stimulus Money instead of CEOS and upper management who used it for personal gain. After all is it not the hard working families who stir the economy!

out giving stimulus money to the hard working Ameriecan families

I think that the working people are entitled to another stimulus check. They bailed out all these big car industries, and are helping with mortgages, so why don’t the working people deserve a little help also. Now the people that aren’t working, maybe they should get a job. If the times are so tuff, stop crying and do something to improve your life. Don’t just think that getting free money is going to help you because when that money is gone then you will be in the same boat.

Why are all of you fighting?Hasn’t anyONE ever heard a kingdom divided………well you should be able to figure it out. LOOK to Jesus Christ.He is was and will be the ONLY help anyone can ask for.If it’s pride that wants you to deny Him, well it’s pride that’ll make you fall. Honestly, trust Him,Him alone.At least you will experience true peace&joy,no matter the circumstances.I will guarentee you too that He will provide and supersee any desire of your heart if IF you trust in Him and accept Jesus Christ as you true Savior.Hope to see you in eternity!If not, sorry, I did try to plant a seed in your heart.This is a time of revival,He is returning very soon,be prepared. You can be wrong in so many things don’t let this be one of them. Just try to have a conversation with Him,you will see for yourself,give Him a chance to show you what He has planned in your life,for your life. He is amazing!!!Love in Christ

Ok i just wanted to say a few things. I moved from NJ to Alabama last year. It took me less than a month to get a job. Within 6 months the job i was at closed and laid off over 240 people. I was unemployed for 4 months. I couldnt even collect unemployment because i got the job thru a Temp Agency. I would love to go back to school but i have to work a full time job to survive. I finally got another job but it is temporary. I am just covering for someone while they are out and by the end of this month i will be unemployed again. I am 23 years old i cant attend school because i cant afford to not work something and i dont even know what to goto school for. I am so worried if i put so much time into school when i graduate there wont be a job in the field i am going for. In the state of Alabama their are THOUSANDS of people out of work.

I do understand that the money has to come from somewhere and the Government ( & the people ) are so in debt its almost impossible for them to even attempt to help us. But what about my generation who is experiencing job losses & pay decreases. I know so many people who have now lost their homes! They have families, children and are now homeless. Im thankful at the moment i dont have any children and i almost dont ever want to have a child because i dont want them to go thru what im going thru.

Well my conclusion for myself is i am going to attend school full time and work part time. Hopefully i can maintain my bills and not loose my home! Im not going to cry about it because that wont do anything but make me feel worse but what i will do is just keep positive when one door closes another one opens!!

& to the guy above me that says forest gump i have one thing to say about life

” Dear God please make me into a bird so i can fly far, far far away from here”
