WOW an extra $13.00 a week !!!

Also, I just wanted to add that it is completely unrealistic to expect an overnight change in our economy. The poor economic state we are in is several years in the making. It will probably be quite a while before we see identifiable improvement, but I for one am happy that we have an administration working very hard to find solutions. I certainly wouldn't want to be the one making those decisions!

I don't feel the 13.00 is going to do anything in my paycheck either and that is only half a year so it shall end in June..

I did not vote for Obama but I am giving him a chance to prove himself, he helps the country we all benefit from it.He did not create this mess. We can go on and on and we all have our own opinions why we are in this mess. So why point the fingers at anyone, greed came into play here.

Obama said he was going to make changes so lets see what he does, he has four years to prove himself and if he is good he will get re elected.

Well said, Gina. I don't have a clue what will happen but I do know it is going to take some time to get out of this mess and I have to learn to be patient!

I know that we all don't agree about many things, politics being only one, and that is OK, that's as it should be. If we all agreed, then how boring would that be!!!

I'm sorry I kept this thread going so long, I should not have replied so many times. I'll stop now.

Peace, Love, & Harmony to Everyone!!!

For one thing we are $787 Billion dollars in dept, and its growing !!!
By the time i retire, there not going to be money in social security for me, i'll be working till the day i die.. Already know that one.
Now you have Obama, bailing all these home owners out, blaming everything on the lenders, and the banks when the government set the gide lines on mortagages in the first place. "everyone should own a house' the american dream, there the ones that loaned these people money, that had no intentions on paying it back, now they owe more on there houses than there worth!!.
He's preaching that we now have to "live within our means"
As for his "welfare reform" he's taking that back years, they had a nice working system now, he's giving them more money, more food stamps so there more dependent on the government, how is that teaching these people not to live on the system???
And i'm not even going to get into the million dolllars he gave to Acorn, or the million dollars he gave for STD research... Now how in the hell is that going to help our economy??
and the 3.5 million green jobs he's going to create is also a job, these are low paying wal-mart jobs....
As for him ending the war, read the front page of any paper today....
this is not going to work... its not...

Gayle, I'm with you and I'm opting out on this thread also, with this last note: My brother is handicapped and earns his living at one of those low paying Wal-Mart jobs. THINK ABOUT IT!
