Thanks for the feature, I have noticed many people don't get excited about being featured anymore. I think it's still great.

Charles,

   To my knowledge no one will be getting any "stimulus checks." That is mostly a rumor and actualy there are some scams out there trying to capitalize on that rumor. Most taxpayers will see a small (approx. $13) reduction in income taxes starting in April I beleive, so that is a payment in some form. If I am incorrect on this, anyone can correct me, but I beleive I've got your question covered.

Thanks for the response. It's what I believe but want to be sure. My sister seems to think there will be so I am curious and would like some more responses backing up yours.

Yep, one of the biggest April Fool's joke from the Gov't.  We are supposed to see $13 extra in our pocket on a weekly basis however, energy taxes (gas, electric, oil, etc) , cap n trade (found in budget), are all gonna to do a lot more damage than the $13 is gonna help. 

Makes me feel like Obama is doing a good job distracting the US Pop while giving them $13 only to have a pick-pocketer taking money out of my back pocket.

The only stimulus I see from all these bills is the stimulation of gov't.  The servants are over throwing their master?

Not really, it will take a few months for the package to be carefully read and understood by anyone other then king obama and his cronies. (yes i know thats out of context, but it is too good a reply)

Charles it's not meant for you ( or most folks) to understand it. You're not supposed to get wise to it until the next big issue takes this off the front page. It's written in legal babble, so only other legal babble reads can interpret it. You wouldn't want to put layers out of work would you?

This reminds me a video of one of king obama's cronies saying that the middle class is too buisy right now to carefully watch and understand the "change" they are trying to bring before it is already too late...

I know what you mean and it's why I asked in the hopes that someone who could actually make sense out of it could give me the short version or this BS of a bill.

short version? communism and pork that we cannot even afford funded by taking massive loans increasing the national debt by 0.8 trillion dollars.

Isn't this interesting: Communist Russia's socialist economy collages in 1992 and they move to Capitalism. 2009 Capitalist USA is on the verge of collapse and moves toward socialism. Can we not comprehend "recent" history to see what doesn't work?

American's are known to want to do things bigger and better.  I just hope that this collapse is bigger and better (in the negative sense) than the other ones we've seen.

really? I hope they would proove me utterly wrong and be the first example of working functional communism...

I'd rather be proven wrong about this...

Then again, I also wish that I had a fairy whose dust allowed me to fly to a magic land of unicorns.
