if we got a good stimulus check we would put it toward our home we got five years ago after the old one burn down since the constractor didn’t set the house on the foundation and the house is sinking and the walls are cracking.

If I was granted another stimulus check I would do like all the rest of us working mother get out of the debt we put ourselves in taking care of our children or like me trying to go back to school to get enough education so I can get that job that helps me pay my bill all $1200 worth. So I really need it and it will definitely help me out a lot.

Use to pay down debt. Tired of the harassing phones calls from banks that have already gotten their stimulus that are still profiting from their unfair aprs/penalties. My kids are hollering for junk food took no spring break to neverwhere. Not much for gift giving at christmas. I agree the fuel prices hurt all of us and it put to much debt on us for that and now we can not get ahead with bills that need to be paid. More layoff talks in the news. Who will be spared? Politicians get off your high expense suit tails that have been nicely dry cleaned and get to work for the families of all us consumers hurting severely out here in the U.S.A

FUNNY ASS COMMENTS ON HERE… BUT ANYWAYS IF I RECIEVE ONE I WILL DO THE SAME THING.. TAKE MY CHILDREN SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES… MAYBE THROW A FEW DOLLARS TOWARDS BILLS. IVE HAVE WORKED TWO JOBS FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS RAISING MY THREE CHILDREN ON MY OWN WITH NO HELP FROM THE CHILDRENS FATHERS. WORKING THE TWO JOBS, I MOVED MY CHILDREN IN TWO A NEW 2 BEDROOM APARTMENT BUT THEN A MONTH LATER I HAVE BEEN LAID OFF DUE TO COMPANY CLOSING AT ONE JOB. SO THE MONEY WOULD COME IN HANDY.

When it comes to times of trials there are no color boundaries. Black as well as white people know how it hurts not to have enough money to get the basic needs in life met. In this country, we need to stand together in order for all of us as Americans to do more than just survive, but to strive for the excellence that has been expected of us as Americans. We can turn this economy around, with a bit of hard work, prayer and determination that made us stand apart from other countries in this world. If we got back to basic morals and standards that built this country, I’m sure we can bring it back from the brink of disaster.

There are many great comments here but some really get under my skin. The anonymous comment about rich (spelled reach) white people being investigated really shows a lack of character for whomever wrote that. I am an African American citizen and I do make to much money to receive a stimulus check. Just so you know Mr. or Ms. Anonymous, white folks aren’t the only rich people in the world and those that are being investigated are being done so for good cause. Besides, if the government didn’t investigate these rich white people then others like you would whine that things weren’t being done fairly.

Please people, just because we have a black President now, don’t make things about race… this is every Americans chance to stand together as one!

If I were to receive a stimulus check I would find a family in need and buy them groceries and clothing and whatever else they needed. It may be one day that I may need help and they always say that what comes aroung goes around.

pay my taxes on my home

By: Jeni

Well…unfortunately I would have to pay down debt…we are barely surviving with two kids, a mortgage that keeps going up due to taxes, daycare every week, two car payments, credit cards, which were used for groceries and gas at $4/gal…granted its now below $2/gal but we are still hurting from before. We are usually left with less than $100 a month for food and gas to get to work. Its been hot dogs and mac and cheese for dinner every night for awhile now. Then if there were enough left over, I would pay back my childrens college funds that we drained. It wasn’t much, being one is Two and the other is only 2 months…but it would be nice to know they will be able to have something to help pay for it. We have tried for financial aid but aparently we make to much, ignoring the fact that we live paycheck to paycheck and all of our money goes to bills…ugh…I hope we get a nice stimulus package this go around. If not, we most definately will go under.

Oh and why does the government help those who refuse to work, sittin on their lazy asses collecting paychecks, when there are people out there working as much as they can, barely making it, get nothing because they “make too much”…the whole system is set up to fail.

Here is a best case scenario which would never happen…

Give each taxpayer with a gross income of say $150,000-$200,000 or less a stimulus check of $100,000. That amount would be comparable or less than what has been given to the banks & automakers. The average person would actually be able to: Pay off credit debt, pay on a mortgage, put a down payment on a property, use it as a small budsiness startup fund, put it in savings…or actually help stimulate the economy by…buying a car or buying goods! The small checks of $600 or $1200 are nice…but in the real world are of little value to stimulate an economy.

I would spend it of course! Thats what we need to do with it. Fixing this crisis we are in means we should not have bailed out huge corporations, instead, they should have distributed the 750billion throughout the families of the united states because we would have put it right back into the smaller comanies by buying CRAP! Honestly, the TRICKLE down economic plan has not worked and will not work with these a-holes paying themselves huge bonuses, while the rest of us struggle!? WHAT? UGH. Help your OWN people out AMERICAN GOVERNMENT for crying out loud! Obama, you say you know what its like to struggle, lets see a firm answer and a ridiculously LARGE stimulus check! We the people, can get us out of this rut…
