If I have a Military retirement, a Civil Service retirement, and collect Social Security, will I get the $250.00 in each area or just one?

Just where does Mr. Celebrity think this money will come from? Oh yeah, he can just print some more. Or he can borrow some more from PRC. Is he trying to paint America red - in more than one way??????????????

Haha!! Yes, get the printing presses ready! Who cares about the deficit? I don't really need the "stimulus" check of $250, so if I get it, I think I'll join the NRA and donate the rest to a pro-life group! Thanks Obama! LOL!!!

Nice try

If it weren't so pathetic it might be funny. We see a net increase in costs across the board...fuel, utilities, food..you name it, and we end up with an "emergency payment" of $250? I think I'll spend mine all in one place...the fuel pump. It may even get me 20 gallons of gas.

Why?

Why? If the formula we used last year was good enough when we got a very nice COLA why is it not good enough when no increase is applicable? Why spend an extra $13 Billion for feel good purposes? Our government needs to reevulate how it is spending our money so that one day we can once again at least say we are "breaking even." This $13 Billion will not create or save jobs, does not have a pay back provision and will merely add to our growing debt level.

Please send your $250 to my 82 yr. mother or some other deserving senior in your area living only on SS.

I promse, she will spend it wisely on prescriptions, bus pass, the winter heat bills or a few dinners out with remaining friends and thereby help those in low paid min. wage jobs too. i.e., pay it forward, you obviously dont need it.

HR Manager, you are correct. Sorry GEO FED, but why don't you send her 250.00 of your own dollars? Oh I know why. It is easier to use Hussein's credit card that taxpayers can pay off.
