In todays economy you can use your ocd to make some money online. I go to http://cashcrate.com/ Just do a bunch of surveys and offers. You can make pretty good money especially when you are obsessive about it. You may want to setup a separate email so you don’t get too much spam. Its legit and you don’t have to pay anything.

I think that the bill to give out the stimulus checks would be great. The way that things are going now it’s hard for anyone to make it even if they have a good paying job. Gas prices have went up cost of living is up. WE NEED THE BILL TO PASS.

I agree! The government should be giving the people “THAT NEED IT” bigger stimulus checks. We aren’t asking for a handout to go shopping for designer clothes but pay bills. The government got us in this mess they really need to help the little people get out of it. Jobs are going left and right, and those of us who are lucky enough to still have a job can’t get a raise cause our employers aren’t profiting what they should. I have a husband who works 10-12 hours a day 6 days a week who hasn’t had a raise in 6 years, and I feel I have to work every second I can just so we can get by, On top of that we have 2 kids. We should be spending that time with our family, not having to work 50-60 hours a week to just get by. I’m sure all of us little people are sick of JUST GETTING BY!!

Dianne, I also agree with you. I am currently attending college and just keep going further in debt with having to purchase books, pay for tuition, paying for gas, buying food, etc., etc., etc. That list goes on and on. I could get a job that pays $15.00/hour and still be cutting it. My mom lives in a 113 year old house and her and her husband both have full time jobs and take as much over time as possible and still live paycheck to paycheck. Why not help only the needy and give them a little more and then the “stimulus” check which is supposed to stimulate the economy maybe would stimulate the economy a little more sowe could fix our house, get a better car that doesn’t break down on us, or buy some cloths from the economy instead of going to garage sales!

I agree also with Dianne. America needs to start worring more about the workin people than the rich. After all isn’t it working people that is the foundation of this country. The rich cant get rich without us. People arnt gonna spend that money if they are loosing thier homes or thier children needs to be fed. They will use it to survive.

No Diane, you are not the only person this makes sense to. I whole heartedly agree with you. After having been UNEMPLOYED for TEN MONTHS, I can use the stimulus, however $600 will hardly put a dent in my debt. How about a bail out for those of us who need it….not Wall Street!!

I totally agree with you. What about the people that work everday and barely have enough money to pay for the necessities not the wants of their children!! But yet the government will bail out these huge corporations!! Go figure. Put the money in the pockets of the citizens so the economy can be revived!!

I am just a Christian, Arkansas mom, who works in an office that helps people at or below poverty level. And while I have been blessed that I am above that, it's not that much. If the foundation of your house is broken, you don't put on a new roof. Same thing going on here. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Put some REAL money, not a $600 check, into the working people pockets and watch how fast things improve. If we had the money, not Wall street or people already making millions a year, we could buy cars, pay for our houses, stimulate the economy. Am I the only person this makes sense to? Because nobody in the government seems to understand it. Dianne Billingss last blog post..2009

I fear most of this money will simply line the pockets of the wealthy….earmarks will abound….there is no doubt about that! I love the suggestion of giving each American 100,000! That would stimulate the economy for sure!
