It’s always nice to get x-tra money when ya need it, BUT if it sounds too good to be true then it IS!! Me n hubby are both retired n had to pay SOME back not all BUT had I known that was the case I would have sent it back….It didn’t solve anything for us!! Just created MORE headache!!

Bobbi, if you were asleep then we all were because none of us had any idea it would be taken back. Like Brian said a few posts above, it wasn’t even a loan…..we were robbed!

I’m really confused over the $250 “stimulus”. It has now served to stimulate feelings of being duped.

Was I asleep at the wheel and missed the part it was an “interest free loan” versus a gift?

Wasn’t that Obama’s promise during the campaign? Change??? Maybe he should’ve specified that it would be change for the worse and not better.

Goodmorning!!!
Well I know that Obama doesn’t care if we have a raise or not “as he has money and doesn’t have to wonder what he is eating for his meal nor does he care if we HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE HE HAS HIS NICE BIG
Mansion and as long as he has money or food and a place he can sleep
why worry about us!!!!!

I hope that we get something as I have to move again.

Keep me posted on new information.

Have good day and GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Friend’s

Very good point, Brian. I haven’t even told my husband about it yet. He’s on the road and I know he’s going to be really mad and I’d rather he throw a fit at home and not while he’s driving an 18 wheeler!

How long til the next election…………………

Kathy come on now…think about it…it wasn’t even a loan. They gave you 250.00 (which you didn’t ask for in the first place). You probably did the same thing with the extra money (that you wouldn’t usually have) that most people did. You spent it. Now they turn around and take 250.00 OF YOUR MONEY back? No Kathy…that wasn’t a loan…you were robbed…we all were.
