America is still hurting from the recession. Unemployment is high and the economy is not doing well. The country is just not growing fast enough to handle the large numbers of unemployed people.
People who don’t have jobs, tend not to have much money. People who don’t have much money, don’t spend much money. The economy slows down when too many people stop spending and indicators such as unemployment rates start to climb.
Find out if there will be a stimulus check in 2012.
It’s not just the unemployed who aren’t spending, many employed people have cut back on their expenses for fear that they might lose their jobs or face wage cuts.
Another problem is the real estate crash. Owning a house that has fallen in value or is under water will often make a person more careful with their spending.
Stimulus check in 2011
One solution to get people spending is another stimulus check in 2011. In 2008, the government gave out money in order to help the economy. Checks of up to $600 per person were mailed out. It’s hard to tell if that stimulus was successful or not. The economy hasn’t recovered, however the economy might be worse, had it not been for that $600 stimulus check.
The government has not announced any plans to give out stimulus check in 2011, but if the economy does not improve in the next few months then it has to be a consideration.
Recent stimulus checks
2009 – $250 stimulus check was mailed out for recipients of Social Security, SSI and others.
This stimulus check was intended to make up for the fact that the Social Security raise for 2009 was zero, because of low inflation.
2008 – $600 per adult, $300 per child.
These 2008 stimulus checks were mailed out to everyone, unless your income was too high to qualify. The idea behind these checks was to help stimulate the economy.

I am so sorry for what you’re going through, Todd. I really hope you don’t have to go back to work. It’s tragic that our rich country can’t take care of our disabled and our veterans properly. . . while there are tons of people on disability and other gov’t programs that shouldn’t be. I am praying for you all. I am in a similar situation, but fortunate enough to live with family. . my mom, sister, her husband, their two kids, my daughter, husband, and I all live together to help each other out.
i hopw we get 250.00because people on ssi should get it the ecomony is bad so i feel we should g et it it wouldnt be fair if we all dont get 250.00. i think people should get a stinulus check for 2011 Thank you
Donna cahill
I agree with you Christopher. If we were given a stimulus between $1000 and $3000 each I bet a lot of people would buy Big Screen TV’s, and other electronics, things that we can’t normally afford with out SSI Checks. They should put it in the form of a credit card. I’ve known people that have won jackpots at the casino for $1000 to $2000, people on SSI. And the first thing they buy are expensive electronics like laptops, cell phones, big screen tvs because these are items they can’t normally buy with their checks. You could buy a bunch of stuff on EBay. That would help the economy.
I think we need another stimulus check in 2011 because it will help the economy out for one thing, and also help people that is on ssi and social security since they did not get an increase in their check this year and on another hand i think the check should be more the 250.oo the more you get the better you put back in the economy. Because things out here are getting higher everyday.and the 250 dollars will help out in a big way.
I was not give the stimulus of $600 because I reside out of the U S. Hopefully this won’t be the same excuse by the U S government again? I am retired Military, pay for Medicare, unable to use outside of USA (where the charges are 85% less) must use TRICARE Standard, not free of charge. All in all, Medical fees in my area are about 15% of the amount billed to Medicare by hospitals in the USA, this is true based on the same medical procedure that I had performed in the USA and the same procedures performed outside of the USA.
In 2008, I didnot receive the $600.00 stimulus, and my granddaughter didnot receive the $3oo.oo stimulus. We only received the $250.00 stimulus each. Why does the Govt. have to be so greedy? They can give to other countries, so why can’t they help us? We are below the poverty level, but the Big Whigs don’t care about us, just the people with money. I watch C-Span. and it= a bunch of bunk. What can the poor people do> OBAMA STEP UP TO THE PLATE, HELP US, WE WOULD LIKE A GOOD BALANCED MEAL, JUST LIKE YOU AND THE REST OF THE GOVT.
i work hard last year my taxe check was just enough to catc up on my bills this is needed heavily am unemployed in need of extra help alot luckly im saved sum and stashaawy for rainny days
I AM ON SSI, DOES ANYB KNOW FOR SURE IF WE WIL GET THE STIMULUS CHECK THIS YEAR?
SEEMS ONLY FAIR SINCE WE DIDNT GET A COL INCREASE.
I HATE BEING ON DISABILITY. I HAVE BEEN ON IT SINCE 1975,
AND THEY DOMINATE EVERY MOVE.
WHEN MY SON DIED IN 2001, THEY DIDNT PAY A CENT ON HIS FUNERAL,
AND I RECENTLY DID MY SSI UPDATE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT AN INSURANCE POLICY MY PARENTS TOOK OUT ON ME BEFORE I BECAME DISAB. IT WAS A SMALL LIFE INS POLICY. SO I HAD TO SEND THEM THE POLICY AND THEY CHECKED TO SE HOW MUCH IT WAS WORTH.
I EXPLAINED THAT THIS POLICY WAS NOT MADE OUT TO ME, BUT TO MTY X HUSBAND, WHO I HAVE BEN DIVORCED FROM FOR MANY YEARS.
WHAT BUS IS IT OF THERES, THEY DIDNT PAY PREMIUMS AND ARE THEY GOING TO PAY MY FUNERAL WHEN I DIE? NO, WIL BE LUCKY TO GET THE 255 SOME PEOPLE GET.
BUT I GET A “FEW” FOOD STAMPS, AND THEY CUT THEM AND I AM SURE ITS CAUSE OF THE INSURANCE POLICY.
THE GVERNMENT DOESNT CARE ABOUT US, OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN DEALT ENOUGH CRAP, WITHOUT THEM MICROSCOPING OUR EVERY MOVE.
SEEMS IF WE HAVE BEEN DISABLED FOR HALF OUR LIVES, WITH NO EXPECTED IMPROVEMENT, WE SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO GET “PERMANENT DISABILITY” WITHOUT FEAR OF RETALIATION AND UNATTTACHED STRINGS THAT THEY CAN PULL IN IF WE DONT COMPLY.
I DRAW OFF MY DADDY WHO WORKED ALL HIS 73 YEARS, AS DID MY 5 BROTHERS AND SISTER, MY DAUGHTER.
I AM ONE OUT OF A FAMIY OF 13 WHO WAS DISABLED, THE REST WORKED AND PAID TAXES.
USA GOVERNMENT………YOU ARENT GIVING ME ANYTHING!!
MY FAMILY EARNED AND PAID IN WHAT I GET.
THANKS FOR ALLOWING ME TO VENT.
KATE
Well i still havent heard a word about the increase for all of us but i am still checking once a week out here in the world of internet. I agree with all of you as well and i think we should make a stand outside our gov’t office’s and make a statement to all of them. Because we have been stepped on and forgotten about for way too long. Thank you.
Thank You Krista and i hope all the best for you and your family. I dont have that kind of support but im doing the best that i can under these bad times for all of us. Thank you all.
The President nor House of Congress read our conments, they don’t relize how hard it is for us to live on the pennies they allow us to have. Two years now, no raise, and it will be another 2 with OBAMA in office. But we voted him in because we thought he would better our Country. All hes about is his TRIPS all over the world, he doesn’t give a damn about us. Thank you
Obama, what happened? I helped vote you into office because i thought we had finally found a president we could trust and help us. I know the same old story give the rich everything they want, but has anyone stopped to think how the U.S. begain to grow. It started way back when land was framed, cattle was raise and so fourth. what i,m saying is if it wasn’t for all us little people do you really thank the rich would have what they do today? Take us away and see who will do the work, the cleaning and so on. Thank of the food you all eat in the fancy restruants, where did it come from? I hope before it’s to late the honesty i know that lives within you, you will find someway to help us if not i ask what good does it do to even have a president just give the shovels to the republicans and let them bury whom ever they wish because their wishes are the only ones that come. I’m sorry it i offended anyone but we do have freedom of speech. (at least for now.)
We really need a stimulus. If I received a nice amount, I would certainly not be buying electronics. I would be paying to see a Dentist, and have ome teeth that are infected removed.
This would save Medicare loads of money in ER visits for pain meds and anti-biotics. I currently make monthly band-aid trips for my dental issues, since Medicare will not allow me to see an oral surgeon or Dentist to cure the problem.
COME ON WE NEED A STIMULUS CHECK FOR 2011 WE ARE ALL POOR PEOPLE WE NEED IT BAD
It brought tears to my eyes to read all of the above comments. It is so unfortunate all of the situations that we were all dealt. I couldn’t help that two out of three of my children were born with genetic disabilities, leaving them menally retarded. I couldn’t help that their father died some 15 years ago leaving me to play the mother and father role. I do not trust adult daycares (both of my babies are 18 & 20 yrs. old) so I can not work and we live off of monthly SSI checks. I wouldn’t change my life for the world. I love my children with all of my heart. Obama, I know you probably don’t read these, but just in case you do…. a little help for us underdogs would so be appriciated. I truely think that the help should be because we are honest citizens of this great country of ours who unfortunately got dealt a hand much different then those who are able to live the dream and work for their families. If “we” help each other here first, then “we” can all help everywhere else in the world. (wishful thinking) But if the reason we recieve help will just be givin to us because it will “help the economy”, then so be it. Thank you in advance. (i hope)
with all of these comments it would like the goverment would listen to all of us
i am a 26 year old mother of 3, ” a 6 yr old boy, a 4 yr old girl and also a 10 month old girl” my husband goes and works 40+ hrs a week just to pay our bills, we make to much for any kind of help, and we have 5 mouths to feed, we live in a subsidized housing and still pay 500 a month for a 2 bedroon, “yes 2 bedroom” he makes to much for a 3 bed room”, crazy i know.. but i think that we need a stimulus check because i cant get a job because we are just a couple hundred $ shy of not being able to live here, and no one will rent to us with 3 children, we are wanting to buy a house “i am not picking as long as it is a 3 bedroom” we have did a first time home buyers program here in maryland but still need to have the money in the bank for 3 months!! so if we got a stimulus check that is what we would do!! put half in bank, buy a deep freezer ” a small one” then fill it with dinner meats. i am sick and tired of skipping meals so my children dont go hungry!! i am not complaing i just hate going into a store and seeing these ppl with foodstamps and thinking i only wish i could get a lil help!!!
Will my 13 year old get ssi for his adhd will he get a stimulus check in 2011?
we need help just like everyone else.
Hey guys! I love seeing the opinions of all you guys out here on the internet… it’s awesome to be able to connect with hundreds, even thousands of people who come from extremely diverse backgrounds. I, like many of you, have experienced harsh financial struggle over the years… but as I stand back and examine the situation–while I may want the money now (and trust me, I want the money! Even need the money!) I recognize a greater need. A need for this nations economy to be restored. An old proverb says ‘Pray for your country, because when it prospers, you shall prosper”. Regardless of what faith background you come from, and whether you believe in God at all, the sole purpouse of this proverb is to cause you to think in the best interest of your country, because when its prosperity is your prosperity. $13,000,000,000,000 is alot of money… especially when you consider that we didn’t have a single one of those dollars. Maybe it’s just me, but a country that is spending money that it doesn’t have, hoping to get out of debt is a country that never will. You can’t spend your way out of debt! It’s completely illogical! The key for me is ‘patience and prayer’ (or for those from a non-faith background ‘patience and care’). Think logically about the best interest of your nation… be proud of your country. While that $5oo check looks good when you open it, you’ll find that it is the economic ‘death sentence’ for our children… as well as their children. My message… care for your country… be patient enough to see past the trivial things of today, or patient enough to look away from the $500 check… your children will one day thank you for it. Be STRONG in these troubling times… there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
Some of the comments on this site are about buying big-screen tvs, etc. with the stimulus check…..I’d like to be able to afford my prescriptions! What I’d like to see is the lawmakers being governed by the same things they enact for us…..for example, our lawmakers have a different (much better) healthcare plan than the one they think is good enough for the rest of us. Also, they vote to give themselves pay raises while they tell us Social Security will remain the same because there is no inflation. I’d like to know how they figure there is no cost of living increase when everything I pay monthly has increased substantially!
OK…..Gas s now $4.15 a gallon. People are hurting out here. Hello!!!!!
We need a stimulus check now!!!!
Extending tax breaks to the top richest was affordable. How about those of us that are living BELOW the poverty level?
My youngest son was born with Down Syndrome…I had him when I was 20 years old..he is now 4 and receives SSI due to his disability..I was curious, will he get a stimulus package??? If anyone knows please respond..I’ve been looking all over the net and nothing really gives me a straight answer!!!
Thanks!!!
WELL IT LOOKS LIKE WERE NOT GOING TO GET THE STIMULAS THIS YEAR. WITH THE RISING COSTS OF OUR BILLS AND FUEL AND RENTS AND GAS GOING UP EXCEPT OUR INCOME ITS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL. I FEEL ITS TIME I JUST GIVE UP LIKE SOCIETY HAS GIVING UP ON ALL OF US. WE ARE NOTHING ANYMORE WE JUST SIT AND WASTE AWAY AND WE CANT DO ANYHING ABOUT IT. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE WILL BE NO STIMULAS PACKAGE THIS YEAR. WE ARE ON OUR OWN. TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS TILL NEXT YEAR. LETS SEE IF WE GETA RAISE…..HOLDING MY BREATH……2 YEARS NOW WITHOUT ONE…..YEAH OK IM GONNA GO BACK TO SLEEP AND HOPE I NEVER WAKE UP .
I’m really worried about programs that are going to be cut like section 8 housing, food stamps, medicaid, and liheap. I’m worried that my rent assistance (the portion that housing pays) will get cut too much where I won’t be able to pay a higher rent. This is really a mess what the government is doing. Why do they have to target the disabled and poor people? Go after the rich, they can afford it. It just goes to show how they don’t care about us little people. We have disabilities where we can’t work and we depend on these programs to make it.
Hi i’am single mom of two boys 13 and 15 i work to jobs to make ends meat . it barley pays the bills for a two bedroom apartment . and now that the gas prices are over $4.00 a gal its kind of hard to go back in forth to work. was is this world coming when the richiest country can’t aford to feed there own but can send the money to these other countries to feed them. i think its crazy the way the goverment works and the medical care is rediculious they give theses people that have nothing wrong with them except they have a drug problem help but the people that work and have medical issues they get nothing. Hello obama we can’t spend money we don’t have !!!!!!!
I know a lot of people are hurting for money. Gas, food prices going up.
I deliver pizzas as well as my wife does. We work, we have two kids can’t get foodstamps make to much. But at same time we had to cut back on stuff. I think we all had to. But I have to ask my self how bad are you hurting if you have access to the internet.
We are really hurting, because of the price of gas to drive to the local library, and have access to the internet there, doctors appointments, grocery shopping etc. We need a stimulus check……Please!
Hello. We feel the crunch badly on how worse the economic has gotten those republicans don’t caare about nobody but themselves. I feel that we do need a nice size stimulus, especially how high gas is and hard working people such as myself can’t receive food stamps or any public assistant. Each family could use a $2000 stimulus to help bounce back in this messed up inflation.
i get ssi and i have two kids and they cut my foods stamps two a 130 dollers and i pay 575 rent come on now. this ant right u help others over in other counters wat a bout ur own there r people starven here kids cryin caues they r hunger i think we desever that mony any one on ssi does and even people that work does dont u pople have a heart wat about thing u promesd when u was runing for offies or did u lie and now people like me and others have to pay the price . there r days and nights iam so sick and week caues i cant eat . so i can make sure there is a nuff food 4 my babys so pliz i am on my hands and needs help ur people we need this pliz pliz god let this happen pliz
My husband is legally blind and goes out there every week to work sometimes over 40 hours a week to make sure rent is paid and a meal is on the table and that sometimes does not come by everyday. i remember getting a stimulus check and it helped me with the kids clothes and school supplies to go to school. i have 1 in middle school,1 in high school,1 in colleges(which we both had to take out loans to complete the college fee) and i myself go to school for my GED. it is very hard for us and i don’t want to by any appliances. i just want to get help and the stimulus check would help us. I pray that they send these checks again and it would help not only my family but alot of people out here to get and do things they can afford now. PLEASE HELP US, APPROVE THE STIMULUS CHECKS.
YOU SAY THE AVERAGE SS CHECK IS OVER $1100. WHY IS IT THAT I ONLY RECEIVE $600??? HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHY I GET SO LITTLE????
i only get $300, half of what i should be getting. because i’m married and living with my spouse i only get half. i hear a lot that others get $1100 or more a month too, but, i called the ss office to find out why and i was told it’s because i didn’t make enough money to collect anything more than what i get. what kind of ” frigging ” answer is that. i would like the government to live on what we have to live on. and we lost a little more than $100 of our food stamps when we got rid of our house because we couldn’t afford to keep it. we still have to pay the bills we had from the house that we got back on. and plus we are paying our bills for our new apartment. i hate hearing about the raises the senate gets and how the governor is getting a raise. it really makes me sick to my stomach when we are going to food pantries because we run out of money and food stamps in the middle of the month, because the cost of food is on the rise and our food stamps are on the drops. what is this world coming to, to let its people go with out and certain people get raises and are eating steaks on $300 plates. i’m not saying all the senate doesn’t care just a few.
That’s ok, no raise, no stimulus check, no help no nothing, bt we can give hug ums to a country that has demonstrated to be untrustworthy, Pakistan $2 billion just recently, more to some European country n which I unfortunately have to live in, we even contribute aid Egypt who is in a rebellion.
Man, and to think I served to protect America ding the Korean war and now I get it right up…………….
Yeah, the average SSI check is $1100 but alot of us get way less. Don’t feel bad, I only get 674, but when I first got on it I was only getting 520 or something. So basically ss says since we had sucky jobs that didn’t pay enough, we don’t get that much when we become disabled because we didn’t pay enough into social security. It gets really rough when you don’t have enough to eat or pay the utilities and rent, and on top of that having to deal with your disabilities (illnesses). We need that stimulis bad.
I wish they would give the stimulus check this year, my children and I are almost homeless no food it’s hard out here my job cut my hours but hired new employees everyone was so happy to get obama in office because all these changes he promised just like every other president he LIED I could not stand bush at least he gave us the stimulus president Obama needs to step up for us little people and help us I bet behind closed doors he says it’s our fault we are here and we should have better education well I went to college still no job in my field or should I not have children or just work with no roof over our heads what do you want from us because I know what we all need from you HELP so stop lying and smiling in our faces and do something stop helping other countries and help your own
you know I have been sick all of my life and only once recived $250.00 now I’m older and much sicker and am in need of that ck. Step up and do one thing right for the disabled sick and old.
The 2008 stimulus check didn’t work in my case to help stimulate the economy. That money went into savings…and so would another one. Go ahead and send me another $600 of free money. I will gladly take it!
Hello All,
It is easy for all of us to sit here and play the blame game but that is not going to help the economy and it is not going to help us. The president can only do so much and we are all expecting a miracle from him this mess was created over years and not even by the man we are bashing. If you helped to vote him in office hopefull it was for a reason, that you believed in what he had to say. I know that is why I voted for him, we need to first off give our president a chance and believe in him as much as we believed in the men that came before him that got us into this mess. Just like it took years to make this mess it will take years to clean it up. Do I agree that we should get another stimulus check, yes definitely we need it we are suffering and we do need the goverment to step in and help us. But I also know that it is easy for us to talk about what needs to be done and think that it is easy, but we have never had the job of being the president before so we don’t really know what that position is like. In a perfect world it would be an easy solution to all of our problems something that eveyone could agree upon with out all of the divide with our goverment. We trust in the goverment to do the right thing on our behalf but right now it seems like they are doing more fighting and trying to pick aside rather than coming together and helping out the American people.Wih that being said we all need to look to one another for help. If we could come together despite differences and personal feelings we could make a change. We could ban together write over goverment officials attend local meetings send letters protest whatever we have to do. I look forward to living in a country that can settle there differences and make good decisions on the welfare for all of us as a whole.
i have 5 kids 2 that are deaf our home burnt 2 years ago and my self and my husband are diabled he gets ssi as well as my 2 children i have been fighting mine for 4 years and the stimulus from 2009 helped us out dramaticaly i was able to shop smart and buy my kids everything for school that they needed and i didnt have a dime that i spent on stupid un needed things we struggle so hard and our bills we cant keep up with.. that would be great if they did that again this year yes i know its a risk to do it again because alot of ppl that get public asst. and or foodstamps spend it on drugs alcholo etc. thats why its a great idea to drug test ppl that apply for help like that but as for the ones that need the help we get jipped in everyway… im tryng to build my home before this winter by ourselves with nooo help and struggle we didnt have insurance and i have turned everywhere for help and i feel that this state is letting me down beacuse someone stole my identity and decided to ruin my credit and they got away with it….. PLEASE HELP this isnt a calling its called begging
WELL IF WE DID’NT GET IT BY NOW THERE’S NO POINT IN ASKING, LET ALONE BEGGING…..BETTER LUCK TO ALL OF US NEXT YEAR……NOT HOLDING MY BREATH……..WANT TO BE LET DOWN AGAIN SO I WILL WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR TO HOLD MY BREATH…….
iam kim cantrell yes i do believe we all need a stimulus check this year is because the cost of living has gone up and i need the extra iam single with no kids but the check can work out for me my check is still the same every year because it has not went up every year i sure can use it thanks kim cantrel
We are going into a spiral of bad times and it is evident that everyone is going through a tough time. It is so obvious that we need a stimulus check sent out to the people. A lump sum would help all. I hope that our president does the right thing and sends out emergency payments before thanksgiving. How can they feast with everyone hurting. I hope that they do something now 2011!
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF WE ARE GOING TO GET A STIMULAS CHECK ANYWAYS SOON WE NEED IT BAD
I would just like to pay my bills. I lost my job at the begining of summer and can’t seem to find another job. I have 3 associates degrees and a bachelors and all they are doing is collecting dust. I have 3 kids I raise completely alone and one of my children is special needs so if it was not for her SSI my kids and I would be homeless. Welfare doesn’t pay much to keep the bills paid. I feel like a failure as a mother because I can not seem to move up in this world. I wish there was a stimulus this year. I lost my rent and car payment money and idk what to do! I have bill collecters blowing up my phone and then bothering to ask how I pay my cell phone bill. well its my only phone….duh so i have to pay it. I heard the other day on the news that supplies and/or money I cannot remember which was being sent to other countries? um hello? why is our country worried about other countries when we are supposedly in a debt? we should come first… I really dont think those other countries put our country before theirs….. we need to take care of our own before taking care of others.
another comment. I have seen questions being asked on if some of us are so broke how do we have internet? idk how anyone else gets there. but my home phone bill is a whopping $5 a month…minimal service. it is only used for my internet. which is thru juno and is only $15 a month. so $20 gets me the internet. thats do-able. but when my landlord wont fix my heater so I have to use electric heaters my electric goes sky high. when anything breaks I have to pay for it and then after things gets fixed its my job to get rid of their trash. i have 4 broken windows in my house. none of which we broke… and I have to figure out how to pay that. I had a water leak for over a year my landlord finally fixed cux my water bill for one month was over $100…. when its never been over 50. and the worse part of it all…. my moms husband is my landlord…my propertys total value is just 5,000 and I have lived here for 9 years. I could have owned this place several times.
Jennifer, I understand what your going thru. I was thinking since you have a special needs child, there are programs like “Evercare” and “Amerigroup” where you can get paid to be someone’s caregiver. You could get paid to take care of your child. You could check into it to see if you’re eligible. Good luck to you.
I just want to say and I hope that I’m not offending anyone. I helped vote Obama into office and I will be voting for him again next election. It’s not him who’s hurting the country. The Republicans would like for you to believe that but it’s them. They are the ones who got the economomy in the state that it’s in and they are the ones who want to keep it there. The presidential election is a big deal but the smaller elections are even bigger. The Democrats DID NOT come out and vote for the House of Representatives. The Republicans showed up and took over. He needs help and he’s not getting any from them. They say NO to everything that is going to help us. So if you didn’t go out and vote for that election shame on you. You certainly shouldn’t be sitting around upset and pouting now. I’m not saying that any of you did it. I’m just saying that he needs help. The disrepect towards him and the damn tea party is out of control (where in the hell did they come from) never existed before. They need to go somewhere and be quiet. He is not the enemy. He is fighting the best he can but we as a people have to do our part and get the help in there that a good president needs. Again, I apologize if anyone is offended but the truth is the truth.
Are we going to get a stimulus Check in 2011? As for my husband and we are on S.S. and we are struggling to get by every momth. We did not get a raise on our 2010 S.S. checks. So that set us back because we now have large hospital bills and doctor bills that we are trying to pay along with a small mortage payment.
By the time we pay our monthly bills there is no money left for for food. If we were not getting a free meal everyday I do not know what we would do.
A stimulus check before the end of the year would be a big help. By the looks of things Christmas will be a bust for us. Because what money weget will be going to pay medical bills, water, power and gas. Once those bills are paid our checks are gone. That is why I was asking the Question.
I would like to know what to exspect.
I really have to wonder where the money is going from all the medicare-medicaid cuts. I have diabetes,inject insulin,and have tried to get the insulin pump twice now,to no avail. I have seen notices posted on doctors windows”we do not accept medicare or medicaid”. No doctor wants medicare patients,and if one can get an appointment,that person has to sit for hours,the doctor hoping they will get tired of waiting and leave. I personally have witnessed this. In order to get the insulin pump a doctor has to give their consent,which,being on medicare-medicaid,they will not do so. Seniors are treated like trash,so sad. I never vote,as all politicians are liars,and all they care about is taking away from the downtrodden to keep fattening their wallets. So this is america!
WELL FLO, IF WE HAVE NOT RECIEVED IT BY NOW, DONT EXPECT ANY HELP THIS YEAR, I AM ON SSI MYSELF AND FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS NO RAISE ON THE BENIFITS, I FEEL WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH BECAUSE I CANT EVEN PAY MY ELECTRIC BILLS AS WELL, I HAVE THE HRA….HUMAN RESOURCE ASSOCIATION TO HELP PAY FOR IT SINCE I CANT EVEN MAKE THOSE PAYMENTS…..ITS SAD THAT THE GOVT IS NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO US AND IT’S UNFAIR…..IM LOOKING AT ANOTHER YEAR WITHOUT COLA……THAT COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT….FOR THE COMING YEAR…..ANOTHER LONG YEAR TO BIT MY NAILS AND PRAY I DONT HAVE TO GO BACK TO WORK AS MUCH AS I DO WANT TO , MY DOCTORS ADVISE AGAINST IT…..SO HERE WE GO AGAIN, ANOTHER YEAR WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM OUR OWN GOVT……ANOTHER CHRISTMAS APPROACHING AND ALL ALONE HERE AS WELL…….TAKE CARE…..
