I kind of like getting 250. at least I can pay something down which can’t be done with an extra 10-11 dollars a month. Anybody know when we can expect the check?

Now, come on everyone. We shouldnt complain about the $250. After all, they had to find the money somewhere for the raises all the politicians got that help with the great decision making of taking care of their seniors. Its a shame they dont fall under the same catagories as the rest of the seniors in the real world.

To those, articals that, refer to, whether, God exists? Yes, the God, you are, refering to, does exist. Except that He/She, over extended, Her/Himself, and created, a muiti, multi, universe, situation. He/She, is maxed out, dealing with these, millions and millions of maxi-universe’s, out there. She/He is totally, Spaced-Out (no pun intended),dealing with all, the complaints, reguest, and maintainance, leaving, this, coming of age, minor planet, to it’s own, preservation. Much like, you have to do, when you have, several children. You teach them, the best you can, and what you can. They are not perfect. But, usually at, a, certain point, they are, on, their own. You can, only, hope, for the best. So try,very, very, hard, to do, your best. And, Remember to, always, try to, keep in touch, with yourself. And, most of all, remember, you are, forever, in, (His/Her), thoughts.

Please know that this SSI problem need not be at all. It's the Health Insurance,smoke and mirrors thing,that cause problems. Why pay an insurance company anywhere from $7,000. to $15,000. a year to pay your medical bills, especially like some people who haven't been for medical treatment for 10 years or more. If Hospitals were Incorperated and people bought shares in Hospitals instead of blowing money to the wind with Insurance Companies, when medical treatment was needed they could cash in their shares, accordingly. At retirement when Medicare kicks in, they would own valuable shares,not worthless Insurance. They could cash in their shares,if finantially needed, or pass them on in their Will. One could borrow against their shares for a House, car, vacation, etc.. Dr.visits could be paid through shares or out of pocket, YOU'll have the money. Resoprosity would kick in, when you move. There would be no cancellations, and back up Insurance could be purchased, if you felt the need. All your wasted Insurance money would support Hospitals, Doctors and, especially You. s

My husband and I are on SSI disability. He has End Stage Renal Desease and I have a list of health problems and one being Kidney problems. And we are thankful for what little we get. We have moved 4 times in 3 months and with rent and deposits, lights, gas and water,ect.. Then our truck broke down, it’s hard to get by anymore and I have a feeling it’s going to get harder still. Now I have to worry how I’m gonna get money for my husband to get back and fourth to Dialisys on the bus. But like I tell him God hasn’t let us down yet and he will provide us with what we need to get by. And every little bit helps. But Obama promised not to raise taxes and wouldn’t touch medicare and look what they are doing now. What a government we have, now they are trying to tell us what to do with our money? I don’t understand how we have gotten this far before all this happened. We don’t get much, and everything is on hold,I tell the companies take a # and stand in line like everyone else. Sorry we have to live this way. Thanks for listening.

Here’s the scoop on two fronts:
1. Obama didn’t take away or freeze anything. In 1975 it was decided that when the cost of living index goes down, social security and disability cost of living raises will not be given.

2. No one can prove there is a god, and no one can prove that there is not. There is no proof—only evidence and the evidence that a person accepts as more convincing than another depends upon a whole list of psychological and experiential stuff. Basically, we believe what makes us feel good, feel comfortable, and like ourselves more. We chose the evidence that resonates with our own life experiences and there are sinners and saints in both camps. Be nice to each other.

It was rported that we are not getting a raise because the price of gas has gone down. Last week here in Va. it was 2.19 and now it’s 2.45. That does not sound like it’s going down. And about the $250. I’m assuming we will get that next year. If it’s passed. Looks like i will be eating ramen soup 3 or 4 days a week. Great for my blood pressure.

I read here – http://www.savingtoinvest.com/2009/10/extra-250-for-social-security.html – that Obama is extending the SS payment into 2010. Has this been confirmed and when can I expect payment? I really need all the help I can get.
