So, I am out and about and I randomly hear conversations while standing in line about some Individuals not understanding where they fit into this equation of the Economic Stimulus Bill that President Obama signed on Tuesday, February 17, 2009. I especially hear the Elderly conversing about them having to tap into their savings to make ends meet. They are paying more money for health care and prescription costs. Yet, they aren’t receiving an increase in their fixed incomes. Some Elderly couples income are too much to receive assistance, but not enough to fully make ends meet; some are even having to apply for Food Stamps for the first time in their lives.

If you are Elderly, Disabled, or considered to be living in Poverty as more than 37 million and counting Americans are you will be happy to know that…….

President Obama allotted billions to help aid the Poverished during these times ! I have created a small list below to describe some of what this plan includes for the poor:

• Depending upon the State that you reside in, more funds for TANF( Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) will be available, because he allotted $3 billion dollars in Emergency Funds! ( LIKE SOME INDIVIDUALS NEED MORE MOTIVATION NOT TO LOOK FOR A JOB!!!!)
• If you lost your job and could no longer afford health benefits or just NEVER had a job , have no fear, $87 Billion Dollars was allotted for Medicaid! ….And you mean to tell me that some Elderly people who had no choice but to work and was highly illiterate have to pinch pennies by no choice of their own (some of them)  when some Bomquisha’s pinch pennies to go get her HERR did and to park a Lexxus in front of a housing project? What is wrong with that pic?
• Most Bomquisha’s Individuals that receive Food Stamps will get more to sell!!!
• Supplemental Income recipients (Disabled and Elderly) will receive a ONE time payment of $250 while Bomquisha’s continue to get $241 per child TanF!
• If you are receiving unemployment or may receive it in the near future, your benefits will be extended, oh, and you get a $25.00 per week increase! When you go to file your taxes in 2009, the first $2400 of that money will not be taxed.
  
• There will be an expansion of Earned Income Credit (EIC), a new refundable tax credit for workers, and the Child Tax Credit.

I really have nothing against Individuals that need help, but for those that take advantage of the system…..WE PAY FOR IT, the one’s who make too much to qualify, but too little to belong.
