Did I hear this correctly? Seniors on SS will get only a $300.00

[yy4me]

incentive check? Geeze, I guess the government really can't wait for us old timers to kick off. Why are we not included in the $600.00 category like the rest of the population? This stinks, if I may say so! Who the heck does the government think supported this country these last 65 years?

1. Yeah, but we're just useless eaters now. We're lucky these corporate tycoons let us live at all.

Besides, if I had $600, I'd just waste it at the dentist's getting a broken tooth fixed.

2. Bush probably needs to save some more $$$...

for businesses like Halliburton.:eyes:

3. I think (hope) anyway....

that this $300 is for seniors who do not pay income tax so that they will be eligible for a rebate or check for the $300 since they would have been left out completely without this provision.

4. They already got a big 2.3% SS cola for 2008 beside their median income is already around $17,000.

They can't use it while sitting in a dark, cold room, hungary and not being able to cover medical expenses. Give it to someone who really needs it to piss away at Wally's World. Fuck the ruling class.

6. If they would cut off the 100,000 bunch they would have enough

to give seniors...bush didn't want to give seniors anything.
