3. First it might be $600. Then $350 now $250 was decided because the economists in DC

said to the Obama admin. that Seniors after all have their homes generally paid for and they have annuities, stocks, bonds and retirement income they have saved for. They say they should not get any stimulus and then decided on the one time $250. Where is my $600. I am a senior on a fixed income. I rent, have not stocks, bonds, retirement savings, equity, assets, etc. And there are millions more like me. They must only knwow well off seniors and certainly are not aware that many seniors are barely making it. The working class those 95% that I do not fit into because I am a senior will get their tax cuts next year too and on and on. The seniors may not have to pay taxes on their SS later on but I could sure use the money that the other 95% is getting. It must be in that 5% that a very tiny percent is not rich and are as I said left out to dry and old.

5. There will be a BIG payback from the seniors

On the coming elections. We will remember how we are treated. I have the feeling that they would like to put us in cattle cars and ship us off to extermination camps.
