Nope. It’s taken directly from the tax tables you’d be familiar with if you had the slightest clue what you’re talking about.

- I didn’t have to pay income taxes last year…because my income came from my Military Disability benefits.
Clearly we are not talking about people in your very exceptional situation here. My condolences for the injuries that you sustained due to your own choices. They don’t justify special pleading.

- You’re Welcome.
So are you. I was a veteran, it seems, long before you were.

Maybe it's selfish people like you who shouldn't get that whopping $600.00 stimulus check. Maybe yours should donated & sent directly to your county Veterans Service Commission. Your attempt to stereotype "people who didn't pay taxes" is ugly and insulting to Disabled Veterans, older Americans on SSI/SSA & the working poor. You're helping to ensure GOP defeat in 2010 every time you parrot those words. More & more Americans are waking up and realizing that the Grand old Party is the party of self-centered jerks.

Each spending allocation in the current stimulus package is linked to current or new American Jobs. Don't believe me? - Just ask the workers at the Church & Dwight Company.

The $1 billion for the 2010 Census could make that possible. Here in Ohio, we need jobs..any jobs..period. This Spending Bill creates them....even if the projects sound oddball. The odd diversity of the projects will actually ensure job creation in multiple job categories & skill sets. It's a good thing. The next time you see a member of the GOP trashing a specific part of this package...ask yourself this, "how many jobs are attached to that at odd spending item?"

- Just ask the workers at the Church & Dwight Company. They make the condoms that could have been purchased with the now notorious STD prevention funding.
-Just ask the construction workers who could have gotten jobs building or repairing; Smithsonian museum facilities,Department of Homeland Security headquarters, CDC buildings,
State Department training facilities, etc.
-Ask the Computer salesman, retailers & Technicians who could have been paid from the computer purchases & upgrades in the stimulus Bill.
-Ask the College students you know if they’d like to earn $13.oo per hour as a temp/part-time Census employee. The $1 billion for the 2010 Census could make that possible.

You will get a number greater than one and that’s a good thing…unless you’re a Republican.

Get the country back on its feet, then start making the long-term improvements, which most of us want.

News flash: There is no quick fix, no instant gratification and no fat check coming your way. The bill is supposed to create and save jobs. Besides, it is not yet finished. This is the middle game here folks. Wait for the finished product and please read the bill and try to understand that this is for the working people. I didn't hear this much objection to Bush giving $750 billion with no strings attached to Wall St. It amazes me that poor and middleclass Republicans always vote against their own interest.
