Have you all heard that they are discussing an economic stimulus package that includes an $800 for singles and $1600 for married couples, to pump money back into the economy.

Any one have any updates on this?

I hope we get this money, I have read a few articles on it. I just read on yahoo news that they want it to happen very quickly, I hope so, it would be nice to get a little extra money to put toward the bills. I am watching this closely too erb. Please update what you find out here and I will too.

I actually wrote a post about this on the debt forum today, we are trying to gather as much information as possible. It sounds like it will be a go, I sure hope so, it will be nice to pay off a little bill and put some away for a rainy day. I hear that if it happens it will be pretty quick, they want to get the money pumped back into the economy, I know that it sure will help a lot of people out with mortgage payments and other bills that have been stacking up because of the high fuel bills this winter. It would be great to get it along with the income taxes or right around the same time frame. Anyway, if I find out anything that has not been posted here, I will be sure to come here and let you know. Hopefully with all of us watching we can stay up to date on this.

I hear you on the high fuel bills they are just ridiculous this year, and they say it will get worse. I will be glad when winter is over. I will certainly keep the post updated when I hear something new, thank you for being another set of eyes.

It is crazy, I have cut my running in half because of this, I usually go out and do a lot in the community, but I have to them that I would help out every other week now, can not afford to keep putting gas in my car. Besides there are a lot of people with in walking distance that can go in and help out. I am an extra hand and was doing it primarily to stay involved in the community, I can still do that but on a limited basis. If they need me they know they can call on me anytime.

Is there a link somewhere we can go and read about this? I would like to see it in writing myself.

There was something on one of the other forums that if you go to www.yahoo.com and look in the news, but I found it by just putting economic stimulus package in the googel search engine, you will definately find it there.

I just googled it and here is the sum of it. I read several articles on it.Does sound like it will become a reality though.....here is a direct quote on the subject....Unfortunately it's unclear right now if or when those checks will get here.

I found this video on this subject matter on you tube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INs3iJofBGU

it explains the whole package, I did not get to listen to it yet, but thought you guys here would like to view it for a more detailed explanation.

when i see it ill believe it they did that a few years ago and it came down to low income who already get all the breaks. i think i didnt qualify because i had rentals and they were considered side line business, so i wasnt elgible. it would be nice but i never could understand the standards on this issue. im not rich but im not poor either seems i always fall in the gap.
