The way I see it, a second stimulus probally would be benefical, but isnt spending money we really don’t have the reason we are in this mess. The whole foreclosure issue is a double edge sword because both parties are responsible. The reasons as to why foreclusure happnes is extensive. Instead of charging PMI insurance on homes that only covers the banks; why not have some sort of insurance factoried in to where both parties are not at a loss. The banks get their money and the people can keep their homes.

I am married and have a small child. I lost my job as a CNA and my husband was injured causing me to loose my job because i had to stay home and take care of him. I feel that everyone in need should get a second stimulus check. I am not a homeowner but i face the same challenges as everyone else. It is hard with me not working and my husband gets SSD now but that is not enough for us to survive off of. I can’t even qualify for foodstamps. So I am upset because we as people need this help badly. I dont want to loose the little bit that i do have because of the economy.

Look at the facts people, look at history. We are heading directly for another stock market crash and another depression. Our govt cares more about bailing out GM than it does helping the people. Why? Because their pockets get fatter that way. They only care about what benefits them the most. Go watch how many envelopes are passed by lobbyist to our law makers and you will understand everything. If something is not done soon it will be too late. Our country will revolt against its own govt and we will be in turmoil

The thought of our tax dollars going out to different countries realy upsets me because there are so many people that need our help here in the U.S.A., Yes I would like to have a second stimulous check package, but the thought of it going to the deficite is a bad thing, it is high enough, thanks to the war that has been going on. I hope and pray that Obama can get us out of this mess that we are in. I blame the gov’t for the problems we have today, it may have not gotten like this if it wasn’t for the unfair trade act.

I think it important that the goverment help all those who make less then 250,ooo a year those familys need it more then any one else. We
we all work hard, and we all make mistakes, So what if they tried to buy better houses and cars. These familys are lost there JOBS, because of the economy. Not because there lazy they want to work. The goverment should help be fore its to late.

I think that the government needs to stop predatory lending and let the people who face forclosure deal with their own mess. Unfortunately if they had paid attention to what they were signing they would have known this was inevitable. I think that the government should do more to help the people who are low income and can’t even afford to buy a house in the first place. I am in favor of making refinance options available to these people, but I am not in favor of a “bail out”. Look how well it worked for those multi-billion dollar companies…… oh wait, it didn’t work at all. As far as Iraq goes I too have a brother who has made his career in the military and he stands behind our efforts. He has been there. If he believes in it, so do I. And I most certainly believe that if we were not over there they would be over here!

I work hard everyday and it is hard for me to make ends meet. I dont think people are losing their home because of poor choices it is because of all the rich people that are getting richer off of the poor hard working people that are just trying to survive and keep a roof over their heads the lawmakers need to get off of their behinds and pass another stimulus package to help the ones that are out here everyday busting their buts just to keep the rich to get richer and here I am getting futher and futher behind because things are getting higher and my wages are going up. There is something that needs to be done now or we hard working American are going to lose everything that we hoped to leave to a children and grandchildren. WAKE UP PEOPLE AND THE CONGRESS AND REPERSENTATIVES AND SENATORS AND DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

I say bring on the second stimulus package and do it quickly! I’m tired of the 6-figure income tier getting all of the breaks and I’m thrilled that Obama is President Elect…now we will ALL have a chance! I am in an excellent income bracket and I still get hammered…I’m over it! I’m over seeing middle-class people slowly lose all they have worked so hard for and I’m over seeing upper-class people continue to thrive in this market. YES WE CAN!!!
