Nine million people...

Posted on 02/19/2009 11:18:25 AM PST by djf

Nine million people are going to get a benefit that does not apply to me.

Why is that not "income"?

Some single mom slingin hash at the local greasy spoon has to declare the buck and a quarter tip you leave her. She's not getting what could add up to hundreds or possibly many, many thousands of dollars worth of largesse from the government.

Is this in any way, shape, or form, fair?

If you are making your payments, doing the right thing, you didn’t over buy a house that you knew you couldn’t afford, and you are not a Govt approved minority, and think YOU are going to get mortgage relief - - dream on. For everyone else who falls into the Obama Plan, it is “FREE STUFF!”

I think that if taxpayers have to live with this, we should get the name(s) of the people receiving aid from our tax dollars. And we’d also have the right to visit them and nag them into getting jobs and going off the dole. Like a relative they borrowed the money from would.

Yes, it’s a pipe dream.

Long past the point of caring about being responsible for me.

Rush needs to add a new line to his Club Gitmo mech. T-shirts with a pic of Obama and the line: PLEASE PAY MY MORTGAGE. THANK YOU.
