Social Security Recipients get a 'stimulus check'.

Yep. Congress and Our Great and Glorious Revolutionary Leader Obama have decided those of us who receive Social Security, the vast majority of whom are on tight and fixed low incomes, WILL receive a whole whalloping $250!!! Yep. The people who, arguably, most NEED help during this economic crisis, get just a "bit" more than bupkis!

In the mean time, those who need the help the least, the major banks, the mortgage brokers, the various Wall Street firms, the Big Three US automobile manufacturers - and let us not forget all those soon-to-be-giftees, the pork-barrel "ready-to-go" construction projects - get a HUGE amount of money. Oink! Oink!

Folks, we are in a JAM here. We need the government to either do the RIGHT thing or GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY! And we come to discover that Obama's shoving same-old, same-old, worn-out (positively ANCIENT as the basic ideas come from that has-been hack economist, Keynes) policies from the New Deal.

You know, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the Mormons) has this preparedness program that includes such things as setting up a food-storage system whereby a family 'banks' 30, 60 or 90 (optimal) days of bullk food in a room or part of the garage. Maybe it's time for the average family to set something like this up, hmmm?
