WE AS AMERICANS NEED TO STAND TOGETHER AND GIVE THIS PRESIDENT A CHANCE TO DO WHAT HE CAN FOR THIS COUNTRY. I BELIEVE IF PRESIDENT OBAMA, WHO WALKED INTO A MESS IN THE WHITEHOUSE WHEN HE TOOK OVER THE PRESIDENCY, HAD NOT DONE WHAT HE HAS, THIS COUNTRY WOULD NOW BE IN A DEPRESSION. WE REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW BAD OFF THIS COUNTRY WAS. BECAUSE HE IS BLACK, HE HAS BEEN WATCH AND TESTED GREATLY, LIKE NO OTHER PRESIDENT I KNOW. HE HAS TRY TO HELP US WITH THE STIMULUS PACKAGE, AND WITH SOCIAL SECURITY, GIVE HIM TIME. HE WAS PUT IN BY GOD AND HE WILL BRING THIS COUNTRY BACK TO ITS GREATNESS.

Looks loke I will be casting my vote differently in the next Presidential election. Have always been a huge supporter of the

democratic Party, but have never known them to vote against the middle class or lower income people, but now I have. We have control of the House and Senate so cannot blame the other party.

Yes...About 1/4 of all recipients will pay a larger Medicare Part B premium (possibly as high as $119/mo versus the $96/mo currently paid). This will affect recipients who became eligible for Medicare Part B AFTER November, 2009. It will also affect people who pay Medicare directly now because they have opted out of receiving their Social Security at the present time. And, it will also affect State governments who are responsible for the Medicaid Premium Assistance programs. I'm not sure how the individual states propose handling the added costs.

How is a senior supposed to make ends meet? Costs of fuel, food, utilities, and rent all increase, but our checks decrease! Go figure!

Change is coming - Yes we can! Isn't that what we were told when Obama was campaigning? I believe it was. The truth is we have no change and there is no change coming. Yes we can! Yes, we can - we can kick their asses out of there come next election. I voted Democrat this past election, probably like most because we detested Bush so much. Come next election, I'm going back to the Republicans. There has got to be someone, somewhere that is not crooked, looking out for their own and padding the pockets of those who they think can help them next election! How do you think our senior citizens who are trying to live on SS alone think about the stimulus that was GIVEN to Wall Street, the banks and the car manufacturers? Will they forget it come next election. Hell no they won't. We will clean the house again next election, change our sweeper bags and start all over again. For now, we have to sit back and suck up the dirt from Pelosi and Obama and their buds.

Because the PORTIONs have decreased and the price seem to stay put, this DOES NOT mean cost of living should not be up some what.

My, my we are NOT, I repeat, are NOT plants out here. We do know how to think.

I for one say it is time for a HOUSE cleaning.White House to the Dog house, TIME FOR A CHANGE.

is my math wrong, my mother gets $ 740 in Social security it is suppose to be increased about 6 % for 2010, so instead of $ 45 a month = $ 540 a year she is suppose to get $ 250, and just how is that suppose to help her with her bills,

hey i have an idea i'll give every social security receipient out there $ 250 a year and you can give me $ 45 dollars a month,

let me know if you want to do it ?
