If you are looking to get a 2010 stimulus rebate or check from President Obama and the government, you should know that it is unlikely that you will get one. Everyone still remembers the stimulus check they got from Bush and wonders why they aren't getting one from Obama.
The Obama stimulus act was huge (787 billion dollars) but none of that was put aside for checks to be sent to people. Bush sent out checks to get people to spend money and get the economy going. He could do that because unemployment was still reasonably low, especially compared with today.
In 2010, there will still be 10% unemployment and companies are not hiring. There is a job crisis in this country and Obama is sending all the stimulus rebate grants and money to businesses, state governments, and local governments.
There will be no checks going out in the mail to people and instead there will be some tax credits they can take advantage of. These tax credits are not much consolation though to people who need money and need it now. If you are one of those saying "I need a job now" or "I need money now", the tax breaks aren't going to help you put food on the table.
2010 stimulus rebate checks may not be in the mail next year so it is time to buckle your belt and stretch the dollars you do have. Get out and keep looking for a job if you don't have one because Obama and his administration have their own problems they are trying to figure out how to solve.
THE OBAMA STIMULUS ACT - WHAT A MESS!
It seems the 787 billion Obama stimulus act is causing all sorts of problems, many of which were never anticipated. This article from MSNBC discusses how many state and local governments have turned down (or tried to turn down) their share of the Recovery Act funds.
You see not everyone thinks the stimulus bill and all the money handed out is a good thing. Some are rejecting it based on principle while others are rejecting it based on other reasons. Political views have caused some politicians to reject the funds and others just don't want to have anything to do with all the strings attached to getting the money.
When funds are rejected, this means that jobs are lost that might have been saved had the stimulus funds been accepted. Those who have lost jobs are now suing their state and local governments and it is all one huge mess. People who would have benefited from the funds are now very angry at their local leaders who have rejected the stimulus.
Anytime an amount as large as 787 billion is involved, you have to know that some nightmare scenarios are going to develop. The stimulus money Obama being handing out is causing all sorts of chaos, deception, fraud, and hard feelings all over the country.
If you are looking for ways to profit from Obama stimulus grants or this stimulus bill, you are probably astounded to hear that some are turning it down. So many people are in need and yet there is all sorts of behind the scene shenanigans going on that is starting to make this Recovery Act look like a joke.

FREE OBAMA DOLLARS - HAVE YOU GOTTEN YOURS?
Why do so many people think there are free Obama dollars being given away? Where does this all come from? Take a look at the video below which is of a mad scramble in Detroit of folks thinking they are in line for free Obama money.
It is amazing that this many people can still be under the impression that there is free money to be given away. It is clear that many of those waiting more than 8 hours had no clue what was really going on and just showed up to get some free money.
There are no Obama stimulus grants for individual people and President Obama is NOT giving away free money. If people tell you that you are entitled to some Obama dollars just because you voted for him, because you are black, because you are poor, or any other reason, it does not mean that you will be getting money.

DON'T GET FOOLED BY THE OBAMA GRANTS EMAIL SCAMS
There are a new rash of emails going around that lead you to one of the usual Obama government grants scams. These email all say something like this one that I got this morning:
** Urgent! Your Action Is Needed! ** Millions of dollars in federal & private grants may soon go unrewarded! The Government is now Mailing Checks! You must act now if you want to apply for this money: >> CLICK HERE
1) See which grants you are eligible for!
2) Learn how to apply in seconds!
3) You could get a check in the mail! You DON'T have to pay this grant money back!
They then have an ad that might be this one or any one of a number of other ads:
These grant ads take you to a sales page that has all the usual verbage about the government is now mailing out lots of checks and it is easy to get one. In addition they show the logo of MSN, CNN, FOX, CBS, ABC, and NBC as though these news outlets have all talked about and endorsed their grants program.
The scam is that in the fine print they say that if you don't cancel your "free trial" after 3 days or 7 days or one week, your credit card will be charged some big amount like $85.95 or $89.95, or $49.99 or some other substantial amount.
They make it sound like a free trial with just a small handling fee but they will make it near impossible for you to cancel. These "hidden" charges in the fine print are only seen by people who know enough to always read the terms and conditions. They are really trying to trick you into some government grants program that will give you no different information than you can get for free.
The important thing is that there are no special Obama stimulus grants and this is not some special time where you can get money from the government like these emails want you to believe. The government is NOT mailing out grant checks just because Obama is in office and you shouldn't be fooled by these emails.

OBAMA JOBS SUMMIT - HE JUST DOESN'T GET IT
Today President Obama is having a White House jobs summit where he is inviting leaders from companies of all sizes. They are supposedly getting together to toss around ideas on how to spur the economy and create jobs.
First of all, I thought the Obama stimulus grants were supposed to create jobs! Instead, the US continues to have higher and higher unemployment and it is getting hard to believe anything that comes out of Washington. Is there anybody who really thinks Obama knows how to create jobs?
Obama and the socialist Democrats just don't understand that to create jobs, they need to get out of the way. THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT CREATE REAL JOBS! They never have and they never will. There is no such thing as Obama jobs and he will never do anything but increase inflation and lose jobs by the tactics he is using now.
This Obama jobs summit is nothing more than another one of his photo ops designed to make it look like he is doing something and knows what he is doing. How many more months and years will it take for people to realize that the Obama administration is hurting this country badly.

WE NEED OBAMA STIMULUS GRANTS TO PAY FOR RECOVERY.ORG
The Obama stimulus bill and its humongous size of 787 billion has been debated for the better part of a year now. What hasn't been discussed much, is the outrageous cost of the government's Recovery.org website that is supposed to chronicle the spending and give legitimacy to the stimulus process. Do you know how much one web site is costing us taxpayers?
You can view the GSA contract to see that 18 million of our taxpayer dollars are being spent on this website which has had numerous allegations that the information on it isn't even accurate. It looks to me like we need special Obama stimulus grants just for the building of this website alone!
The stimulus grants and loans that are being given out across the country are going to come out of our tax for generations to come. To now see that one website costs 18 million dollars when the government pays for it just shows how incompetent our representatives in Washington are. There is no way in hell that Recovery.org, no matter how complicated a website it is, can legitimately cost eighteen million dollars. Am I wrong?
