Conservative Thread: U.S. Steele - Back In Business

[Humphrey Bear]

So I wonder how much it costs to mail out 250,000 $1.00 checks?

By spending this money, they trigger another $43 million in Federal Funds.

Washington sends $1 food stamp checks to 250,000
The Associated Press

OLYMPIA, Wash. The state of Washington sent out $1 checks to the 250,000 food stamp recipients in the state.

The director of the Community Services Division for the Department of Social and Health Services, Leo Ribas, says the checks mailed Feb. 17 trigger an additional $43 million in federal food benefits. They also connect recipients to an energy assistance program.

Ribas says the $1 check is a one-time move to leverage the federal money. He says next year the state will be able to trigger the federal assistance through a routine deposit in food stamp accounts

*waving to my fellow Conservatives!*

I took the test and had DH take the test. We should be just fine as long as we stick together. I'm the realist *duh* and he's the fighter *another big duh* I wouldn't even tell him the categories becausee I knew he'd end up a fighter even more so if he knew that was an option!

His answer when I told him? "Now... send me some liberals to fight with!"

That's my baby!

Doh! We have got to take out the queen!

Can Senator Dodd please shut up so Wall Street can get back on its feet?

Doh! We have got to take out the queen!

Can we make her late for a very important date or something? Why oh why didn't Dino win?????????

I stopped reading after page 2. Sorry, but I got the vibe that the whole story was a bit too tidy, and nothing more than a big crap load of stirring the pot.

I know, but I'm a "fighter". I've been one my whole life. Perseverance and survival....two things I know.

Just keep swimming......

**added** Being in the same category as Lance Armstrong? Not to shabby.:

There's also a link in my signature. Come check it out...it seems so lonely over there.

I'll check it out ASAP!

I don't know if you guys have talked about this. I've been and hit and miss on the boards lately. (I know Soarin's seen it)

I just took Glenn Becks Survival quiz. I think it nailed me.

Yup, saw it. Posting my results below....

Hey, sorry! The bird had to go to bed, which meant that I had to turn the computer off. But for the next two weeks, the bird will sleep downstairs and I have all the computer time I want!!!!!!

First time I took it.... I was this.

But second time I took it, this. I'm both, I think.

Can we make her late for a very important date or something? Why oh why didn't Dino win?????????

Because she cheated big time the first election, and I guess they decided to keep her this one.

As I said before, I'm a thinker. I wish I could have put more than one answer on them.

Can someone post the link to that quiz? I went back through 7 pages and I couldn't find it


...could be because I have a migraine and skimmed right over it, but any help?

I saw this quote earlier and it made me wonder... Do you think he was speaking to Conservatives?

"We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you."- President Barack Obama

I'm thinking so....

I hate that man. I seriously do.

I'd like some prayers and support, if you guys don't mind. My father runs the county hospital back home, and he has been assigned a project that I am so proud of him for accepting- he is reading the stimulus and is then preparing a literal protest report regarding how the stimulus is dealing with the healthcare industry. He is going to be taking the project to Washington in a couple months along with some other people from our state, so please be thinking about him. This is a big deal in our county and our state.

Good morning everyone! Dolce, what do you mean no one is reading your trip report??? Of course we're reading it! We are just being patient and don't want to rush you. We all know artists can't be rushed.

I have read the whole thing...

WOW!!! DOWN, DOWN DOWN....

DOW 7162
NASDAQ 1399
S%P 748

Here are the numbers 10 years ago.


I don't see how ANYBODY can not see the correlation between Obama and the market. It has consistently declined since he locked up the dem nomination.

Is he completely to blame? No....but, Wall Street doesn't like his policies or his agenda. They have no confidence in him and NEITHER DO I.

I watched today as it sank from both briefings...or what ever you want to call them

Not to mention the paper and envelope and ink and so on.....I just dont get the $1 check... and isnt that cheating for more money....underhanded


By the way I took the test and....

I understand the struggle, more than you can imagine.

Your Dad will definitely be in my prayers.
