Did you know that even those who do get rebates.will have to declare them on next year's taxes, so what one hand gives, the other takes away? But people like you never got even that. It's yet another in a long list of examples I have written about over the years of the fact that our leaders have lost sight of the ideal of the level playing field. While it was never perfect, at least people like FDR, Truman, Woodrow Wilson spoke about it and tried to implement policies based on it. Although, as I wrote I am on disability, it would be absurd for me to say I understand, but I hope you will accept my concern and my hope that things will get better. Please feel free to visit the site and continue to comment. It is testimony like yours that keeps me going in this sometimes draining fight for equity and justice. Mr. Bobier,

Yes It does, Does Congress care, I doubt It, AARP sure knew how to help the disabled, As they only looked at people who had SSDI and SSA Retirement, Anyone else got SCREWED!!!!!!:evil::evil: Well I hope all the people out there are happy with their check, Me I won’t be getting one in May 2008, I’m disabled and I get SSI and since I get SSI(And only an SSI check), The IRS said If You get only SSI You will not get a check and SSA said they do not send out proof of income, So no rebate of $300 or $600 or anything for those like Me(Estimated to be 3 million people on SSI across the USA I’ve heard), Does It suck to be forgotten or left out on a fixed income?

I have been unable to get the text, so I can't verify for sure, but as usual you are on to something. Take care and keep the comments coming.
