Let me guess- this is one handout that you aren't getting?
Was there an option to refuse it?

A question that I'd have for Scott Burns, since he seems to be so much against the $250 payment, is if the guv't does deposit that $250 in his bank account.....will he write out a $250 check and send it back to the gov't and say thanks but no thanks? I'd bet not! Or better yet, maybe he should voluntarily quit receiving SS and Medicare, as a sign of protest against gov't entitlement programs! LOL!!!
Ha,
Being close to 55 in a few weeks I might be classed as a juvenile here.
We stopped our AARP membership. They seem to be very concerned with politics, and I guess they assume all seniors are of the same opinion and party affiliation.
Don't know about the newsletter, but AAA gives you discounts without pimping the govt for free handouts, and yes, the $250 is a free handout, you didn't earn it, you're being bought, like a slave, so that you'll support the DC
politicians.

I am not trying to pick a fight, but how would you know that for sure?The AARP newsletter gave me a clear explanation of the healthcare debate without the spin and distortions that are out there.
That said, I'm all for the $250 stimulus/bonus/payment/whatever to those on SS......... After all, it's really just a drop in the bucket, compared to what we've spent on the U.S. war machine in the past 8-9 years.

I'm not getting any handouts, I'm one of the ones that are paying the bills.Let me guess- this is one handout that you aren't getting?
But if they raise my taxes, I may retire earlier than plan just to
stick it to the man

amen. I'm glad some others see AARP as a liberal lobbyist group rather than the discount group many people see them as. They won't get any of my money, as I disagree with nearly everything they support.I agree with you Wiiliam. AARP wants to pay themselves like Wall Street Bankers and simply do a bunch of affinity mktg to what they think of as a captive consumer audience. They do not and will not represent me for a measly fluff magazine and lobbyists which support the AARP Agenda instead of the elderly population. They have their collective heads stuck where the sun can't shine!
Yep. Nice thing about the centerfold is the crease in the paper seems to disappear among the wrinkles....Ha,
I don't know about you, but I like the AARP magazine for the
hot babes.

Kind of along the same lines...only not really. Last year (or the year before before) a friend of mine who is younger than me, was telling me how excited she was because she and her sister had tickets to go see Rod Stewart in concert in Chicago. She was just going on and on about how 'hot' she thought he was.Ha,
