Every Year We Hear About The Giant Amount Of Money The Big Oil Companies Make!! Where Are They Now And Why Hasn't Anyone Thought About Asking Them To Help Bail Out The Very People That Line Their Pockets With Hundreds Of Billions Every Year?!? Big Brother BARAK Whom I Am Proud To Say I Voted For, Will Soon Be Enacting Painful Decisions. I FEEL WE NEED TO HOLD BIG OIL ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR YEARS OF RAKING IN UNIMAGINABLE AMOUNTS OF MONEY WHILE THE REST OF US WONDER IF WE WILL HAVE A HOME OVER OUR HEADS NEXT YEAR!!! I Feel We Need To Reformat The Whole Country. Why Not Allow All Americans To Start Over With A Clean Credit Record So That Spending Can Start Again Without The Fear Of High Interest RATES? Shouldn't We Start Tightening Down On The Rip Offs That Suck The Very Spirit Out Of The People Of This Country? PEOPLE WHO CHARGE UNBELIEVABLE RATES.ON TOP OF THAT THEY PUNISH US FOR HARD TIMES THAT AREN'T OUR FAULT. WHATS UP? WHY SHOULDN'T WE GIVE THE MONEY BACK TO THE PEOPLE THAT MADE IT? WHEN BANKS OR MORTGAGES ARE BOUGHT, WHO GETS THE MONEY OR REAL ESTATE? FEDERAL RESERVE? CENTRAL BANK? BIG FIVE FAMILIES? WHO?

I am from Nebraska and I hear that the Mayor of Omaha was there. I also was informed that at this meeting the President made the statement to these Mayors to not spend the monies he is sending to the states unwisely. Our President is a very wise and insightful man. I pray that the Mayor of Omaha, whom does not have a high approval rate listens, and will take heed to what was said to him by our President. It will probably fall on death ears though. If you were to come to Nebraska and see the devastation and the hopelessness you would understand why I say this. There is much to be done to help raise up Omaha, Nebraska period. Blacks, are so hopeless here and job availability is gone and the social services are a joke they all need to be stopped and start all over again. They do not help anyone and the programs are dead end. Programs that only exit to help keep those people whom run them employed, and never help those whom are forced to attend them.
I hope our President will continue to scope the problems of the nation state by state and send his delegates to really take a good look at the these so-called programs for the poor and needed, and investigate to see just what the money is being used for and the success of the programs before more people fill their pocket with monies that were intended for the people. Is this the norm for red states?

We need real welfare reform, and good government spending, locally, that will be used for those who intended.

I have never spake the words"My President" I am happy to now say it, it is easy and I feel good about that.

Yes, I distinctly heard Pres. Obama say something about "bold , swift action" . Where is it ? What happened to it ? It seems to be bogged down by Bernanke trying to rescue the dead corps of Capitalist Banking System by increments ! Throw money at it and hope it goes away : Anything but take responsibility for it and make something happen ! Bernanke and Guithner are starting from the wrong end of the monster and they are feeding rather than killing it ! These people could not regulate (police) themselves how can we expect or trust them to re-structure themselves ? All they have to do is lay back and let the government pump money in: The never ending transfusion for a patient hemoraging at every orfice while Nero fiddles ! Pres. Obama : Please read the Huffington Post to get a better idea of what "we the people" think of your recovery plan so far !

Credit brueaus scam and your right to protect your identy. If you decide to resist giving out your social security number to a private company but you would like to do business with them anyway, you need to determine why they want your number. The two most likely answers are: 1) They simply want a unique nine digit number to enter into a computer database so that they can identify and distinguish you from other customers within their record keeping system; or, 2) They want to obtain a "consumer credit report" for use in determining whether they want to extend you credit. In the latter case, the business may have a contract with a credit-reporting agency to "exchange" information about you and your account, typically using a SSN. Both of these "reasons" can be satisfied, upon agreement, without necessitating the use of a SSN. A credit report can be obtained without using a SSN.
Once it is determined exactly why the business wants to obtain a SSN, then determine whether an alternative arrangement can be worked out.

The "simple" answer to the question as to whether a person must give their social security number to engage in some business transaction is "NO". But the business may refuse to conduct business with the resistor. The options here are to either: 1) give out your social security number; 2) do without the goods, benefit, service, or access; 3) persuade the other party to amend or modify the contractual terms and conditions; or, 4) sue the other party in court - the grounds for such suit would have to be determined by tort merits of the complaint (perhaps discrimination).

2. Do I have to give my employer my SSN?

Answer: No. Employment is a form of contractual agreement. Generally, the same points made in the previous answer regarding contractual agreements also apply here.
If the terms of employment include a requirement that the employee must supply their social security number then there are basically four options available: 1) supply the requested SSN; 2) ask to work out another arrangement where the SSN isn't required; 3) don't work for that company; or, 4) sue the business in court.

Good I agree with you.

Being that BHO has never produced a valid certified copy of his US birth certificate and has spent millions in legal fees to avoid doing so, he should be required by the US Supreme Court to do so or face expulsion from office and deportation as an illegal alien. How naive can anyone be to think he is justified in witholding this information from the American people? I have lost all respect for the Supreme Court for not stepping in and defending our constituion by requiring this imposter to prove his citizenship. BHO is a consummate traitor to this country and needs to be impeached and removed from office. His agenda is destruction of the American way of life and adoption of Marxism. He shows contempt for our Constitution and has NEVER publicly expressed any love for this country. He refuses to salute the flag and goes around the world apoligizing for America. He is deliberately leading us into bankruptcy with his wreckless spending... pushing the passage of pork barrel spending bills through congress that neither he nor anyone else has actually read. Those who are to blame are the American people... the ignorant and naive populace who elected these bozos.
