That's right, free cell phones and minutes cuz the poor need to be able to make a call during the day when they're not working a job or cashing their welfare check. I can't wait for Slick to explain to all of us why this Dem created program is a good way to spend our tax dollars.

There is no "Obama phone" or other newly created federal program to provide free cell phones. As you may know, this is a myth that is now circulating on the Web via email and blog sites. It has been thoroughly debunked by independent groups. (See for example: FactCheck.org at
http://www.factcheck.org/2009/10/the-obama-phone/, which notes: "Low-income households have been eligible for discounted telephone service for more than a decade. But the program is funded by telecom companies, not by taxes, and the president has nothing to do with it."
The federal "Lifeline" program was created during the Reagan Administration. Lifeline is a federal program created by the Reagan era Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1984. The program was enhanced under Telecommunications Act of 1996, which was supported on a broadly bipartisan basis in Congress. The FCC’s Low Income Program of the Universal Service Fund, which is administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), is designed to ensure that quality telecommunications services are available to low-income customers at just, reasonable, and affordable rates. Lifeline support reduces eligible low-income consumers' monthly charges for basic telephone service.
Thanks to SafeLink, Lifeline support is now available for wireless phones. Traditionally, the Lifeline program was only available as a discount on a consumer’s landline telephone bill.
of course, theres MUCH more there to read than just that, perhaps you can spare some time and actually read something before you judge and comment on them, your thread titles will become accurate for a change

Seems you need to do a bit of research on factcheck.org, my foreign friend.

ok, so are you contending that factcheck/anneberg (which seems to look funny now, given the link you provided [same bullshit, different party colour]) is lieing, saying telecom companies fund the phone program, when in fact it comes from taxpayer revenue?
please source that proves personal tax income is funding the phones et al.
following the same above, is it a lie that the parent program was started in Reagan-era FCC?
please source that proves otherwise

Its a lie, been proven to be a lie(funded by telecoms from private funds) has nothing to do with Obama.
You've just lost your last shred of credibility with me, Ruggie. Welcome to the bottom feeders club with HH and the Rube. If that was your goal, to appear to be an ideologically-blinded idiot, you've succeeded.
Congrats!

Like your opinion matters. You tow your parties line regardless of how it hurts this country so your negative opinion of me nor anyone else here is a badge of honor. You wouldn't know the first fucking thing about being a real American, or about what the Constitution or Bill of Rights means. And by "means" I mean what our founding fathers intended the Fed's place to be in our lives. You're a sad individual who takes money to
not do work with your "farming subsidy". You're as bad as any of the bottom feeders taking welfare when they can work.
So what you can do is take your opinion and shove it up your east coast douchebag ass. Be thankful you don't live down the block from me cuz I'd have to slap the fuck outta you just cuz you disgust me. You're a commie/marxist/socialist sympathizer who would best be served hanging from one of the lamp posts in your neighborhood as a warning to anyone else who is a traitor to this country.
Additionally, even though these people are too stupid to spell you can bet they work for a living instead of taking free money for doing nothing:
The irony with the picture above is that you're a pussy (vaggie so to speak) of great magnitude. This pic made me think of you.
