Exactly. I heard that “lady” in Cleveland yesterday on the radio bragging about her “free Obama phone”. WTF? Since when should a cell phone be part of the support for the poor? What line of warped logic came up with that one and where was the GOP when that piece of crap slid onto the books?
Some people can be bought on the cheap.
The so-called Lifeline program was passed in 1984, during the Reagan administration. It subsidized the installation of a landline in poor households in order to give them access to 911.
In 2007, the Democrat Congress voted to include cell phones in the program. President Bush signed the bill.
In both cases, a Democrat Congress -- but a Republican president.
