Obama greatly expanded the program so that anybody who receives food stamps, supplemental nutrition assistance, Medicaid, SSI, Child Health Insurance Plan, school lunches, low-income energy assistance, Section 8 Public Housing, or lives on a reservation gets a free phone with free minutes. Free to them anyway, but everybody else who has a phone has to pay for it, dumbass.
And when the hell did I say it was paid for by income taxes?!
However, I did always wonder who the freaking morons are that fall for it when the government calls a tax a "fee" as if there's any difference. Now I know, it's you.
"Der... it's not a tax, it's a fee!"
What a goober you are. "Der... if you don't want to buy the whole ghetto a phone, you don't have to buy a phone for yourself!"
You might just be the dumbest mf on the internet.
Should be something the COngress might be able to resolve if they had a backbone. Gut off the funding for the program, limit access to a single phone number (What, 6 phones? really).
the demodummies are trying to cover their butts and really have not intention of resolving this problem. It’s here to stay like sooooooo many other gubmint waste programs.
