GREECE
“There is something very, very wrong with that picture.
All of this unnecessary welfare has got to stop.
No more free cell phones for people on welfare.”
I have mixed feelings about this...
On the negative side, I have two friends that get free phones... One of them has a newer car than I do. However, have you noticed that there are no phone booths anymore?
On the positive side, people do need to make a phone call sometimes, and they cant afford a $50 a month plan from cricket. You cant look for a job without a phone number...
If you are food stamps or Medicare, you probably qualify
Has this guy been living in a cave? Free phones have been around for quite a while now.
There’s a line on your monthly cell phone bill: Wireless surcharges and other charges and credits. That’s the money you contribute for free cell phones and minutes for the poor. Mine was $8.48 last month.
It’s one of those “under the surface taxes.”
When Allen West made his speech yesterday at the Republican Gingrich event, he used a phrase I had used months ago.
“The Safety Net has become a Hammock”
Ain’t it the truth brother.
Great minds think alike. LOL
(Welfare rats get oodles of other freebies, of course, and they are no less offensive.)
Welfare rats, most of them anyway, feel totally entitled, and have no gratitude whatever to those of us who have worked a career (and have served in uniform) in order to provide them with free telephone service.
(And no, it is highly not likely that welfare rats use the phones to look for work. Why should they?)

I could use some socks, a bag of charcoal briquets... and some gas in my truck. Thanks everybody.
what do you want to bet they will use it to text propaganda messages directly to their mob crowd.
Mr Snyder, try to learn to think and write in whole paragraphs instead of in single sloganeering sentences. That said, your outrage is justified, but listen up for a sec.
I’ve gotten these ads in the mail on Tuesdays when the ad circulars come, and here is what I noticed about the offer, and what I perceive as the real outrage. I’ve thrown out this trash so I cannot provide the full evidence, but here it is from memory. In order to qualify for this program you have to be a recipient of one or more of about 20 government programs, all listed in the ad, and that for me is the outrage, programs most of us don’t realize exist and chew up billions of our tax dollars, while we are screaming now about just one of them.
And the prick always talks about the middle class. He’s killing the middle class. Effort hurts rather than pays off. The middle class does without one thing to pay for their cell phones. They struggle to pay their orthodontia monthly. The poor get it all for free. Why work?
Brought to you by none other than Slick Willie and Al Gore slipped into the telecommunations bill on their watch and billed as the universal service fund. We have all been paying this for years.
Pretty soon the government will be handing out the Regime’s version of the Iphone called the “MYPhone”. Instead of starting it up by addressing “Siri” you have to say “Heil Barack”.
They’re commonly known as obamaphones.
Free Cell Phones And Free Cell Phone Minutes To Welfare Recipients
For everyone who opposes this kind of handout. Please support Newt Gingrich. I am sending him a copy of my own personal plan for dealing with the overwhelming number of welfare recipients and other gubmint benefits deadbeats. I have recently come to the realization that I may never be elected President of these United States. Therefore I am sending a copy of my plan to Newt for his use. The plan is really very simple and it will solve both the welfare and illegal immigration problem at the same time. We simply sign a brand new trade agreement with Mexico and we put it into effect immediately it is so simple all that we have to do is send Mexico three welfare recipients for every young person who would like to come to America. All they must do is obey our laws, learn to speak english, and have no prior criminal record. We can tell the welfare recipients they are getting a free gubmint paid vacation. This program will have to be implemented and carried out very quickly because as soon as Mexico figures out what we have done to them they will want to break the treaty. The more you think about it the more it makes sense.
I’m pretty sure that free cell phones was written in the Constitution.
“the federal Universal Service Fund”
Geeze, that’s the “Al Gore Tax” The author acts like this is *new* knowledge.
Heck, put on daytime TV around here and you’ll get tons of ads for this service. Free cellphone and plan, but only if you’re on Welfare.
Sounds perfect for drug dealers.
