My kids get free lunch every day fromt eh Family School Lunch Program. Free breakfast and dinner too. Even weekends and holidays. Is our homeschool eligible?
Not if you’re a taxPAYER. Sorry, you lose.
(just like mos of the folks on FR...)
Free cell phones and nearly free internet for illegals and others who don’t declare their income. Around here hispanic’s automatically get free lunches..preschool..breakfast..after school day care..etc.
Almost every kid in the government schools gets a free lunch. This is going to cost the paying Comcast customers a fortune.
Amen to that!
I sent it to some po Christian folks I know. Why should the parasites be the only ones to get almost “free internet”
Excellent! Good!
Well anything is possible with this administration. i was just hoping for once Free enterprise was being used. Good to see you and hope you have a great day!!!
I used to joke about Baraq expanding food stamps to internet stamps and gas stamps.
Looks like it wasn’t a joke....
Why would the parasites even think about looking for a job when they have millions of tax slaves to buy everything for them?
Starve the beast. Bank your cash. It's better you have it than someone who's done nothing to earn it.
THE OBAMA-TRONS JAMMED COMCAST and now Comcast is going to jam you and me

As part of its merger with NBC Universal earlier this year, Comcast is required to provide 2.5 million low-income households with high-speed Internet for less than $10 a month; computers for less than $150 a month; and digital literacy training, according to the Federal Communications Commission.
A program launching this week in partnership with the Comcast cable provider seeks to change that. Families with children who qualify for free school lunches can sign up for low-cost, high-speed Internet, buy a computer at a discount and take free Internet training.
“Access to the Internet is akin to a civil rights issue for the 21st Century,” said David Cohen, Comcast executive vice president. “It’s that access that enables people in poorer areas to equalize access to a quality education, quality healthcare and vocational opportunities.”
and there’s Fupping MORE....
I wonder if it only connects to whitehouse.gov, moveon.org, and msnbc.com?
No, it wasn’t.
napscoordinator, read this!
Of course! Get with it man! (/s)
I bet my grandfather who only made it through 8th grade was better educated than these kids with their computers and internet service.
Anything the democrat scroungers want is now a civil right, and it's the slave laborers who have to provide it for them.
Starve the beast. Free the tax slaves. Let them find their own jobs for a change.
“Poor” people deserve access to porn too...just not in HD.
