And we get this nice notice in the mail yesterday: If we are on any kind of public assistance program, we can get a FREE CELL PHONE with 250 minutes per month....did I mention that it is FREE? Add a few dollars and the number of minutes balloons to 1000. Now, who do you think is paying for this largess?
Every politician should have to answer that question, then be subjected to a, figuratively at least, old time “tarring and feathering.”
We keep redefining poverty. Roof overhead, non-dirt floor, heat/airconditioning, auto, cellphone, etc. That’s not poverty that’s luxury. We need to correct the meaning of poverty and define it back to reality. We don’t have a poverty problem in America. We have a reality problem.
