Overwhelm the system, then say "See! See! We told you freedom doesn't work!"

The commies with the agenda KNOW these programs will be abused, and they WANT them to be abused.

The sheeperals are the frustrating ones.
They think they’re doing “good” with these programs.
“Why would you want someone to not be able to make emergency phonecalls?”

More spending - yay! (sarc)

I'm glad this issue has surfaced.

I have long had a problem with subsidizing others' phone bills. The original Universal Lifeline tax on our phone bills was to make sure that seniors had access to 911 in case of emergency. Okay, but who, other than skid row bums, doesn't have telephone service, and can't dial 911? It's my understanding that if you have a phone plugged in, and no other service, you can still dial 911. I believe that to be fedgov law. I could be wrong.

NOW! We're supposed to subsidize those with cell phones? If a person can afford to buy a cell phone and the access charges, why do they need anyone to subsidize their phone bill? Someone, please explain this to me. Seriously, I don't get it.

While I share the same outrage at this theft of my money to buy votes from the democrat plantation crowd this link really raises my blood pressure to the tune of $4+ billion.

Please take the time to view this.

ALL cell phones, past and pressent, access 911 by law.
That’s free—and good enough.

An easy way to fix this is to make the “Lifeline Phone” a dedicated one function device. It has only one button, and that button dials “911” (or the equivalent cell number).

Keeps the desired original functionality and eliminates the possibility of abuse.

What I can't understand is why a phone meant for “emergencies” is able to *receive* calls and comes with 250 free minutes and free voice mail? *Calling* 911...OK,maybe...250 free minutes and voice mail? WELFARE SCAM!!!!!

The FCC raised the tax on all phone service to 17% in order to fund this outrage.
