First, let’s not doubt that the Repubs approved those free phones as well as funding for public TV.

Anybody thinks not I got a bridge to sell, cheap.

BUT...I hasten to add that our guy, Juan McCain, spent much of his political capital and time on his infamous campaign finance that absolutely nonebody in America cared about.

To those who argue, STUPIDLY, that the money spent on public tv or free phones is minimal and would not much matter in terms of money flow to and from the gubmint....sheesh.

they all live in that silly bubble in DC folks.

Now here’s my argument....a family is in debt to the tune of $50,000. Husband and wife sit down and agree to cut down on all spending....cut back, austerity as it is.

Lady goes out and buys a dress for $300. Husbands laments such spendthrift ways and says this has to stop, we’re too deep in debt.

Would the wife have a good argument that $300 is just a pittance of the $50,000 they owe on the credit cards, just move on? “We need bigger money to really knock down our debt,” she might say.

Well that’s the arguments the Democrats keep making.

While us boobs who carry this country on our backs want them to first....CUT BACK ON THE SPENDING!!

At the least remove Sesame street, a treasure trove of royalties and cash flowing in, and the free phones BEFORE you start reducing social security and medicare into which we paid our entire lives not that Sesame street or those phone users put anything back into the system.

Husband says “I’ts not easy working for OBama cause you got to be a good liar”.

Goodness he sure ate his Wheaties this morning methinks.

The Repubs did. In fact, this program goes way back in time to when I still worked in DC. I remember all the hue and cry about the poor needing 911 access and thus phones, and broadband, blah blah blah, at conferences I attended. It was going on at a time when I personally didn’t have a cell phone or broadband myself, but still managed to get to work etc.

Gosh! How did I do it?

So you are saying the money spent on free cell phones was a specific item in the stimuilus package? That Rep were aware these tax payer funded phones were being supplied to certain people and it was not money allocated out of a larger sum which was agreed to earlier?
