The U.S. government spent about $2.2 billion last year to provide phones to low-income Americans, but a Wall Street Journal review of the program shows that a large number of those who received the phones haven't proved they are eligible to receive them.

Rush doesn't refer to the Clown In Chief as Baraq Hessein O'Clause for nothing!! How do you think he won his reelection (aside from the cheating)?

[dfwgator]

Perhaps now we’ll find out if Dr. Johnny Fever was right about the “phone cops.”

Maybe because some folks started to complain about previous Obamaphones being a bit on the junky as in not so great side.

I do not doubt that at all. I have seen a person get replacements with hardly any trouble at all, on taxpayer dime of course.

They’ll manage your healthcare just as well as they managed phones.

“Improperly Claimed U.S. Phone Subsidies”

No, they are STEALING from the U.S. taxpayer and will never be punished for it. That’s what’s really happening.

IMHO it’s a type of reparations payment.
