Unbelievable.<br />Can you read your own link? The program is funded by telecom co's, NOT by taxes. AND, I'll blame Bush until you right wingnuts admit HE is the one that wrecked our economy, and the current administration is just trying to fix it. Pretty obvious to anyone that actually thinks.Fam Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11449196464758832695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688592897163585128.post-25079079558180101042010-05-08T06:16:24.150-05:002010-05-08T06:16:24.150-05:00My first draft said free on the cell-phones, then ...My first draft said free on the cell-phones, then I changed it to govt-supported. Cell phones are still free, if not directly provided by the govt. My whole point is we are becoming a welfare state, like Europe (Greece?)<br /><br />BS and vitriole here? Look, I've read your blog, and it's filled with as much BS, anger and hate as you'll find anywhere.

LIFELIN...From your own link, about the cell phones.<br />LIFELINE/SAFELINK FACT SHEET<br />There is no "Obama phone" or other newly created federal program to provide free cell phones. As you may know, this is a myth that is now circulating on the Web via email and blog sites. It has been thoroughly debunked by independent groups. (See for example: FactCheck.org at http://www.factcheck.org/2009/10/the-obama-phone/, which notes:<br /> "Low-income households have been eligible for discounted telephone service for more than a decade. But the program is funded by telecom companies, not by taxes, and the president has nothing to do with it."<br />The federal "Lifeline" program was created during the Reagan Administration.<br /><br />Steve, you gotta check your 'facts' a little better...Fam Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11449196464758832695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688592897163585128.post-48071244583381547042010-05-07T13:38:47.576-05:002010-05-07T13:38:47.576-05:00Interesting mix of facts, BS and vitriole here. &#...Interesting mix of facts, BS and vitriole here. 'Not ONE thing Obama has done has worked'? Hmmm. Yes, we have obviously been lucky, but we have also foiled lots of plots. A border guard gets shot, and that makes us unsecure? Unemployment at 10%, actually a lot higher, is cuz Bush wrecked our economy, and NO ONE is gonna be able to do a quick fix on it. As far as the gov't giveaways, I'll give you that one. As far as illegals, that's nothing new. MOST of them, by far, came during the Bush years. Tough problem to tackle, BUT, should start with secure borders. Hadn't heard about the cell phone deal, but sounds pretty wrong.Fam Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11449196464758832695noreply@blogger.com
