these people are morons first and just happen to be voting for Obama. there are plenty voting for romney. They sad part is these are the people I am supposed to buck up and pay higher taxes for so that too can have a level playing field....
bet 20 bucks they all had iphones!
Not sure what type of phones they got.... but they got them and they were free.

Since 1996 there has been a program to subsidize phone access for the poor, mostly as a safety mechanism.
I believe it's funded through a small fee on your phone bill.
To my knowledge that's the only government sponsored way to get phone access without paying.

And in 2008 it was made to include cell phones and went from a 200 million dollar program to a multi billion dollar entitlement... That's why they are called "Obama phone"

The good news Spence is that as part of a tribal nation you can get one too
I don't think you really have a clue how the program operates.
The changes to the Clinton program to provide cell phone subsidies were made under Bush. The only changes I'm aware of under Obama have been to reduce fraud.
As for your claim of a multi-billion dollar entitlement, you're either completely ignorant or just making things up.

Please tell us more about President Obama's strides in reducing fraud.
He appears to be getting better at multi tasking with each post

Buckman, without multi billion dollar phone subsidies, old people will croak, children will starve and those with high cheek bones and questionable integrity will never get ahead in life.....

I don't understand how the program works because I'm not as bright as others, but 250 free minutes a month!!!( and who pays when they go over, because shutting the phone off would hurt the safety net) They should only dial 911 and thats it. I think that was the original intent.This has nothing to do with a "safety net". This is our tax dollars going to big corporations and being condoned by people too stupid to figure that out.
(like those motor scooter companies you see on tv. another scam)
Still waiting to hear more about how much money the President has saved us in this program...........some how with all the Presidents hard work we seem to be going backwards on the deficit a wee bit
