I'm pretty confident that Obama and his team were very happy to have sites like these (maybe even negotiated) telling people that Obama was giving them free phones for the last 4 years, there have been countless pop ups I've noticed during that time touting that Obama is providing this or that and it has clearly worked...there's been an explosion in Government provided "stuff" and it will continue if we allow it...it's a mentality that they have fostered so you really have no argument complaining about it now that it has apparently become a negative for him....

In other words, you don't have a clue so you're just making stuff up hoping people aren't paying attention?

didn't have to make anything up..it's all there, I don't think anyone is shocked by this.... just more bread and circus


The program in Ohio cost $26.9 million in the first quarter of 2012, the most recent data available, versus $15.6 million in the same timeframe in 2011. Compared to the first quarter of 2011, the number of people in the program nearly doubled to more than a million. wow...that's a lot

Growth could cost everyone who owns a phone. The program is funded through the "Universal Service Fund" charge on phone bills and the amount of the fee is determined by the cost of this and other programs.arbitrary....well at least they can fund it indefinitely

The total cost of the program nationwide was $1.5 billion in 2011, up from $1.1 billion in 2010.really put a dent in that waste and fraud
