Where do “Obama phones” come from?
September 27, 2012 | 2:25 pm

This video of an Obama supporter bragging about having an “Obama phone” has gone viral on the web, but where do these “free cell phones” come from?

The program is called Lifeline, established in 1984, originally created to subsidize landline phone service for low income Americans, funded by government-collected telecommunication fees, paid by consumers.

In 2008, the program was expanded to support cell phones which quickly escalated the cost of the program. In 2008 the program cost $772 million, but by 2011 it cost $1.6 billion....................................>>>>..........................>>>>.................http://washingtonexaminer.com/where-do-obama-phones-come-from/article/2509203#.UGWI8hwU7Do

have ya seen those fees?

yeah, when the phone companies call saying they have this discount and it's 1/2 the cost of current one you have, it's because
they leave out the taxes and fees that make up the rest of our bills.....

it's a joke....they can funnel the funds ANYWHERE and we wouldn't know any different....


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.


STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
