I just read the 1934 Telecommunications act AND its 1996 Act that amends it. No where in it did I read that it gives free phones to anyone. It regulates the phones as to interstate communications, and ensures everyone has the right to have phone access. That means you can have a phone and you PAY for it; AND Pay For the service. If I missed a part, feel free to post it.

buzzard, does it matter? I wasn't saying it's a bad thing. I think it's a good thing. I'm glad the program exists.

Lifeline is a government benefit program that provides discounts on monthly telephone service for eligible low-income consumers to help ensure they have the opportunities and security that telephone service affords, including being able to connect to jobs, family, and 911 services. Lifeline is supported by the federal Universal Service Fund (USF).

What happened? Did a bunch of talking heads decide to take an old program and then push the emotional buttons and manufacture outrage against people who can't afford a phone, and call it an Obama phone?

No. 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.

Or maybe it's a Wilson phone.

Nor is it paid for with "tax payer money," as the e-mail claims. Rather, it is funded through the Universal Service Fund, which is administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company, an independent, not-for-profit corporation set up by the Federal Communications Commission. The USF is sustained by contributions from telecommunications companies such as "long distance companies, local telephone companies, wireless telephone companies, paging companies, and payphone providers."

They sure did - and clowns like Johnnyclips decided it was a new tax so he locked himself in his bunker.

He started a seriously disturbing thread on here, rallying all the other halfwits into a frenzy.

I would find it but I cannot be bothered.

They were talking about this on Opie and Anthony. Someone said this this woman is paid $12 an hour by some union to picket Romney. She shows up in a BUNCH of videos.

What are fool stamps?

'Merica. lol

[bronco67]

I fucking hate Romney with an intensity that I can't describe -- but the idiots in this video are kind of helping to prove his "47%" comments are true.
