Don't forget about all the free Cell Phones provided by Oblame-A. Keeps the drug money and hookers flowing!
Who is Oblame-A?
The Lifeline program that you speak of was first started for land line phones in 1984 (Republican president and Senate, Democrat house). The program was expanded in 1996 (Democratic president-Republican congress). The first "free" cell phones were in the early 2000 during a republican president and a democrat congress.
Also, the program does not give away cell phones. However when you sign up for the discounted service, many companies give a free basic cell phone.
Don't be spreading the poisonous kool aide.
It is what you learn, after you know it all, that counts.
