As usual, you speak without knowing. Are you familiar with this Program?  Well, I am to some degree. The Phones come from Tracfone, a big prepaid Cell company. The way I understand it, the phones come with 68 minutes a month free and if you want more, you have to pay for them.

The way the Program was explained to me, it amounted to a Company working with the Government to get Phones in the Hands of those needing them and in the mean time make a little "green" off the ones who buy more minutes every month.

It sounded like a profit motive thing to me, but of course, as soon as you thought some poor person might be getting a little Meat with their Porridge, you got upset.

Chill  a little. You don't have to be so greedy.

I wonder if I can get Obama to pay for my home phone and DSL ?
 
I have no need for a cell phone so surely he won't discriminate.

Don't loose too much sleep over these "free phones" I know someone that just recieved one and they can barely make calls on them thy are so cheap.The person I know that has one of these can not afford any other type of phone so yes it is good for emergencies,not all people in this country are useless benefit sucking scumbags.Some are hard working people that are just down on thier luck.

Bocephus, what the hell did we all do before cell phones?  How did everyone survive?  As far as being cheap maybe we ought appropriate some more tax dollars and get them all iphones, then they can surf the net and just in case they get lost between the grocery store and home they can whip up a map. Geeeeeeezzz.  As long as the handouts continue to fly many people will never do for themselves.

Try and find a Pay Phone to use for Doctor Appts. or legit business now a days if you can't afford a Home Phone. You will have little luck.

My Cell died in Dayton and I needed desperately to call home. No pay phones any where! I had to beg a business to let me use their for a Collect Call, I had no choice. Of course I was Dressed "expensively" and had Cash and credit cards in my pocket. Would they have done the same for a poor Person?

I am beginning to see that some on here just bitch and moan Emotionally without ever having any facts. Why so much hate for  the poor in an era of 10.5% unemployment?

I know someone who has been unemployed for twelve years now, and has never collected anything from the government, yet they manage to get by.  How???  Hard work and good planning during the 30+ years before becoming unemployed!!!

LRISNER I have no cell phone and I get by just fine without one.  It is not hate for the poor, that is solely in your own mind, but it reaches a point when you must say enough is enough.  Unless you are disabled in some way get up and get a job, get two jobs if you have to if you want a cell phone.
 
Food , Housing, Assistance with Utility Bills, Medical care, these are all necessities.....a cell phone....sorry I am not buying it.

Yes my friend planned poorly and "wasted" a lot of money over his 50+ years as most of us are guilty of but if a person runs into bad health at some point in their life and may or may not be prepared for it.I guess I have a different view of my friend knowing his work record and his personal story.To some people this phone could be a life line.And oh yes Im sure these "free" phones are being exploited by scum sucking bottom feeders too LOL

Again...No home Phone! Poor people can't affford home Phones. Do you have a Home Phone? Could you get by just fine without it?

I have plenty of Cell phones. I have all that I need. I am retired at 53 and don't hate anyone.

I am just sick to death of all the dis-info in the world today. Most People with the anger you have is what I call a Rushbo "useful Idiot". Someone who has their mouth running all the time without knowing anything of the Subject but what some Pundit told them to think.

As to the Program at hand, like the hard Head type you are, you ignored the fact that I all but told you it was funded by Tracfone for the purpose of selling high priced minutes to poor people.

Just another example of you complaining without knowing.
I explained "Total Compensation" for you in the hope  you would shut up because some City Worker has better Health Insurance than you. Did you shut up? No. 

You just want to whine! Mindless Whining!


And you all wonder why City officials won't comment on here about issues.

Yes, I too, was guilty of waste!!!  I did not marry until I was 44.  While a bachelor, I spent 75% of my money on women, alcohol, and fancy cars.
 
The rest, I just WASTED!!! LOL LOL LOL

lrisner do you throw these temper tantrums at home also?  Can you not state your position without the name calling and insults?   For someone that claims not to 'HATE' you sure can't demonstrate that in your comments.  I would suggest if the only way that you can enter a discussion is with name calling and insults, you refrain from making any comments, but I know you won't be able to control yourself.  That is unfortunate.

Actually Lrisner the program is paid for by the carriers from a fee,  Universal Service Charge, that they add to your cell phone bill so you are paying a quasi tax to the telecoms to support this program.  So as you can see anyone that has a cell phone and pays a bill is basically being taxed to fund this program.
 
"USF by telecommunications carriers collected from the Universal Service Charge billed to cell phone users accounts."
 
Tracfone supplies the Phone which basically anyone can go to Walmart and get the phone for free as the price you pay for the phone is basically refunded to you in Service time and minutes when you activate it.   Just stay with the basic phones.
