Kind of odd the right wing NJ's don't have anything on Obama so the have to regurgitate old spoiled bologna.
I wonder how the hell my grandmother survived to 82 with out a cell phone? Some how she even managed to survive the depression, with no phone.

Gosh I can't believe she did it on her own.

I do think this women in the video had a lot to do with misleading who were getting those phones.....it's one thing for the elderly, and another for women like this.

“People were getting multiple cellphones, they were selling them on Craigslist, so clearly people know how to take advantage of a program like this.”

We could cut a billion today if this were to stop being handed out to the wrong people.


It's those that abuse it.....when will Liberals see that we don't live in an honest world. Stop the Abuse and allowing younger people pushing out babies, collecting welfare and drugs on the side to abuse the system.

"The U.S. government spent about $2.2 billion last year to provide phones to low-income Americans, but a Wall Street Journal review of the program shows that a large number of those who received the phones haven't proved they are eligible to receive them."

Millions Improperly Claimed U.S. Phone Subsidies - WSJ.com

On Feb. 13, NASA’s Fiscal 2013 Budget was announced and the Obama Administration carved away nearly half the Mars mission budget. Altogether, funding for NASA’s Mars and Planetary missions in the Fiscal 2013 budget would be sliced by $300 million – from $1.5 Billion this year to $1.2 Billion in 2013. NASA was forced to gut the Mars program to pay for the cost overruns of the James Webb Space Telescope.

Experts React to Obama Slash to NASA
The poor need a phone too. But the program should be only for the poor and they should have to prove they are poor to get it.

That is a lie. They only send you a simple flip phone. Now, I suspect you could remove the SIM card and put it in any phone but they do not send a fancy phone. You only get 200 minutes and no data anyway.
