This is what happens when private finance has control of our federal policies and our tax dollars. We've been sold out.

Well I checked it out. I don't know if the Government is actually paying for anything. The program will give certain "qualifying" people a free phone and 68 minutes free air time a month.
Of course additional minutes are available for sale.
Nothing is truly free
No joke most welfare recipients have them.
This must be a joke

It's times like these I'm glad I pay taxes so that people who do not want to work for a living can have a cell phone.
I think that the poor should be given computers and internet access so that they can Twitter.
That way, we'll be able to keep tabs on whatever they are doing at that moment (144 characters or less).
Nope. It's real. A lady I know got one because she's on food stamps and disability (she had a hip replaced, but gets around fine). She gave it to her 6th grade son so he would have a phone, since she already had a Boost $50/unlimited account.
Yep. It's real alright. I want one (even if it is a shitty phone and you only get 60 free minutes each mo). /sarcasm
Perfect example of abuse. I'm sure you could qualify for one, being that your so fucking poor. Good thing your parents let you use their computer huh?
I think you missed the sarcasm in the post by JenyEliza, Lonestar.
Correct, but let's make sure we're on the right page when we talk about redistribution of wealth.Once again a pure indication of obama's attempt at redistribution of wealth. For all the left wingers, yes, obama is a bleeding heart liberal.
what is an exbox? a vagina you no longer have access to?

SafeLink is run by a subsidiary of América Móvil, the worlds fourth largest wireless company in terms of subscribers, but it is not paid for directly by the company. 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." The companies often charge customers to fund their contributions in the form of a universal service fee you might see on your monthly phone bill
it is about being able to monitor people activity's..it is easier than chipping everyone ..NSA would love it if everyone carried a cell phone.. there was a house for abused woman that was giving cell phones and unlimited local cell phone time to people that stayed there..woman where lying and saying there boyfreind was abusing them when they were in fact single and would stay there for a few days just to get the free phone and cell phone time

It's not paid for by tax dollars. But we are all paying for it indirectly through our phone bills.

A little more of an explanation would be appreciated, as I dont follow links that I dont recognize.
SafeLink Wireless is a government supported program that provides a free cell phone and airtime each month for income-eligible customers.
I would only be in favor of this for emergency use only (911)...and even that would be a stretch.
and ....This must be a joke
