East Central SD | Oh - I feel so much better now after reading the link...
The Obama phone doesn't use taxpayer money for funding... it gets it's money from wireless telephone companies, wire-line telephone companies, etc, etc. and "the FCC doesn't require that the charges be passed on to their customers". Talk about spin, instead of a "tax" it's a line item on the bill. Either way I'm paying for another "government program" that is no doubt being abused. If the idea is to have 911 access make the phones "911 only" and see how popular they are. I'd be OK with helping pay for an elderly person to have a phone but I just wonder how many gold-toothed, multi-pierced "needy" people with ten kids and twelve boyfriends I'm "helping"...
Flame away but that's how I see it.
Edit - After reading my reply it probably boarders on boiler room material... also my apologies to OP for being off topic :-).
