Free government phones for low income people and section 8. We the phone customers pay for it by a fee companies charge us. What's next....free cars for low income!

By gosh, the next thing we'll have is bailouts for the S&L and TBTF banks, that welfare is OK because they own the government.

They give free cars to low income families also. Keep complaining about it and you might be on welfare one day

Man, I heard from my nephew's babysitter's boyfried's mom's surgeon's husband that people on welfare get free month long holidays to the Maldives, as well as the keys to an apartment in İzmır.

This is not new, the "Obama phones" have been around for years. I can see both sides to this, it is probably 99% a waste of money, but on the other hand, people who legitimately are looking for a job really do need a phone. Overall, probably not worth the money.
