Somebody got a new cell phone...

[indiucky]

and man is she ever happy about it...But seems a little angry as well...

and what exactly are "Fool Stamps"?

 

[lucky4034]

And there are people who think that "topics" are important in this debate. Romney (the scum that he is) should receive an f'ing medal for saying that 47% will vote for Obama NO MATTER WHAT.... At least he recognizes that his job is to convince the small portion of undecided voters because no matter what he says he isn't getting that ladies vote.



Anyone else feel safe know that THAT lady is driving this country towards a cliff? People ask me who I'm voting for and when I respond that I am NOT VOTING... they ask me why? Well... its because our voting system is completely f'ing broken. Whoever came up with the way we vote for President probably had no idea that they created a system that in the long run would FAIL.

Oh and btw... I wonder how much her phone cost the government? I'm curious since I am a college student who is breaking his neck this semester taking 21 credit hours (yep 7 classes) and just found out today that have received a WHOPPING $350 this semester from the government to cover my costs.

21 credit hours and $350... the rest will be coming out of pocket. I wonder if I was a low income, minority, female on "fool stamps" from Cleveland how much my ****ing Pell Grant would have been? Maybe I could have gotten one of them there fancy smartphones myself.

I can't wait until this place burns down to the ground so we can all go back to being equal

Just heard this clip on the radio. Gotta agree with you, lucky4034.

 

[other dave]

Oh Dear Lord we are SCREWED!

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Everybody's got their reasons, I suppose.

For some, it's fiscal issues. For some, it's social issues. And for others, it's about free phones.

God Bless America! Save us from ourselves....

Fool stamps, need anyone, ever say more?

"Fool stamps" ... Sounds right coming from her mouth. I have no corrections.

 

[JetGirl]

You mean how much it's costing taxpayers, right?
Well...just skim down through your bill and look for "Federal Universal Service Fund" and you'll find out.

Edit...

P.S. A quick search says these are other names for the same charge:

Federal Universal Service Fee
Federal Universal Service Fund
Federal USF - ADSL
FED USF - ISDN PRI
FED USF - CENTREX
FED USF - Special Access
Universal Connectivity Charge
Universal Service Carrier Charge

 

[lucky4034]

^Wow....

 

[pjcalla]

If anyone wants one...

Obama Phone


"In addition to the phone, which comes with voice mail, call waiting and caller ID, you will typically get up to 250 minutes of airtime per month. It’s not a lot of airtime, but anyone complaining should remember that service is made available to you for free, and is indirectly paid for by other Americans. In addition, most companies offer the ability to send and receive text messages."

Puke.

Eventually, the Dems will run out of other peoples' money. We are fast on our way to Greece. The prez' plan that the rich just pay a little more just won't work if the govt doesn't do its part and spend a little less.We are almost to the point that we have more entitlements going out than we have people working to pay taxes in. How long before the tax rate is jacked up like in France? How long before the definition of rich trickles down to begin taxing the middle class? Wealth is a finite thing. There hasn't been much creation of it here lately. It is all a big transfer game. There are only thousands of millionaires and billionaires. There are millions of thousandaires! It wont take long to pillage the rich, then who will be left? The average working taxpayer that's who. When it gets to the point that the average Joe is fed up, you can cancel Christmas for the poor, cause Joe won't care anymore. The poor will learn real quick that they better get up off there non working duffs and get to making some money or they will go hungry!

What of the businesses getting paid to provide these phones?

Well hell, for that matter I have a whole skid of paper just waiting to be printed on.

Send uncle sugar my way!!!!


That kind of crap needs to stop.

I'm not paying taxes so the government can give out freebies from "its" largess.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

What is the Obama Phone?

It’s true that government provides free cellphones to the poor and disabled people. But the Obama part is not true as Obama didn’t initiate this program. It’s on the run since the administration of Reagan.

Maybe it should be called the Gipper-phone then

I guess these types of things are covered by the "good and plenty" clause of the constitution?

Coming from another college student, I don't feel bad for you and your 21 hours...7 classes and not getting a Pell Grant to cover it. They won't cover it even if that woman wasn't getting her Obama phone. You'll get a maximum of $5550 per year and you can try to get it for 6 years. If you were part time last year (anything under 12 hours) you've been pro-rated. Even though you're taking 21 hours and if you were a minority/woman/low income, you wouldn't be getting 21 hours paid for by a Pell Grant. At my school, your Pell Grant would be 100% blown (possibly with a need for you paying partially for your books) in 1 seemster with 21 hours. That isn't including parking/lab fees/technology fees/other things most students don't use but pay for anyway. Also haven't met too many program chairs that would allow a student more than 18 hours because they know about the stress involved.

Do Obama phones come with embedded targeting technology for drone strikes?

But that would never receive the same type of reaction. Reagan had a hand in the program, as did Bush and Clinton...but if I can't bang my fists on the table and rant about Obama, I'm just not happy.

It's sad to think these people vote. And she will cancel out my vote. I can't shine living by a handout from the government as opposed to working my fingers to the bone for a better life. Remember, the problem with Socialism is sooner or later you run out of other people's money.

I think that should be attributed to Margaret Thatcher but can't remember for sure.
