Free Phone Fiasco

Where in the heck do these people learn about these loop holes? I saw a news article about Obama-phones, but I never studied it any further. Evidently, there is a deep-rooted wish to give the poor a phone to dial 911. The original program gave poor people a free landline phone. The libs soon learned their clientele do not have permanent homes. It is hard to install a land line in a cardboard box or a stolen shopping cart.  Their solution was to add cell phones into the program. Evidently, the law is wide open to interpretation. Rumor also has it that one of the service providers is a crony of the President’s. That really isn’t relevant except that the more phones a provider has signed up the more money he makes. It is the redistribution thing at work. (A concept borrowed directly from Atlas Shrugged.)

Here is another thought to ponder. How many of these free Obama-phones get into the hands of Muslims who send them to Afghanistan for use as Improvised Explosive Device triggers?

I would not know where to go, who to ask, or what the qualifications are to get a free cell phone, do you? Yet, according to the news report in the video below there is a huge number of people who already abuse the program. The result is we, the paying cell phone user, are suffering the cost. If this doesn’t deserve a letter to your congressman nothing does. This issue is a no-brainer to shut off, but it is my guess that Congress will not repeal the bill. Why? Because the dumb-ass Congressmen don’t have the cojones to do anything to upset a vocal minority. Another reason, is that they look upon this program as a drop-in-the-bucket of the trillion-dollar deficit. Therefore, the effect of eliminating Obama-phones is insignificant, and not worth their precious time taken from reading/writing twenty-two hundred page bills. These same people probably won’t bend to pick up a penny from the street. I do, in my way of thinking I only have to pick up ninety-nine more to have a dollar.

Trillion Dollar Joy Ride

      My fellow citizens voted for Change thinking that the new guy would perform miracles and overhaul Washington game playing. What they got is a change for the worse. The administration is using tried and true tactics known to the players in Washington for decades. If the president needs a vote, he buys it. Why not? It has been done over and over and over again with great success in major democratic cities like Chicago, Boston, and New York.

     What gets me upset is the price that he pays for a vote. In one case he made a deal with the Senator from Nebraska that will cost billions. Another vote bought  in Louisiana cost a hundred million. The real corker though is the price he paid for the vote of Dennis Kucinich from Ohio. I consider Dennis to have the character of a tape worm. That’s a worm that grows in your intestine, and lives off anything that comes through the canal. Anyway, we now know that Dennis can be had with a simple ride in Air Force One.

What really troubles me is that Dennis seemed to be very convinced that he would vote “no” on the health care bill. He was very committed to having a public option. Somehow, he changed his mind on that ride with POTUS. Could it be that POTUS put a bug in his ear, that a public option is not far away because it’s buried in the 2700+ page bill?
