Yeah, WTF? Why the hell is the government handing out cell phones? Cell phones are a WANT, not a NEED. Make people get their own phones…maybe then the extra $20+/month from each person who wants a cell phone might help our economy a bit instead of the Government spending (likely) millions on a program to give free phones to people.

WTF?

> There is no “Obama phone” or other newly created federal program to provide free cell phones. As you may know, this is a myth that is now circulating on the Web via email and blog sites. It has been thoroughly debunked by independent groups. (See for example: [FactCheck.org](http://FactCheck.org) at [The Obama Phone? - FactCheck.org](http://www.factcheck.org/2009/10/the-obama-phone/), which notes: “Low-income households have been eligible for discounted telephone service for more than a decade. But the program is funded by telecom companies, not by taxes, and the president has nothing to do with it.”

Thanks for that. I don’t care if the telecom companies blow their money, but I’d be pissed if Laquanda was getting a free phone just cause she could. That’s piss me off.
