Another govt program program full of waste, fraud, and abuse that should be eliminated. That's over 2 billion a yr that could be saved right there...

The program is a good program - throwing a few vendors in jail will solve a lot of problems.


On the other hand, the unneeded F-35 project would fund this program for 500,000 years.

And exactly who is going to throw these vendors in jail?

The FBI?

Why? Because it gives away something for "free" that isn't a necessity, many to people who aren't even eligible or don't really need it, many of whom lie to get it and often get multiple phones?

You think the F35 program would fund this 2+ billion a yr program for 500,000 years? :dunce:

F-35 cost, over it's life, will be 2 TRILLION Plus

And in our society, yes, a phone is a necessity.

I guess you are too caught up in your hysteria to understand that yes, the fraud and waste needs to be cut.

Recent Reuters article claims F35 program to cost 392 billion.

Even if your claim of 2 trillion is true, your claim of 500,000 is off by over 1,000.

A car is a necessity for many people too. Hell, why not give a car to everyone also... :ohno:

How about a house or apartment for everyone also. Pay for everyone's food supply.

Hell, everyone just quit what you are doing and let the gov take care of you and all of your needs.... :tothehand: :dunce:

Oh really? And when will they find the time to do this? And what would you have them NOT focus on/enforce while theyre chasing phone vendors?

For that matter, which federal attorneys will prosecute the cases of these scofflaw phone vendors? The same ones who prosecute copying DVDs?

BTW- a cellphone is NOT a necessity, especially if you are supposedly too poor to buy one on your own. It isn't like you need to reach your broker on a moment's notice.

I'm not so sure about that. Not that I'm an Obama fan or anything (I'm certainly NOT), but this isn't an Obama program. This program has been around in one form or another since Reagan.

Of course, the idiots like to proclaim that "Obama" did it for them. Sorry. He had nothing to do with that, except for, perhaps, not axing it....

When has any entitlement ever be "axed"?

A phone might ne a necessity, but a cell phone isn't. After all, how did people survive in the 90s without cell phones and prior without :roll: I know I certainly did, using land lines and the occasional pay phone...

This program isn't about cellphones it's about making sure every single person in the country is traceable.

Cell phone = tracking device = data fed into the NSA = 100% of Americans can be constantly monitored.
