Conservatives must make inroads into these socialist enclave governments.

it’s because the phone conversations of these recipients with one another are bound to be so cerebral, that a cure for cancer and the discovery of cold fusion are sure to follow.

The Universal Service Fund (USF) was created by the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1997 to meet Congressional universal service goals as mandated by the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

No, Jim, it is a new Welfare program being maintained off the government's books with higher rates for paying customers being a hidden surrogate tax. The government has been doing this for decades. All government mandates on business are off-books tax collection and welfare programs. The new ObamaCare birth control mandate is another one.
