It's way past time for leaving unchallenged the use of obfuscating language like this, which is especially irritating when it comes from the Heritage Foundation. Funds like this don't foot bills for anything, taxpayers pay a tax that taxpayer-paid bureaucrats confiscate and then pay-out to preferred political supporters. Want to know why your cellphone bill is so high? Ironically, if one were able to remove the cost of financing this confiscation from the economy and honest, "poor" working people would be able to afford cell phones.
And it's about time for this "official poverty" level to be tossed. I've yet to see a single program that didn't use an actual hurdle above 100 percent, usually 200 percent.
I’ve never sent a text message because I didn’t see the value in it. I guess I just have to go on welfare so I can see just how important texting really is.
It works great on the iPhone. I use it when I don't want to talk to someone on the phone but need some information. I mean, if I want to get off the phone with my brother in a hurry -- forget it ... LOL ...
So, he's a prime candidate for a text message, doncha know... :-)
I’d give it another once-over. If there was only one call, you’d hear the screams about it from there. That sounds rather iffy. Who knows though..., you may be right.

If you look at the stats posted up at the top, it is hard to say we have anyone who is really "poor" in this country.
I look at all the truly poor people in the Third World. What they live in is true poverty, and it is nothing close to the living standards of the average welfare recipient in this country.

In Texas it was 68 minutes total... and like I was saying above, I can't get off one phone call with some of my relatives in 68 minutes... LOL ...
Another leach off of the hardworking people of America.
Having any kind of designer handbag and getting a free phone is a sign of the government misspending my funds.
I hope you know the “poor people” who show up for these programs are often dressed well and driving a newer SUV.
Many many people in this country are living big off the system.
How about people who drive their cars to get groceries with food stamps?
I'll bet the US is the only country where that happens.
Your tax dollars at work. Perhaps soon the government will begin to issue social secretaries and even butlers, while demanding that everyone else pony up for the cost.
