(Obama supporter)This woman is not only stupid she should be the Poster Girl for American Public Education. Not a dime to Teachers UNIONS!
Ohio, America needs a real change - not another four years of this nonsense.

Before they tell me about eliminating ineligble recipients, perhaps someone can explain why anyone is eligble for a cell phone at my expense.

I am unable to have a cellphone and I need one for emergencies, said Aliesa Azbill of Dayton, who is in a work training program at Community Action Partnership. She said the 250 free minutes she gets per month through SafeLink isnt enough to use it for much more than emergencies. How much time is 250min? 4 hours? She has 4 hours of emergencies each month?

This woman has so many emergencies that 250 minutes per month aren’t enough?

They haven’t “saved” any money. They’re just maybe pissing away a little less than they were.

250 min a month and she uses it all up for emergencies..Good Lord how many emergencies is this chick having? First of all, using 911 on your cell phone is free, it doesn’t take up any amount of minutes so this lady is full of it..and this is what is wrong with our society today, you give these idiots free goodies and they beg for more

It’d be a heck of a lot cheaper to just mail a twenty dollar tracfone card with their welfare check once every quarter. Oh, wait, that’d require them to monitor their use of airtime like those “fools” that pay for a phone do.
Never mind.

The program in Ohio cost $26.9 million in the first quarter of 2012, the most recent data available, versus $15.6 million in the same timeframe in 2011.
In case anyone is curious as to how this gets paid for, check your phone bill. I have two charges on my bill (for three phones) one is for Oklahoma Universal Service ($1.65 per month, and one is for Federal Universal Service ($2.64 per month).
But more interesting to me is the extraordinary number of phones in Ohio. Ohio has roughly 3.7% of the US population, but they have a little over 6% of the program's free phones. Now I am sure that the difference there has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Ohio is a crucial battleground state.
So, just in case anyone has missed the point: If you have a cell phone that you pay for, you are buying votes for Obama.

That makes sense..we all know that liberal women only care about one thing, getting free birth control and free abortions. Maybe some of those “emergency” calls are to Planned Parenthood
