“Without this program, 15 million low-income families would literally be choosing between feeding their children or going without a dial tone that potentially could save their lives and put them on a better economic path.”

We all make economic choices.

Perhaps some could choose between buying pot and buying a phone.

Perhaps some could choose between buying a 52 inch TV and buying a phone.

Perhaps some could choose between buying $500 tennis shoes and buying a phone.

Perhaps some could choose between having another illegitimate child and buying a phone.

I am sure that there are out there some people that literally can not afford a phone but I doubt that there are 15 million that could in no way pay for there own phone.

Time and economics have raced ahead leaving the Democrat largess peddlers in the dirt. You can buy serviceable cellphones for $5.00 AND buy call cards for $100 good for a year of service. If you don’t make any calls, and just keep them charged, your security is assured.
