i figured. he didn't know wtf assurance or lifeline was, he just kept saying "obama fone!"
...
I'm not sure if Assurance Wireless is the same as the Lifeline program. All I know if the handset they get appears to be a monolithic style Kyocera one. 🤨

i wasn't implying they are the same company (duh they're seperate), but they both provide similar service to qualifying low-income households. my point was, the dude i was talking to had no idea which one he had.

Are you sure you're not exaggerating? If not, remind me of why you, I and every tax payer are paying for his bill, when he doesn't even have the comprehension to recognize the service he's using. Why do we support the weak in such a way? Providing for food and shelter is one thing (although the federal government should absolutely never spend for those reasons; that is to remain the responsibility of the states), but a cell phone is absolutely not a necessity and there is no reason a government funded cellular service should be provided.

Whine, whine, whine, blah, blah, blah,,about what the government should and should not do is ever changing.

Sounds like you have an Obama phone, too.
I fought for my country. That's why I don't want my taxes paying for a cell phone.

Madlib is a pretty cool guy. Eh, makes things into poltical debate and doesn't afraid of anything

Why do the needy need cellphones? Why is the landline program not sufficient? A cell phone is a luxury. If I lose my income the first things to go will be the cellphone, cable and Internet. I really don't see a need for a cellphone charity OR cell phone entitlement program. 🙄
But 'obamaphone' is pretty funny 🤣
