Why do people on Welfare get Free Cell Phones? - GoFuckYourself.com

KillerK · 02-02-2011, 01:07 PM

SafeLink Wireless is a government supported program that provides a free cell phone and airtime each month for income-eligible customers.

Can someone please tell me why my tax dollars are paying for them to have a cell phone?

96ukssob · 02-02-2011, 01:16 PM

never really understood how other people can go out and spend my money without asking

You usually need a phone# to get a job, maybe that's the rationale? If they don't have landlines...

SafeLink phones are not paid for by taxpayers or the federal government. TracFone Wireless pays for the phones and also the cost of promoting its SafeLink program to make sure that eligible consumers know about the program.

Would be nice if these generous communication companies would stop charging me $30 a month for landline service while constantly stripping services. They just dropped my *69.

Safelink has to be making a killing on selling minutes once the free ones run out on the phone

pornguy · 02-02-2011, 02:06 PM

Who do you think owns or sits on the board of Safe Link.

Wizzo · 02-02-2011, 02:36 PM

I actually looked into this and learned it was a law that Ronald Regan passed that provides basic phone service to the poor and it wasn't until about a year that FCC ruled that it could be a basic cell plan instead of just landline because the cells were cheaper.

Yeah America seems to give away as much as the UK when it comes to welfare.

Me and my girlfried work hard to pay for a huge mortgage etc, yet her friend gets her house, taxes, and loads of other shit all paid for her because she "claims" to be a single parent out of work, when really she does work and has a boyfriend staying with her who also works full time.

Makes you think "what's the point ??"

PornoMonster · 02-02-2011, 03:08 PM

That is the story here also.

I have freinds that work the system, and it is a full time job, lol.

Markul · 02-02-2011, 03:13 PM

If you are a single mom in this country, you don't have to work. Actually working entry level jobs means less money after taxes than being on welfare. Go figure.

Welfare needs to be reformed AGAIN, they just make new loopholes for people to abuse and thats what they do

CamTraffic · 02-02-2011, 04:18 PM

They can have a free phone and the free 250 mins they get as long as the govt subsidizes my phone bill for that much too.

When you allow some questionable social programs, you get all the ridiculous ones.

mynameisjim · 02-03-2011, 12:48 AM

This thread title is enough to stir up my self righteous indignation.

Whatever we are talking about really pisses me off!!

Machete_ · 02-03-2011, 02:50 AM

So the government can track their location.

Machete_ · 02-03-2011, 04:50 AM

Here's another good one:

Darkies in Houston get 3-story public housing units with flat screens, a workout room, granite counter tops, computers.

Quote:

Posted 2/3/2011 12:11 pm HOUSTON - From the exterior of Kennedy Place, it looks like any other upscale apartment complex.

Inside you'll find faux granite top counters, a matching refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and an alarm system. Move over to the amenities room and there are flat screens in the lounge area, computer and workout rooms.

Upscale Apartment Complex ... with a Twist

The only thing different about this apartment complex: it?s public housing .

Sheila Johnson has lived at Kennedy Place for that last seven years. She remembers when it used to be a 30-year-old building with lots of crime.

But after $11 million in renovations, there are three-story units with balconies. The stimulus package contributed $8 million to those renovations.

Mixed Feelings About Renovated Apartments

The renovation of Kennedy Place is getting mixed reviews from those outside of the complex: mainly a young, mobile crowd. Officials and advocates say the renovated facility is not too good for families hoping get a helping hand in life.

So far, 20 of the 100 units have been filled. There is a waiting list and your qualification and rent payment depends on your income.

Same reason they use their Health and Human Services card to buy food.. then get into a brand new Denali.

Because they can....

DWB · 02-03-2011, 05:53 AM

They need cell phones cause it helps them sell drugs.

TCLGirls · 02-03-2011, 05:59 AM

So someone posts something that is obviously false, and Sly proves it i false....yet everyone piles on and continues whining about the false belief that the US Government is using tax dollars to buy for cell phones for welfare recipients. lol

Yeah.. they are not buying phones but they are using the funds from the USF charge and lifeline to subsidize companies such as this one. Worked in telecom for 10 years... thx.
