So... yeah. You literally can get a luxury phone (i.e. a high end iPhone) GIVEN TO YOU ON THE TAXPAYERS' DIME! I mean... what the actual fuck? Do you guys know how much those phones cost? Why the hell should a welfare rat dependent on handouts be GIVEN a luxury phone the rest of us might have to work for months to afford a down payment on?
The original idea behind the lifeline was to give a basic phone good for, basically, emergency calls (ergo, a lifeline) in an age where pay phone were being phased out due to obsolescence, which was totally market based and was a smart idea by the Bush administration to extend to mobile phones. It was bare basic, though, not a shred of luxury to it. it did its job. Now, because of communists, the lifeline has been turned into an alternative phone service provider that gives you the same luxury phones and service that is quite a bit more than a save-your-life provision, which just encourages the ghetto rats and other cucks to stay in their shitty existence with no incentive to move past it.
Yea Forums, you are the last bastion of true conservatism. What shall be done?

Stop making shit up and kill yourself, circumcised neoliberal shill.
Parker Cook
MAGA, motherfucker! Time for another commie purge! Makes sense if we want the 50s prosperity back. The commies have to go!
Oh, you poor liberal cuck. you'll appreciate what we believe in in time.
Daniel Thompson
by the way, I happen to work for a company that has a lifeline department and I get a fucktonne of misdirected calls for lifelines. I've opened the profiles of a few and have seen them getting expensive luxury brand/model phones and are actually saying that they get these for free.... and well, I use "free" loosely, wince its MY taxes (and yours) paying for both their service and their expensive phones.
They are, not surprisingly, mostly entitled niggers.

addendum: or spics who don't speak English (or speak it with a heavy accent, suggesting illegal immigrants are getting welfare, despite liberals claiming they don't).
Levi Bailey
>Yea Forums, you are the last bastion of true conservatism don't confuse conservatism with contrarianism. no one with any political brains posts here, it's just shills and trolls. making memes poking holes in other's ideas while bringing no ideas to the table yourself is not actual political discourse. having a social conscience is the "hip" thing right now so of course all the angry children are going to RISE UP, assuming they have the anonymity of Yea Forums.
Eh. newfags are gonna newfag. But, I have seen a few intelligent fags here on Yea Forums. They don't pop up often, but they exist... I was kinda hoping I'd get another person and get some waves made, since Yea Forums has been a source of sociopolitical turmoil before, mainly because we're contrarian. The more I look into shit, the more the conservative side nags at me... *shrugs*
Obama is so powerful, he started the program way back when Reagan was in office.
William Hughes
I see that GED is working out for you.
Camden Richardson
kek, did I evoke some evil spirits by my banana phone posts a few days back?
Jaxson Clark
he's one sneaky time traveling negro
Caleb Butler
This, it was Reagan's program first and all that Obama did was update it to being a cell phone so people could, like, actually go out and look for a job and not miss phone calls for job openings while being out.
Brayden Adams
not really.... maybe... I dunno. lol!
Obama phone... banana phone.... monkey reference. yep. Seems legit.
actually, that was Bush that took Reagan's lifeline, which Clinton kept in place, and extended it to cell phones because of their emerging prominence and the correct prediction that they would render former personal telecommunications methods obsolete. Pay phone no longer exist except in a few far-between places and they are a mystery to kids these days.
thing is, under the Bush expansion of Lifeline, it was never meant to provide a $700= iPhone or Samsung. It was meant to give you a cheap, but usable phone for emergency useage. it was not flashy, did not have luxury options, and was not meant to replace a real commercial phone plan. You could use it to help you get a job or place an emergency call where pay phones no longer exist. Then, you got off of it along with every other bit of welfare when you make too much money.
sadly, cucks and niggers don't get that and those that do avoid making too much money and thus continue to live in squalor.
Aiden Howard
Blue states, where mah subsidized gubmint to keep our net recipient asses viable red states?
No sir. not with Access wireless. It's a lifeline and gives out expensive phones for free man. we're all paying for some ghetto slob getting a current iPhone. It's happening. I shit you not.
Luke Butler
Obamaphones ... program started by George Bush
DREAM Act ... program started by Reagan
Obamacare ... program devised and used by Mitt Romney.
But hey, that nigga in da White House so he bad.
William Cruz
what are you implying? To be fairer than I should be, socialists are actually rare and have no poltical sway. Socialism requires nationalization, which no major party is actually pushing for. And honestly, both Republicans and Democrats want the same size government, but want it concentrated in different places: Republicans want authoritarian government in the social sector (ie. the moral police, few business and economic regulations) and the Democrats want it in the Economic and business sector (with few moral regulations apart from gun control).
Libertarians want nearly no government at all and think corporations can govern better in most cases. The market works as a better regulator and the efficiency of large businesses works better than any government. therefore, the libertarian route is smarter.

>NO YOU CANT HAVE ABORTIONS MUH BIBLE!!!1! LISTEN TO YOUR GUBMENT >WHY IS THE GUBMENT MAKING DECISIONS, GIT OUT MY LYFE BIG GUBMENT every retarded conservative ever
hmm ... program created in 1985 under Reagan. Started with landlines for income-eligible people. Upgraded to cell phones under Clinton and expanded by Dubya. Continues to this day.
>but muh Obama
yes, repubicans really are retarded.
Nathan Russell
To be fair, We didn't like Obamacare when it was still Romneycare and the Heritage Foundation was almost made a political pariah for their original suggestion of the system. Obama basically took Romeny's version, liberal'd it up with more regulations on the Insurers than the source of Insurance cost with no public fallback option (which is why costs soared rapidly. he and his monkeyed up the healthcare market without understanding how it works).
The Lifeline thing was mainly a bush thing, but it existed under Clinton in a landline-centric form. It wasn't reagan that started that one. i stand corrected. it was Clinton. Bush later made it work for cell phones. Obama allowed luxury phones and better service to be available to welfare queens, though, which is why his name is now smeared all over it.
Shhhh. Reagan's my hero. He never did any wrong.
Zachary Campbell
see 1985, bro. Reagan Revolution all the way.
Hunter Long
Actually. Most libertarians are conservative. However, we're the ones who don't wanna regulate morals. Numbers 5:11-31 actually provides ZERO biblical leg to stand on for banning abortions. So, This conservative says "do it if you wanna"!
Nathan Campbell
All liberals are cucks, some conservatives are cucks. Anyone calling themselves a libertarian who doesn't understand that corporate is the future and corporate will be the new, more efficient government is a cuck.
Wyatt Sullivan
No you cant get a iphone you dumbass. They give u a simcard and a cheap ass 10 dollar phone
Easton Scott
It's going to be a bloodbath when the Western governments go broke and can no longer give 2/3rds free money/food/housing. Dark days are coming fast
