And this is exactly how wealth re-distribution works. Money is taken right out your packet in cell phone fees that you pay for, so that other people can have free cell phones.
So cell phones are now another entitlement program.
But, here is an extra kick in the ass for those of us who are the productive people in society. In know several people that have gotten the free phones, and in all these cases they also have 2 or 3 phones that they pay for.
So this has nothing to do with the poor having access to cell phones. This is about Progressives/Liberals buying votes with other people’s hard earn money!

Critics have rounded on a government plan that provides millions of poor Americans with free cell phones - calling the scheme a 'waste' in tough economic times.The $4 billion a year Universal Service Fund - which provides the poor, schools and library's with free phones - is paid for by telecommunications companies.
The cost is then recouped form the average American bill payer, who has a 'universal service' charge added to their cell contract every month.
Speaking to the Pittsburgh-Tribune Review, Robert Rector from conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation said free cell phone programs 'particularly wasteful and unnecessary,' given the current dire economic situation.
He said: 'Our society cannot afford to give free everything to everybody.
'Most poor people already had adequate telephone service and will continue to do so.'
