The government program called Lifeline, which was started back in 1998 to help low-income families get home phone service, was expanded under Obama’s great expansion of government to now provide free cell phones and free monthly service plans as well as home phone service, and watched as the price of the program ballooned from $772 million in 2008 to over $1.6 billion in 2012.

Unfortunately YouTube has removed these videos from their platform to hide the truth from the American People. Another coverup with the help of Google/YouTube.

“A 2011 audit found that 269,000 wireless Lifeline subscribers were receiving free phones and monthly service from two or more carriers. ”
So not only is Obama giving each of these people cell phones and service for free, now he is giving many of them multiple free cell phones including free service for each.

We, and many before us survived for many years without the NEED for a cell phone, and we think the cellular expansion of the Lifeline program should be stopped soon – especially allowing people to play the system for multiple phones.

The video of an Obama supporter bragging about having an “Obama phone” has gone viral on the web, but where do these “free cell phones” come from?

The program is called Lifeline, established in 1984, originally created to subsidize landline phone service for low income Americans, funded by government-collected telecommunication fees, paid by consumers.

In 2008, the program was expanded to support cell phones which quickly escalated the cost of the program. In 2008 the program cost $772 million, but by 2011 it cost $1.6 billion.

A 2011 audit found that 269,000 wireless Lifeline subscribers were receiving free phones and monthly service from two or more carriers. Several websites have been created to promote “free” government cell phones, including the”The Obama Cell Phone” website at Obamaphone.net.

Rep. Tim Griffin R-Ark. has proposed a bill to eliminate federal subsidies for free cell phones and has produced a great YouTube video highlighting the runaway cost of the program. The program has also been highlighted for reform by Senator Claire McCaskill D-Mo.

Pressure to reform the program led the FCC to announce an effort in February to “reduce the potential for fraud while cutting red tape for consumers and providers” by the end of 2013.
