Free Government Sponsored Cell Phones

This is about as political I'm going to get, but after a friend of mine pointed this out, my gears were grinding. A LOT.

My gripe this time is Free Cell Phones for the poor. What? WHAT?!! They get free cell phone service, free minutes each month, they even get a free phone! But still, that doesn't seem like enough. Let's through in Free caller ID, call waiting, voicemail, and rollover! Apparently, the government is too busy updating Twitter to really think about what they are doing.

So let me get this straight: Now the people who actually DO work not only have to pay an obcene amount of their HARD EARNED money to pay for their own cell phone bills, but in addition have to pay our government so that they can provide that same LUXURY to welfare recipients? That's it. I was on the edge about this until now, but this has made my decision so much easier. Here is my plan...

I'm going to quit my full time job, cancel my cell phone plan, drop out of college, apply for welfare, enjoy the luxuries of that life for a while including a frickin' free cell phone, then save up all the extra money I receive through wellfare to buy a yacht and a small island somewhere in the pacific and live happily ever after. The end.

Again, I'd like to thank Brian from Brian's Thoughts for this tidbit of disturbing and downright disgusting news. Check out his thoughts on free cell phones.
