Minority Got Obama Phone

They helped win an election by motivating the moochers who constitute Obama’s base. Now we are getting a look at the bill for ObamaPhones:

“The cost has gone from $143 million a few years ago to $2.2 billion today,” Republican Louisiana Sen. David Vitter said, noting that today’s cost is 15 times what it was.

Even some liberal Democrats are appalled by the waste:

Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Democrat from Missouri, was incensed when she got an offer of a free phone.
“I got solicitation for a free phone at my apartment, which is certainly not a building where you’re going to have people who are qualified for free phones.”

The Looter in Chief’s own FCC admits that hundreds of thousands have more than one ObamaPhone, and that the eligibility of 41% who receive a free phone cannot be verified.
The phones are popular with Obama’s base not only because someone else is forced to pay for them:

“I hear from law enforcement that these phones are often found at crime scenes and are used in drug deals,” Republican Rep. Tim Griffin of Arkansas said. “Why? It’s because you can’t trace them.”

Now the FCC wants to expand the program to broadband Internet. If not stopped, Obama et al. will literally spend the country to death.
