' (REAL husbands support their OWN families ) have three, they have internet, multiple computers, no jobs and are on welfare and WE get to cover the costs for them. Let's hear it for the benevolent DICTATOR!!! He INSURES that the 'down and out' (lazy scum) have their 'needs' (multiple cell phones, multiple computers, internet service, cable TV etc.) met. They are ENTITLED to those things AND YOUR hard earned money!

Call it an Obama phone if you'd like but it should really be called a Reagan phone. The exalted leader his majesty Ronald Reagan created the Universal Service Act in 1997 which set this program in motion.

That is correct. It is also correct that no one has made ANY attempt to reign in or eliminate these programs and that under King Putz the 1st they have expanded at a rate faster then his ego. The UAW has also stepped up their 'counciling' to insure that EVERYONE who is ENTITLED to live off others get the 'phones' (my niece has 3 of them) they so richly DESERVE. I am, after all, it's not HER fault she is an absolute lazy bum, who has made no effort what so ever to improve her chances of being employed and is FORCED to spend her hard earned welfare checks on tatoo's and piercings.
The cold hard fact is that 25% of the ENTIRE National debt has been amassed in the past 3.5 years.

Sorry, didn't enlarge. It is an article from a newspaper that tells of an auto burglary.
The lady states the car was locked and the purse on the back seat.
The stolen purse was valued at $400. The wallet was valued at $200. There was $800 CASH in the wallet. Also, her FOOD STAMP CARDS were in the purse!!!!!!
Sure glad us tax payers could help her out!

Yes, but the reagaphone was a landline phone. It wasn't until Bush included cell phones and started the recession that it really took off and became another problem inherited by Obama. So, bushaphone might be more correct.
I know Bush is an idiot but please explain how he started the recession? That's a new one on me!

Is it safe to assume that you have reported her to the proper authorities since only one per household is allowed?
How are people getting multiple phones?
The recession started in Dec 2007 and ended June 2009.
That would make it Bush recession.

The UAW has certain 'plans' worked out. They are ALL legal and WE are paying for them. They even have 'welfare and benefit counselors' in many UAW hall that provide that service FREE and also instruct on how to help Obama get reelected. The local there is now trying to get Michelle to pay them a visit. They may have to bus in some people to get a big enough crowd to have her highness show up. The minimum is 500 if I recall the story correctly. I was trying not to gag as her, her bum mother and father gushed about it.
Her father, my not good brother, has been a drain on the system for most of his sorry life. I think his FIRST stretch without a job, with two kids mind you, was 14 years. Neither him OR his wife finished high school and blame Bush for their failure. Of course, it would have been about '75 when he did not finish school so I can see how Bush caused their problems. Typical of welfare rangers and medicaid mammas. Nothing is EVER their fault.

I am of the mind that a president of our great nation WHO HAS INHERITED a mess, should - SHOULD - be able to clean up the mess within the 1st 4 years!!!!
When are you fools going to put the blame on this president for current- CURRENT- problems.
I guess Bush is to blame for the ambassador and the other 3 being killed?!
For the doubling of drone strikes around the globe!?
For the massive increase in our debt and spending?!
For the increased war in Afghanistan?!
For doubling the covert (CIA) war, globe wide!?
For the massive increase in food stamp and welfare spending!?
COME ON!!!

He didn't but it fit so well into the scenario.
This recession was bound to happen and there were many different events leading up to it. These things just happened to have culminated during the Bush administration.
It can easily be argued that the foundation for over spending was set by FDR With the New Deal then enhanced by LBJ with The Great Society. It then was allowed to become uncontrollable when Nixon did away with the gold standard and started the printing of money.
Reagan and Volker did a great job of wringing out inflation from the Carter disaster but went too far in the area of bank deregulation. Volker's replacement Greenspan admitted that they made a serious misjudgment in under regulating the financial industry because it allowed banks to become high risk investment banks with the ability to make up fraudulent investment products like derivatives, CMOs, CDOs etc..
Flash forward to the Bush administration borrowing for the war and starting new entitlements adding to the printing of money. Then the crash and the start of the bailout which was put in place just before Obama took over. Finally, the enormous mishandling of the stimulus programs under Obama.
In short, every single Modern President and Congress has added to the problem and the bomb finally dropped on Bush. Obama forgot that he was supposed to "change" things and the spending and printing continues.
That is just a broad summary of my opinion with a million details left out. What is yours?
Some are missing the point. It is true that it started with just the landline service under Reagan.
Don't forget, Carlos Slim is a Obama buddy. Now we have added cell phones and are currently adding internet under Obama.....not Bush. Have to look at ALL of the picture. The "gimmies" just got theres here last month. Don't think Bush is currently in the Whitehouse.

LOL! Mine is more basic. Politicians are criminals. Government is the cause of every problem NOT the solution. The ONLY possible answer is to VOTE ALL THE BUMS OUT! Including Obama and Romney! THEY BOTH SUCK TOO! Other than that they are all useless.
