What do they call it when you pay people to vote for you... There's a word for that, right?

Juvenal in Satire X wrote about the danger of bread and games (or bread and circus) politics. It applies today.

That is of course incorrect.

Do you want to know the truth ?

Its been around for a lot longer than that.

Why take the word of a self avowed liberal democratic activist (the author of the above article) ?

Why not go to the horses mouth ?

"The program expanded to include cell phones in 2008 2008. The number of Lifeline beneficiaries rose from 7.1 million to 12.5 million during the same period; cell phones account for roughly half of that 12.5 million."

ObamaPhones Profiting ObamaDonors


The "universal service fee" was sold as a bill of good to the American public for the purpose of bringing out of the way rural areas phone service. It looks like it was expanded in the Bush era (not sure if by GW himself of congress, with GW signing it obviously) to include subsidizing landline service for low income households.

Another perfect example of how once an entitlement gets put in place it grows out of control and becomes impossible to get rid of.

Since when did phone service become a right? If the aim is provide access to emergecy services to those without phones why not give them phone that can only dial emergency numbers?

Because that isn't good enough to buy a vote with.
