I never understood this government program until now.

Now you know why I complain about free phones all the time. I've seen it all go down, they set up and hand them to anybody who walks up. Many of the free phone recipients actually have more than one phone, and the program is a cash cow for all manner of unscrupulous gamers in both government and banking.

The cost of the program is shared between government payouts (tax dollars) and a surcharge added to the monthly bills of every legitimate consumer of the cell phone industry. Which just means paying customers actually pay three times. Once to the cell provider, once to Uncle Sam. And once for ourselves, don't ever think the Dems don't know all about it.
