Nothin' for nothin, but the “Obama phone” is the widely used — and misleading — nickname of a 28-year-old federal program known as Lifeline. It provides discounts, averaging $9.25 a month, on phone service for 13.3 million low-income subscribers. This program was started under Ronald Reagan, and the second term of George W Bush expanded into the cellular markets. I hate em, but the free phone issue gets blame across the spectrum. What pisses me off are the folks showing up for "free heat"
