The federal "Lifeline" program was created during the Reagan Administration. Lifeline is a federal program created by the Reagan era Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1984. The program was enhanced under Telecommunications Act of 1996, which was supported on a broadly bipartisan basis in Congress. The FCC’s Low Income Program of the Universal Service Fund, which is administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), is designed to ensure that quality telecommunications services are available to low-income customers at just, reasonable, and affordable rates. Lifeline support reduces eligible low-income consumers' monthly charges for basic telephone service. SafeLink phones are not paid for by taxpayers or the federal government. TracFone Wireless pays for the phones and also the cost of promoting its SafeLink program to make sure that eligible consumers know about the program.

They've shown time and time again they're not interested in the truth. Indeed, that's the ONLY thing anyone should be interested in.

Obama didnt sign this law. You are, once again, under the mistaken belief that a President can just make any ole law illegal with the simple act of his signature alone.

Calling it an Obama Phone in your OP is what has lead many to believe that is what you were implying. If you dont like the implication, then make yourself clearer.
