So much ridiculousness in these comments.
If you want a better, stronger America, then you should be freaking excited about this program. Why? Because we have more jobs requiring a high level of education than we can fill. Why? Because we have horrible class divides and it's very difficult to get out of poverty. Why? Because of people with the Tea Party mentality who think that anyone who earns less than they do, is lesser, lazy, stupid, and unworthy of compassion or help.
We need to strengthen our workforce with skilled, educated employees.
If you don't see how this connects to the article, do some more research.
The cell phone has made controlling street drug sales so much more difficult for the police to deal with. It doesn't take much to imagine that virtually free internet will compound the issue.So much ridiculousness in these comments.
Here again, I suggest you come to my "hood", before you start running your mouth.. Nope, according to them, poor people are all subhuman crackheads, not fit to even enjoy LCD tv's, which BTW are much more affordable than ever before.
I'm aware of "poor working families", and I sympathize with them deeply. In this economy, the lower middle classes are being demoted to poor, people are losing their homes, and on. These are people that have actually had jobs, and I surely don't envy their predicament. You again are applying middle class sensibilities to people that are not worthy of that consideration.Never mind there are real, legit poor working class families, many not by choice; Thru loss of job, loss of spouse (main provider), or simply a family member whose medical expenses or bad investments have brought financial ruin.
Are you complaining more about my point of view(*), or the resale value of chrome rims? A $500.00 car, with 2 12" subwoofers, loud mufflers and a set of rims, if that's what it takes someone to delude themselves that they're worth something, by all means, knock yourself out. I'd consider it a personal favor if you wouldn't drive by my house with it. Of course, opposite opinions being what they are, I suppose I wouldn't be "entitled" to that level of courtesy, now would I?Affordable internet will enable easier access to online job hunting/online learning sites. Of course certain people simply want to prolong the existing state of condition, instead of applauding efforts to improve it.
"As far as "bad investments", 22" chrome rims are always bad investments"
I expected a languid response from such an obstinate point of view. It's called a hobby. Or is purchasing legal goods not a guaranteed right by our constitution? Who are you to judge & jury determine what is, or isn't a bad investment? If your hobby is playing computer games butt naked, is it a bad investment to buy a new cpu or memory? If your hobby is with cars, is it a bad investment to buy new tires or rims? Or does it only count when YOU think it counts?
Shame, the unadorned thought of "less government, more freedom" applies only to you but not anyone else, or other classes.

No, it isn't. The "right to purchase crap you can't afford unless you've sold drugs to pay for them", is not in any part of the body of the U.S. Constitution, its Bill of Rights, or any subsequent Amendment to to U.S. Constitution.I expected a languid response from such an obstinate point of view.

This is painfully naive, to the point of being symptomatic of a developmental disorder.Feeling bad or angry about people getting more than you is juvenile. Like a kid crying about his sister getting a bigger piece of cake than his. Being grateful for what you do have, that is the lesson I would try to pass along. Someday one of you angry birds may need a free worm and there is no shame in that. The shame is when there are no more free worms to be had so we are forced to eat dirt and die slowly, painfully.
No, you're full of s***, and Comcast can either collect off the government with your tax money, or use this as a business write off. They'll probably take a shot at both."This is painfully naive, to the point of being symptomatic of a developmental disorder"
I wouldn't expect someone with such a closed mind and heart to understand the seemingly twisted concepts of generosity and compassion. Nor have I ever heard of naivety being symptomatic of a developmental disorder, but then again the source of that comment is steeped in anger and resentment. So, if someone cares for their fellow human being and feels that everyone on this planet is obligated to help each other whenever able is naive, what does that make someone who is terrified and angry about all those naive folks acting on behalf of those less fortunate and feels utterly threatened by those being assisted? Talk about symptoms of a disorder. Take a look in the mirror friend, if you can tolerate it.
Peace
