I've said it before and I will continue to say it..
"GET OFF THE CROSS!" you selfish &*$&#Q(*
"YOUR hard earned money? I suppose that your few dollars, to which you've benefited from over and over and over again gives you authority to claim it's "your money"...
Do you EVER read? This money is coming from the sale of the spectrum ...
We talk about being the greatest nation on the planet. Some people often compare this country against crap holes like China because of their incredible broadband - yet they slam them for their treatment of their people.
Do you not give a crap about your fellow person who may not have the life you do? Do you not care that some people live in crime ridden areas simply because they can't afford anything better? How about those that literally scape to eat.. their TV is the only form of a hint of entertainment and you want to remove deny them of that?
You disgust me!
You live in America.. we're better than that! Now ask yourself.. how much of that $40 is supposedly yours to begin with.
If you don't qualify to receive the coupon - then stop your complaining.. you're doing just fine with out it. Next I bet you will bitch that people who really need it actually get medical treatment on "your hard earned money".. I mean, HOW DARE we take care of those who are not as fortunate.
It's called compassion and it's called America. Act like you live in it.

are you sure about that ?
I know those 'conservatives' would like to get their hands on some spectrum, and are sweetening the pot to get those old analog junkies off. E.g. I'm sure people that will be hurt when their cable splicing at the curb days end as well as their bootleg cable. |

You don't need TV to live so no they can't have the $40. Programs like this reward people for failing.
Yep I can get cable being as I work hard for my money they can do the same the end. |

"Take from Group A give to Group B, your Democrats hard at work",
Except for the fact that Republicans had been in power during the time these rules were set, even presided over the cable deregulation bill in the mid 90s that raised rates for everyone. Previously you didn't have to pay for the local, over the air channels, but thanks to the REPUBLICANS who were in office, now you do! Neat eh?
Imagine what would happen if congress decided to switch over to a new breed of car fuel. Anyone who has an older petrol based engine would have to spend 100$ to upgrade to handle the new fuel, no doubt angering tens of millions, having a rebate cushions that blow, but it would still piss people off. |

I agree with TopDawg on this one; comparing TV and medical services is quite a stretch. As for TV being the only way these folks can entertain themselves, well, I just have to thank God I was born after 1947 when entertainment was invented. The previous 40,000 years or so of human history must have been terribly boring with absolutely nothing fun to do... |

the article clearly states there are no income limits...so why would you say you don't qualify to receive the coupon... |
|
| reply to tpac_man
How do you not qualify? All American households qualify, and if you're not American, well, at least it's not your government wasting money. |

Boxes are expected to cost between $50 and $70 apiece.
That's to much money and I don't even care if they are handing out coupon's. The price for these boxes should be $20.00 or less if they are forcing this on to people. |

Re: Yes OH yeah to people who say poor people should get them for free cause they got nothing else to do. Well maybe they can spend less time watching TV and more time looking for a job.
You can also go the the library and get a book on something to improve yourself for today's work force. Unless you need it to live people should never be given anything for free. Also they on;y get the items they need to live if they deserve it and earn it. |

They've already pulled this fuel replacement stunt and, if you were using the old fuel, it required you to buy a new car to use the new fuel. Unless you are real young and were not alive (or at least driving) when it happened you should be able to remember LEADED Gasoline and its being banned to force you to switch to the new UNLEADED fuel as well as replace your LEADED fuel using car with one that used UNLEADED fuel. |
