Cell Phones for All

I thought this was a joke when I read it on American Thinker.  I would be wrong. The government (that would you and me), is currently offering free cell phones including 68 free minutes per month through a program called SafeLink:

From the SafeLink website:

We are currently offering service in parts of Alabama, Connecticut, DC, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin with plans to begin offering service soon in the States listed below.

 and coming soon to:

 Arizona. Missouri, Puerto Rico, Texas, Kentucky, and Washington

Exactly where is the money coming from for this??  Oh yeah, right. You and me!
