    Congress can send billions I foreign aid but not help the American people here. Totally ridiculous!!

    This program is VERY important and NECESSARY, not only to families with limited income, but especially to elderly and disabled people, who cannot get out easily and rely HEAVILY on their phone and/or internet to contact their doctor, get medications, call for transportation, contact family members, and many other things.
    This program includes PHONE and /or INTERNET services, which MOST people now REQUIRE to keep up with LIFE !!!
    Congress think twice before cutting the people off or we will consider cutting your political career OFF !! We will not consider you for re-election. YOU are to help and LISTEN to your constituents, wealthy or poor, which you are NOT doing!
    YOU ARE NOT DOING YOUR JOB !!!
    $95 Billion for OTHER countries, but NONE for US citizens ... WRONG !!

      If only there was something called a job, you should go and figure out what that is. Maybe you could actually pay your bills instead of being a burden on society.

    Every state is ending their "affordable connectivity" program. Why not just make the prices lower so that everyone can get some relief! You just can't catch a break anywhere in life anymore. Everyone wants a piece of their "monthly nugget" for just about everything you do just to survive! It's just crazy. Regulations are needed badly in every single sector. Full stop.
