    This program was paying for my cell phone bill. Had a $30 plan so it was being fully covered. Now it’s just one more bill on top of all my other bills I can’t afford.

    For $30 a month it was making sure I always had the ability to work or find work. Without a phone it’s impossible to get hired anywhere. It’s not like minimum wage jobs will email you about your job application nor will they want to hire an employee that they can’t contact.

    This was straight up a net benefit for the economy and just like the child Tax credit it’s gone. How are Democrats not able to make policy and keep it in place…

      They can’t keep it in place because they don’t control both chambers in Congress
