C'mon man! Fact don't matter when it conflicts with a plausible narrative. Let him continue to think he is providing free phone service to some undeserving minority and he'll continue to vote for trump. Amazing how that works! Trump and his ills figured that out a while back.
All he needed to do was google the Lifeline phone program to see when it was started (Reagan) and then expanded to include internet(Bush). He'd also learn that it's not funded by government or taxpayer dollars. Its donated service from the providers.
then they add it to your and everyone elses bill...an unvoted for tax on consumers to subsidize others..
