since this thread deals with the deficit, i thought it was a good place to put this...now, my husband and i live out in the country, so we have satellite internet. right now, with the intense heat, we lose signal in the afternoons. hubby is fed up, went to the hughes site, and look what's on there:
Exclusive savings for eligible customers
You may be eligible for substantial savings with the help of the Recovery Act program.
In an effort to make high-speed Internet available to millions of Americans who don't have access, the Federal Government has made it possible for eligible households that qualify to get satellite Internet at a significantly reduced price. This limited-time opportunity is made possible with the direct assistance of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
Find out if your address is eligible to benefit from the Recovery Act program.
so...we're broke, but our taxpayer dollars are going towards high speed internet...unbelievable. wonder what james madison would say about that!
