It's very unlikely that cell phone subsidies for the poor were started
in the Reagan administration - unless the gov was spending thousands per
person on the cell phone technology of the '80s.

To be precise, telephone subsidies ("Lifeline") started under
Reagan, and became the cell phone subsidies we see today.


Then why did you state:

"I was referring to the cell phone subsidies for the poor, which
