The Award For . . . .

Universal Service Fund- code for welfare program of some type? Has that dirty ring to it.

welfare is a dirty word?

preamble to the constitution reads "promote the general welfare."

how insidious.

one percent for a phone bill doesn't mean a dang thing. i'd rather see a drop in the power bill anyway. we have the highest power bills of anywhere but connecticut and massachusetts. thank you deregulation.

Of course, the headline ought to go on and say--"and then again, it may not."

Dirty Ring??? Funny stuff. They may cut it 1%, but the tax they will charge for cutting it will more than compensate in the long run.

140 million dollar cut and I'm saved 2 dollars on the high months? There's a chupacabra in the woodpile summers.

With this savings and my tax incentive rebate, I will be able to buy a couple tanks of gas, that is, if the price will stabilize at 4 or 5 bucks a gallon.

Texas is the highest in the nation for paying the most for telecommunications service and being taxed at the highest rat as well. Does anybody want to thank Phil King?

1%?! why not be compatible with the nation and lower it by 12% at least.
