Obama’s Budget – Coming To YOUR Cell Phone Bill

March 1, 2009

[via Engadget] Soon, we are all going to suffer higher cell phone bills thanks to President Obama’s 2010 budget, and the Worst Congress Ever™.

The President’s proposed budget for 2010 calls for an increase in spectrum license user fees from $50 million to $200 million, with further increases to $550 million over the course of the next decade, all of which would be on top of the billions carriers have already shelled out in spectrum auctions. A good way to bring in some extra cash? Yeah, probably, but considering that carriers will be more than happy to pass the increases on to consumers, let’s just be straight: it’s a tax.

But 95% of us are going to get a tax break.

    TAXATION BY AN INELIGIBLE PRESIDENT IS TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.

    NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE — WHO IS HE TO TAKE LAYERS AND LAYERS OF NEW TAXES FROM HARD WORKING AMERICANS?

    Thanks for commenting Ted. For future reference though, please feel free to refrain from using all caps as it is unnecessary. Also, please see here;

    Even if you take your birth certificate issue out of it, everyone should still be outraged by President Obama’s plans.

    A sign in the local 7-11 this morning above the cigs reads “Stock up now, taxes going up April 1″.
