        @WSJ Well that must mean we need a new government program to pay for rising phone bills. Let's call it #ObamaSpeak

        @WSJ Screw that. I dumped AT&T & went w/a $50-a-mo cell phone carrier. A phone is just not *that* important.

        @WSJ - Just goes to show how backwards people have their priorities. "Let's let the kids starve so we can pay for that iPhone5!" Ridiculous.

        @JeffSunStudio @WSJ - Same here: food and clothing are necessities, phones are a convenience. I only use my cell for (gasp) phone calls!
