Digital TV and the Feds: Largesse with your loot. $40 and a fattened (nation of) calves to keep you a goggle eye
Feds unveil digital-TV subsidy details | CNET News.com
If that initial $890 million worth of coupons run out, NTIA has the power to ask Congress to hand over an additional $450 million, creating up to 11,250,000 more vouchers. Those coupons would be reserved, however, for households that self-certify that they rely solely on over-the-air broadcasts, as opposed to cable or satellite.
In short $40 to each family that wants to put money towards a set top converter which could so easily have been done by just giving a $40 off the taxes, you know for the people that fucking pay them! I’m surprised it’s not 100% rebate given the need by the state, the absolute need, for these crt cabbages that buy their low cal phosphorescent diet which are required to keep the illusion going. I think I’m bitter since I just had about 50% of the money I received in a bonus to pay off this kind of innovative theft 
You must all really really want this?

You are so negative, John. The state lets you keep 50% of your bonus and you snivel. A right-thinking person would be grateful.
