Why is the USDA paying for people to get high speed internet?

[sealybobo]

francoHFW is right. Why answer with childish name calling?

Why do RWs demand the US be behind the rest of the world on everything? Why can't we be best, for a change?

Lol
There is a reason why most every country is past the point of no return in debt... Your socialism costs too much...

Actually they doubled their debt just like we did to avert a full-blown depression in 2008 to 2009, and then had to use welfare programs and unemployment so people didn't starve to death. Great job by the GOP again- corruption is great isn't it? Of course half you brainwashed functional morons don't even know about the world depression your Heroes caused.

You republicans have successfully bankrupted the federal government with all the tax breaks to the rich and mor3 companies than ever don’t pay any federal taxes. Things are good but now taxes are being raised at a state level. And cuts being made to social programs.

So the rich shifted the tax burden more onto us yes? I guess they were paying too much and we weren’t paying enough.

The federal government has no claim to those taxes

The federal government shouldn’t be paying to give rural people high speed internet. Let free market capitalism work that shit out.

If hicks can’t afford internet do you want federal government handouts? Welfare!

Nowhere do I see the mention of Congress in the article. The House happens to be Democrat anyway, and no mention of Trump either.
.

The initiative that is the broadband came from Congress when it was controlled by the GOP. You keep blaming the left for it but it came from a GOP controlled congress and was instituted by Trump's USDA.

I have no idea what you wish to discuss. You're all over the board here. Are we talking about technology or saving food?

I am discussing your habit of blaming the left for all the world's ills while giving the right a free pass...even when the right did what you are whining about for the last 22 pages

I said leftists support this, not passed it even though it was a Vermont Congressman that sponsored the bill. I have no idea how the vote went down and can't find it anywhere on the internet.

However no matter what, at least some Republicans had to approve it since they were in charge at the time. And I'm against it. 21 trillion in debt and they added another over half-trillion so that hillbillies can have high speed internet. I'm against that no matter who passed it.

This is the problem in America today, and it's going to lead to our demise sometime in the near future. This vote buying and labeling everything a Fn necessity will be the end of this country yet, and we have nobody but ourselves to blame for not standing against waste of money like this.

Every other modern country can manage all this stuff, super duper.

Funny how broadband in Europe costs about $35 and is much much faster. Eastern Europe and Russia $10 and under. We better buck up!British broadband is the eighth cheapest in Europe | Finder UK

francoHFW is right. Why answer with childish name calling?

Why do RWs demand the US be behind the rest of the world on everything? Why can't we be best, for a change?

The definition of being the best to a left-winger like yourself is government providing you with everything. We on the right don't believe that's making us the best. We believe it's called dependency.

Bullshit and as RWNJ lies go really very lame.

More to the point is that you are saying that if a faster isp were available, you would not subscribe.

Agree that THAT is very RWNJ and its also just flat out stupid. Oh wait, that's RWNJ as well.

I might subscribe, but what I have is plenty fast now. And if I subscribed, I would pay for it, not American taxpayers.

They pay 87% of all collected income taxes. The rest of us 80% population pay 13%. And mind you, more than half of us don't pay any income taxes at all.

Thank you! This is republicans sucking off the federal governments tit. These farmers should pay for the laying of the lines out to their rural farms.

They can tell us all the reasons it’s a good idea and normally us liberals would agree but we can’t approve of federal tax dollars going to anti government republicans.

By the way, I’m starting to hear republicans float the idea of raising taxes.....on us middle class people.

Didn’t we tell you this would happen when republicans gave the rich and corporations those tax breaks? The tax burden will be shifted on to us you idiots. And you’ll be sold or convinced it’s ok and overdue. Watch

Yes, you "heard" that somewhere. CNN might I guess? MSNBC?

You do realize that if that happened, it would have to be introduced by the Democrat led House, don't you?

Another GOP myth. the big European countries are spending what we wanted them to... And taking care of 4 million refugees we caused. What a bunch of crap

He’s just being honest. He believes the rich pay too much and we/he doesn’t pay enough.

You will see. When republicans say our taxes need to be raised to pay for things, they will cry class warfare if we suggest undoing the unfair tax breaks the gop gave to the rich. So the gop will raise our taxes. It’s called shifting the tax burden.

And he clearly thinks the rich pay too much.

Now I’m sure he will come back and say the poor should pay more.

The internet is a vital piece of national infrastructure in this day and age.

You don't move out to the sticks to be part of the newest trends and technology. Just like you don't move downtown of a city for peace and quiet.

You can have broadband in the sticks if you do a little infrastructure research before you buy.

How?

Find the nearest/best broadband carrier and request a map of coverage.

I used to sell satellite and dish and DirecTV and I have no idea what you're talking about. We have to invest like other countries do or we will fall behind. We already have in many ways. Thanks GOP

I dropped cable TV like 9 years ago, because I think it sucks. I do require broadband internet, so when building my house I worked with the local broadband provider to install a new node so I have 150mbps hard wired to my house in the sticks.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

My point is that generally, people move to these rural areas because they really don't care about having the latest technology. They move to these areas for the small town environment, peace and quiet, and perhaps having land where they can raise farm animals and shoot their guns whenever they darn well please.

Yep. That's me. And I have the best of both worlds. 150 mbps hard wired into the middle of nowhere.

The provider and I put in a new data link cabinet on my property (box) that's hard wired to their fiber optic network. The link from the cabinet is piped to my house. It's the furthest (and last) node in this particular area of coverage. Should someone decide to build a home nearby, this node will service them as well, as satellite is kinda useless out here.
