Basically this program has NO budget so costs have spiraled "From 2008 to 2012, Lifeline spending grew from $821 million to over $2.1 billion, an increase of over 160%."

Sounds like a very successful program that many in need are benefiting from. I'm glad the USF I pay every month is being put to good use.
