Did You Get One

Hey Everybody, did you get yours? I bet you forgot about this.
I didn't think they would send one because..........I don't need one! I have Dish! This is crazy?

Trivia questions.

What is 2.6 million?

Number of households that requested converter box coupons.

What is 5 million ?

Number of converter box coupons requested.

What is 200,000,000

Amount of tax dollars for T V Converter box coupons. Remember that is 200 million dollars!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe someone else is picking up the tab on these.

What is 9,700?

Number of retailer locations who will be selling the converter boxes. Someone is making a buck!

Information taken from Link to United States of America Department of Commerce

Bottom line,
Who really needs these?
Who is paying for these?

Talk about government waste! Information could change, Chamber of Commerse information was from Feb. Not sure how many grandmas need a converter box. Wait, what happens if people didn't know about this and the program expires. Any guesses what government will then just buy people a free T V? You bet it is going to happen. Who will be disenfranchised. Will Jim Doyle raid the transportation fund again to buy everyone a free T V .
I bet it won't be a 14 in.
Come on, yea baby a 32 in would look good on a lot of walls!
Anyone care to comment.
