Just got my monthly phone bill, I noticed it had gone up 7 cents. Why? The Federal Universal Service Charge had gone up "due to a recent FCC decision." What is the Federal Universal Service Charge? Why it is a program designed to "keep local telephone rates affordable."
Leave it to the government to increases costs in order to make something more affordable. My phone bill is $16, the taxes and government fees are $8.48. So government taxes and fees are now over a third of my total bill. Gawd I love the government!
