Warren said she will create a federal Office of Broadband Access that will manage an $85 billion grant program.
Warren said she will create a federal Office of Broadband Access that will manage an $85 billion grant program. The grants will be awarded to electricity and telephone cooperatives, nonprofits, tribes, and municipalities that pledge to bring high-speed internet to underserved areas. Applicants will be required to offer internet speed at 100 megabits per second — fast enough to download a two hour movie in a little over two minutes — in addition to at least one discount internet plan.
"One of the best tools for unlocking economic opportunity and advances in health care, like telemedicine, is access to reliable, high-speed Internet. In the twenty-first century, every home should have access to this technology — but we're not even close to that today," Warren wrote.
she love to spend other peoples money!!!! she is a fraud!!! incites violence like the Dayton KILLER!!!!
I can do a lot of cool shit with other people’s money, too.
Liberals have an endless money supply apparently.
So we give all our money to government and government gives us what they want us to have. Sounds like prison.
Finally an idea that has merit.
I would think I would cost more...
Keep the government out.
There are enough private and charitable entities working towards this goal. Tax dollars are not required.
Liberals have turned expenses into investments and govt control into free universal items. Masters of the the thesaurus
Which candidate is gonna offer free pizza fridays? Running out of things to give away. Isnt it illegal to buy votes?
Rolling back student loans? Great. High access internet for every house? Delightful. Who are you? A wonder woman?
She has lots of plans.
Who is going to pay for all this shit she is proposing?
Let the government run everything 🙄
She sure has a lot of expensive plans.....smh
She wants Huawei.
She has a money tree!
She’s Wonder Woman ! Everything free ! “Just vote for me “ ...
mr_jettlife hm
i’m not paying for that
She is funny.
Which candidate can promise the most spending
Universal access to information is extremely important, I'm glad to support her 💙
Pocahontas has a plan, that won’t, can’t and will not work, foe everything.
Another freebie compliment of Lizzy Warren. We r so blessed of getting so many presents from this generous lady. OH WAIT!! US taxpayers are actually paying for it, and, ... I’m a US taxpayers. Darn it, I’ll pay my own HS internet Lizzy, thank you very much.
High speed internet is a human right!
FREE WARREN!
I only want to discuss if it’s free. Otherwise, not interested
realDonaldTrump if Warren get elected,she will bankrupt America. We will have a depression like stock market crash and end of America as we know it. China will eat us alive. All the nasty nations will attack since we will kiss their ass and bow down while they chop our heads off
Govt run internet....what could go wrong?
Carried out will be united more again because what is the bottom of the need for each other as if country wants to follow the rhythm of the even from where rare if the country wants to clean democratics to the end of the world doomsday
Just wait for Starlink from elonmusk and SpaceX.
Money is no object for her. You want it, you got it!
I would love to add up the cost of her presidency.
She's a flake
I'm thinking of ordering a pizza. Does ewarren have a plan for that?
😂😂 what the fuck? High speed internet is what she’s talking about right now?
The democratic primary seems like it’s going to be how candidates can spend other people’s money.
Who gives a crap!
Actually read the article. I suggest everyone else do the same before commenting. It’s a much more reasonable idea than what’s implied in many comments.
What next? Free roads with luxurious traffic signs and signals? And then who knows, people will call for free magical response teams who put out fires.... if you hate every idea that costs money except tax breaks this is how you sound
What isn’t she planning on paying for ?
That’s what’s wrong with the world today computers and shit taken over they may one day turn on you
Let’s go big girl!! Bring in the “free” stuff!!! Economic illiterate or scammer?
Uncle Mo: Go away already - at high speed!
ewarren is offering a bold vision for America’s future. Some may work some may not. But if you want the job, you had better go big or go home in the post Trump era.The carping I read in response is those willing to just settle for a cranky defeatist future of low expectations.
That's peanuts. Google makes that in about three months
Is this 5G? Because, I don't want cancer
Think how fast internet access will be and how much will be saved with a new government office running things, said no-one ever. Socialismkills
What can’t this woman do?
spectrumsucks
louis2nd Priorities, priorities.
Mrs Santa Claus 🎅🏽 is wearing the right color !
She’s smoking crack There’s places near where I live that still don’t have cable and can barely get 3-5 mbps
If I didn’t have to pay Xfinity $93.67 a month for very basic internet service (no TV, no phone—just cheapest internet possible here)—I could buy real groceries—maybe a filet of cod or a head of fresh broccoli — instead of living on canned beans, ramen, rice, and canned spinach!
NolHaz thoughts?
YES!
Sounds good. Another way to level the playing field for all Americans. It sounds like a huge house remodel...it totally sucks while it's going on but in the end you're happy you did it. No pain, no gain.
Can we first make budget cuts before any other crazy ideas?
Great idea, proof = the number of trolls & bots on this thread 😂😂😂
For those tweeting about spending other people’s money without having read the article, this was the last paragraph...“Warren wrote that the plan would be paid for by 'changing the tax laws that encourage companies to merge and reduce competition.'
Yes!
Is she using Al Gores material?
Why?🤡
za 2 roky dokážete zachránit 73 milionov ľudských životov!!! Pilát SLOVENSKO.predám výhodne môj patent.
One more multi-billion give-a-way to add to the list “free” stuff that she is offering just to get people to vote for her. Can people be that uninformed on who will pay for it?
And then, whose gonna pay that huge cable bill?
You know...the important stuff outoftouch
How about guarantee clean drinking water first!
After her plans to spend tens of trillions of taxpayer money, this appears relatively conservative. Then you notice it is just another attempt to buy votes.
She delivers messages of hate while offering freebies....pandering much?
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
They get money out the air. flintwater
Now do HEALTHCARE Liz.
I hope this lady becomes the president... I sincerely hope she does...
Everyday is Christmas
Elizabeth do you have 85 billion dollars to do this Americans do not want this added on their taxes your policies are trash anything that you want for America is bad for America!!!
Cheap price with great long term return. Oh, I forgot. We no longer can consider long term benefits of government spending.
Dayton Ohio Hate Speech! Racist Socialist rhetoric causing violence! Killers Top Presidential Choice
HeadlineHOUSE This explains a lot...
HeadlineHOUSE This says a lot...
So she's already promised free college as a right and now free internet. All she needs to do to wrap up the under 30 vote is add free Netflix, Uber, and tacobell
Spending more money eh?
If we ain’t happy do we get our taxes back? Maybe we should’ve elected Charles Schwab!
Ummmmm exactly where did she plan to get all this money? Ohhh i get it. It will be like FB we get free service except the gov gets all our data right? No thank you. Right about now a Dem will promise you their first born son if you vote for them. Be very careful.
Government (monitored, hack-prone, repair-slow) internet service? That’s a joke right? How do we cancel service if it sucks? Oh, that’s right, we can’t, because they still get their money whether it sucks or not (and may still go broke, like the rest of the federal government).
Yeah... Big and bold ideas are the need of the hour to defeat the menace currently holds the office ...
Thanks for the daily Dingbat report.
She is so good at spending everyone’s money. WalkAway
She is delusional. Goodbye 401k if she gets in the White House.. if any of them do 😑

This comment from Warren typifies a saying from British PM Thatcher... “Problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money” warrenshandinyourwallet
I actually like the idea but seems like a ridiculous cost to implement.
she's a loon.
Has she introduced any bill, on how to pay for any thing? Tax the wealthy she says...until they move money out of the United States- because globalization
Holding my breath for when she talks about co-opting private enterprise instead of federal government to solve a problem.
That seems expensive for high speed trains much less internet
For high-frequency trading! Yay! 🍾🥂 law finance HFT
I’ll listen to her plan...hope it takes.
Where does she find all this money all the time?
Man she can sure spend everyone else’s money!
