Since Uncle Sam is the one that is *taking back* the analog spectrum that TVs have worked on for decades, (thus *creating* the situation of these analog sets not having anything to receive any longer over the 'public airwaves'), and is auctioning it off to the cell phone companies for tens of Billions of dollars of profits, this 1.5 Billion coupon program is small potatoes, pretty much the least the Feds could do for a situation that is created by government action... and would seem to be entirely consistent with traditional conservative philosophy about government 'taking'.
