With unemployment skyrocketing, illegal aliens remaining in jobs that could be filled by our unemployed and the dollar falling faster than Obama in front of any other world leader you’d think that congress would be working fast and furious on the problems of the nation. Instead congress is wasting time out of their three day work week declaring “Official” days. Congressman Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) wants to introduce House Concurrent Resolution 155 and is seeking co-sponsors. C.R. 155 would make the day before Thanksgiving the official “Complaint Free Wednesday”.
This is the nonsense we are putting up with due to a lack term limits. Term limits would eliminate the deadwood, some of the idiocy and much of the graft from congress. There are simply too many Americans who are unwilling to pay attention and are too complacent to vote them out of office. A more regular turnover might replace some of them with representatives who are willing to do the work of the nation. They could be making something “Official” that would really count and save unfathomable billions of dollars at the same time. If they would just make English the official language of the United States it would solve a lot of problems and cut printing and personnel costs so radically that even the G.A.O. cannot estimate the savings.
How about this scenario?
DMV employee: “Here’s your driver license test sir, it’s in English.”
Applicant: “Je ne comprende pas.”
DMV employee: “What?”
Applicant: “Je ne comprende pas.”
DMV employee: “I’m sorry; I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Helpful observer: “What he’s saying is that he doesn’t understand what you are saying. He doesn’t read or understand English.”
DMV employee: “Well then he probably cannot read the traffic safety and warning signs on our roads. NEXT!”
OR
“Here’s your application for Welfare, madam.”
“No comprende.”
“Just fill out the form and we will mail you a check.”
“No comprende.”
“This is America, we speak English. Do you understand English?”
“No comprende.”
“NEXT!”
OR
“Here’s your ballot, sir.”
“Japanese?”
“No, it’s only in English.”
“Japanese?”
“NEXT!”
And in the courts…”You have a right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided. I’m sorry we don’t have anyone on staff that speaks Swahili and we do have a limited budget; you’ll have to provide your own interpreter.”
By printing all official documents in only one language, the costs for translation, editing, printing, etc. will save untold fortunes for our citizens who pay for the printing costs. It could also eliminate non-citizens from electing imbeciles to the government. After all, to be a naturalized citizen you must demonstrate that you can speak, understand, read and write in English. So what is the need for 7-12 different ballot translations, or driver license test translations or any translations of any official government document? If you speak only a foreign language, why do you expect us to cater to your needs? You provide a translator that speaks English and Margaret will help you.
Think about the fact that government offices would then be able to hire people with skills, capabilities and qualifications, not just those who can speak with a certain segment of the population. This is not bigoted, bias or racist in any way. If anything it is just the opposite, it is promoting equality. Everybody is treated the same – in English. We’ll provide service; we only ask that you ask for it in a language we can understand.
How did this country get to the point where we allow aliens (legal and illegal) to suck money out of our pockets catering to their needs? Why do we allow foreign nationals to vote for someone who will be governing us? No valid picture I.D., no vote. NEXT!
Hear ye, hear ye congress and all elected officials (local, state and federal) listen up! If you don’t start working for us, we’re going to fire you. NEXT!
