"Rightey
Tightey, Lefty Loosey"
After seeing and hearing some of the testimony given by
former Labor Secretary (in the Clinton Administration) Robert Reich at the recent
congressional hearing on the stimulus package, and the empty-headed questions asked of him
by Rep. Charlie (No-bribe-is-too-big) Rangel, I became convinced that all sanity has
departed from our Federal government. Reich pointed out that the government had to
make sure that the stimulus money went to the right people; not the professionals, not the
experts, not to the "white male construction workers", but rather to people in
distressed areas that needed government help. When asking Reich a question about
expenditures to repair our nation's infrastructure, Rangel took the opportunity to
pontificate as well, pointing out that state governments should not be allowed to have any
say whatsoever in how or where the money would be spent. (Click HERE to see the video). It is no
wonder that most of what the government touches always turns to.... Anyway, I was
reminded of this once again when I came across the following article at the FIRE
SOCIETY website, I decided to add it here before it disappeared. The
article was written by JIM
COLES, and was posted on November 14, 2008.
Washington, DC - November 5, 2008 - President Elect Barack Obama and the Democrat
controlled Congress is considering sweeping legislation that will provide new
benefits for many Americans. The Americans With No Abilities Act. AWNAA is being hailed as
a major legislative goal by advocates of the millions of Americans who lack any real
skills or ambition.
'Roughly 50 percent of Americans do not possess the competence and drive necessary to
carve out a meaningful role for themselves in society,' said California Senator Barbara
Boxer. 'We can no longer stand by and allow People of Inability to be ridiculed and passed
over. With this legislation, employers will no longer be able to grant special favors to a
small group of workers, simply because they have some idea of what they are doing.'
In a Capitol Hill press conference, House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid pointed to the success of the U.S. Postal Service, which has a
long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to performance. Approximately
74 percent of postal employees lack any job skills, making this agency the single largest
U.S employer of Persons of Inability.
Private-sector industries with good records of non-discrimination against the Inept
include retail sales (72%), the airline industry (68%), and home improvement 'warehouse'
stores (65%). At the state government level, the Department of Motor Vehicles also has an
excellent record of hiring Persons of Inability (63%).
Under The Americans With No Abilities Act, more than 25 million 'middle man' positions
will be created, with important-sounding titles but little real responsibility, thus
providing an illusory sense of purpose and performance.
Mandatory non-performance-based raises and promotions will be given so as to guarantee
upward mobility for even the most unremarkable employees. The legislation provides
substantial tax breaks to corporations that promote a significant number of Persons of
Inability into middle-management positions, and gives a tax credit to small and
medium-sized businesses that agree to hire one clueless worker for every two talented
hires.
Finally, the AWNAA contains tough new measures to make it more difficult to discriminate
against the non-abled, banning, for example, discriminatory interview questions such as,
'Do you have any skills or experience that relate to this job?'
'As a Non-abled person, I can't be expected to keep up with people who have something
going for them,' said Mary Lou Gertz, who lost her position as a lug-nut twister at the GM
plant in Flint, Michigan, due to her inability to remember 'rightey tightey, lefty
loosey.' 'This new law should be real good for people like me,' Gertz added. With the
passage of this bill, Gertz and millions of other untalented citizens will finally
see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Said Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL): 'As a Senator with no abilities, I believe the
same privileges that elected officials enjoy ought to be extended to every American with
no abilities. It is our duty as lawmakers to provide each and every American citizen,
regardless of his or her inadequacy, with some sort of space to take up in this great
nation and a good salary for doing so.
