10 Wisconsin Republican Legislators Introduced English First Bill
State Representative Jacque's bill would make English an official state language, use of English for governmental written expression, acquiring language proficiency, and use of languages for nongovernmental purposes.
By H. Nelson Goodson
August 27, 2013
Madison, WI - On Friday, State Representative Andre Jacque (R-DePere) has introduced AB-340, an English first bill would require local and state governments to provide all of their documents in English. The bill was referred to the Committee on State Affairs for consideration. Jacque's rationale for the bill, it would make immigrants learn English.
The bill also prohibits the state or local governments from restricting residents from learning other languages. The bill has some exceptions that would allow the use of another language;
● To protect the health, safety, or liberty of any citizen
● To teach or study another language
● To protect the rights of a criminal defendant or victim of a crime
● To promote trade, tourism, or commerce
● To facilitate activities relating to the compilation of any census
● To comply with the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
● To use a proper name, term of art, or phrase from a language other than English
● To comply with the constitution and laws of the United States or the constitution of this state
The bill was also sponsored by the following Republican State Representatives John Nygren, Mark Born, David Graig, Dean Kaufert, Samantha Kerkman, Stephan Nass, Alvin Ott and Dan Pridemore, including the following co-sponsors state Republican Senators Alberta Darling and Don Pridemore.
Jacque's bill would most likely limit how bilingual elected officials, Milwaukee County Supervisor Peggy Romo-West, State Representative JoCasta Zamarripa (D-Milw.) and Milwaukee 12 District Alderman José Pérez communicate with their large Spanish speaking constituency.
Another similar English first bill in 2009 was introduced by former State Representative Marlin Schneider (D-WI Rapids), but failed when it was never considered by a majority Democrat controlled Assembly.

Progressivism transforms “welfare to work” to “welfare to not work”
The widely reported number of Americans in poverty is 46.2 million, about 15 percent of the population. July’s Household Survey revealed that 11.5 million were unemployed; 2.4 million will work but aren’t actively looking; and 8.2 million wanted full-time work but could only a find part-time job. And the Civilian Labor Force Participation rate was a very low 63.4 percent.
Yet CBS News reported that a survey of 2,000 employers showed one-third of them said lots of jobs go unfilled for three months or more. Many of the roughly three million unfilled jobs are in skilled trades and pay good wages, making one wonder about the current “everybody needs a college education” mania that now grips the country.
Another reason that good jobs go unfilled is that the federal government’s assistance programs make it easy to not work, and frequently pay more than some jobs.
The Cato Institute’s Michael Tanner, writing in the Los Angeles Times (Online) notes that, “Contrary to stereotypes, there is no evidence that people on welfare are lazy. Indeed, surveys of welfare recipients consistently show their desire for a job.” Yet the “U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says less than 42 percent of adult welfare recipients participate in work activities nationwide,” he continued. “Why the contradiction?”
“Perhaps it’s because, while poor people are not lazy, they are not stupid either,” he writes. “If you pay people more not to work than they can earn at a job, many won’t work.”
In looking at federal assistance programs, Mr. Tanner noted that most reports on welfare focus on only a single program, the cash benefit program, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. But he explained that “focusing on this single program leaves the impression that welfare benefits are quite low, providing a bare, subsistence-level income.” However, most get assistance from more than one of the federal government’s 126 separate programs for low-income people, 72 of which provide either cash or in-kind benefits to individuals.
In order to analyze how the federal assistance programs affect recipients, the Cato Institute created a hypothetical family consisting of a mother with two children, ages 1 and 4, and then calculated the combined total of seven of the most common benefits that the family could receive in all 50 states.
In Washington, D.C., and Hawaii, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Maryland, New Hampshire and California, that group of seven programs provide benefits worth more than $35,000 a year. The value of the package in a medium-level welfare state is $28,500.
Since welfare benefits are not taxed, to put the benefits issue in perspective the Cato study calculated how much pretax income the family would need to earn in order to provide the same amount as a 40-hour-per-week job. This calculation took federal and state income taxes, earned income tax credits and the child tax credit into account.
The study found that welfare pays more than an $8-an-hour job in 33 states and the District of Columbia, and that in 12 states and the District of Columbia welfare pays more than a $15-an-hour job. And, in Hawaii, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington, D.C., welfare pays more than a $20-an-hour job.
Comparing the results with specific jobs, the Cato study found that in California and 38 other states, it pays more than the starting wage for a secretary and in the three most generous states, welfare benefits exceed the entry-level salary for a computer programmer.
While not every welfare recipient gets these seven benefits, many do, and some receive even more than the package used by the Cato study. “Still,” Mr. Tanner concludes, “what is undeniable is that for many recipients in the most generous states — particularly those classified as long-term recipients — welfare pays substantially more than an entry-level job.”
Welfare is supposed to be a temporary thing for most recipients, not a career. Yet in many cases able-bodied men and women do not look for work because they can do better on welfare.
Such a system discourages people from taking responsibility for themselves and their families. It creates a large faction of government dependents; a status that deprives people of self-respect and the pride of accomplishment that results when one succeeds in life because of their own efforts.
Even a low wage job is better than welfare, as it often is only a first step to better jobs. U.S. Census figures show that only 2.6 percent of full-time workers are poor, while 23.9 percent of adults who do not work are poor.
This country became what it once was not by millions depending upon government to feed and clothe them, but by Americans making themselves successful through determination and hard work. That is the goal our welfare system must have.
American Paranoia Sets In -- Big Time! ... J. D. Longstreet
American Paranoia Sets In -- Big Time!
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
**************
Have you noticed your friends speaking a bit lower and standing a bit closer as they speak to each other recently? Have you observed, or thought you observed, whispered exchanges between people you know to be friends or even fellow employees? And have you noticed these exchanges in what is sometimes referred to as neutral locations -- ie -- not the work place or the home?
I'll bet you have. I have. Yeah, most of us have IF we take a moment and think back over the past few days.
So, why do I bring this up? What's the point?
My point is, dear reader, America is changing -- and changing big time -- and it is all happening right before our eyes and we don't seem to recognize the metamorphosis.
Why? What's happened?
America is no longer a free country. Yeah, I know that is a strong statement. I intended it to be strong. I want to shake you up, to get your attention, to pry your eyes away from the TV screen, the computer screen, the cell phone screen, and every other type of electronic device we have today ... long enough to point out that the very thing you are holding in your hand, or sitting in front of and staring at -- has sold you out.
Every time I sit down at the keyboard to write a commentary, I am conscious that I have a captive audience. I know for certain the US government is interested in every word I say, or type, or transmit. I am conscious that every time I use certain key words or phrases, little metaphorical red flags go up where ever the heck my commentary is being received by the government. I must tell you it is more than a little chilling. Of course, that is one of the side effects of living in a "surveillance society" such as the United States of America. Our privacy is gone, zip, kaput! Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, all, every single one of us, is now under close observation by the US government.
"Oh," you might say, "Longstreet, you're being paranoid!" EXACTLY! That's my point -- EXACTLY!
The entire country is becoming paranoid. Americans are now carbon copies of the people who used to be citizens of the old Soviet Union. We're even beginning to LOOK like them. Their mannerisms have been adopted and then adapted to fit 21st century Americans.
No, we don't have Gulags. But some SWEAR we DO have FEMA Camps! (Actually, there are two, uh, camps on the FEMA Camp controversy. Personally, I'll hold my opinion on that until I can see a camp for myself.)
Peggy Noonan, in a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, said our loss of privacy will likely change Americans. She said: "The end of the expectation that citizens' communications are and will remain private will probably change us as a people, and a country." SOURCE: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323639704579015101857760922.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_sections_opinion
In her article, Ms. Noonan relates how 88 year old Nat Hentoff, a renown journalist and civil libertarian, spoke to a group of students at Harvard. She said: "About a year ago he went up to Harvard to speak to a class. He asked, he recalled: "How many of you realize the connection between what's happening with the Fourth Amendment with the First Amendment?" He told the students that if citizens don't have basic privacies—firm protections against the search and seizure of your private communications, for instance—they will be left feeling "threatened." This will make citizens increasingly concerned "about what they say, and they do, and they think." It will have the effect of constricting freedom of expression. Americans will become careful about what they say that can be misunderstood or misinterpreted, and then too careful about what they say that can be understood. The inevitable end of surveillance is self-censorship." SOURCE: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323639704579015101857760922.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_sections_opinion
Please pay careful attention to the last line above: "The inevitable end of surveillance is self-censorship." I can tell you, as a conservative writer myself, Mr. Hentoff is "spot on." All conservative writers, commentators, and such, writing today with a progressive Marxist/communist administration looking over our shoulders 24 hours a day and eavesdropping on everything we say, or write, would be a fool not to be concerned. Regardless of what we may say publicly, it DOES have a chilling effect upon our writing. That, dear reader, is NOT an unwelcome effect so far as the current administration is concerned.
Until fairly recently, Americans were a breed apart. We were a free people who governed themselves. We constructed and then we lived in a free republic. That has now changed.
The republic that we once had is now unworkable. It has crashed and burned. Why? Because the government is no longer answerable to the people. The constitution no longer constrains the government.
The US government now has only one branch functioning. Originally designed for three coequal branches, the Legislative, the Judicial and the Executive, the powerful Obama Executive Branch has either shuttered or co-opted the other two. What we have today is not constitutional, but it doesn't matter as the constitution itself no longer applies.
There is an expression: "When someone is out to get you, paranoia is just damned good thinking!" While it IS true, the political left in America seeks to use our paranoia against us by insisting it is a weakness. It is they, of course, aiding and betting the usurpers in our nation's capital in the soft despotism that has so quickly stripped America of her freedom and liberty and set her on the road to imminent destruction as a Marxist/communist society.
But then, you shouldn't pay too much attention to my ranting. I'm paranoid, you know.

Long-Term Recession Odds
The following chart shows the odds that a month chosen at random is within a recession.
Click to enlarge.
The 15-year moving average is shown in black. The average since World War II is shown in red.
In my opinion, the odds of the Fed permanently putting a stop to future recessions is about as likely as monkeys magically appearing out of my you know what.
It is also my opinion that the low recession frequency of the 1980s and 1990s is officially over. If so, then we can expect 1 month out of every 6 to be in recession, which oddly enough is the same odds one would have in a game of Russian Roulette.
Feeling lucky?

We're ZIRPing Along on the "Road" to Full Recovery
Click to enlarge.
I can feel us all starting to think about potentially driving another 80 billion miles each year within our lifetimes. It could happen, right? It's certainly within the realm of possibility. I mean the thinking part, not necessarily the driving part.
We just need to be patient and let the trend in red do all the work! Well, once it reverses and starts to really pick up steam anyway.
Fortunately, we have time to be patient. And why is that? We can rule out any other events "driving" this down at an even faster rate. I have it on good authority that the Fed has permanently put a stop to all future recessions! The trick was simple. Cripple the economy so much that it can't possibly fall any further. Genius!
So there you have it. I have 100% confidence in the Fed to never allow another recession! There have been 19 recessions since the Fed was founded in 1913? Yeah, but that old Fed isn't like the new Fed! This time it's different! They've got all kinds of advanced data sets on heavily leveraged economies. They know what to expect now. And let's not forget that the "unexpected" housing bust added a great deal to their understanding, just like the dotcom bubble before it!

Taking a Scientific Look at Surveillance and Big Brother...

Rational Nation USA
Liberty -vs- Tyranny
The Patriot Act and all that it brought with it, including and especially the NSA, has arguably taken the USA a few steps closer to the dystopian world portrayed in George Oswell's novel 1984.
Some, perhaps many may find this over dramatic and hold the belief that it can't really happen here. And, perhaps these people might very well be right. Or, they could possibly be very wrong.
The following is an interesting article, and it is backed up by more than hyperbole or a political agenda. Recommended reading and food for thought. The ultimate determination as to whether it becomes an eventual reality or not is of course up to us, We the People or, Something Else.

The Guardian - Recent disclosures about the scope of government surveillance are staggering. We now know that the UK's Tempora program records huge volumes of private communications, including – as standard – our emails, social networking activity, internet histories, and telephone calls. Much of this data is then shared with the US National Security Agency, which operates its own (formerly) clandestine surveillance operation. Similar programs are believed to operate in Russia, China, India, and throughout several European countries.
While pundits have argued vigorously about the merits and drawbacks of such programs, the voice of science has remained relatively quiet. This is despite the fact that science, alone, can lay claim to a wealth of empirical evidence on the psychological effects of surveillance. Studying that evidence leads to a clear conclusion and a warning: indiscriminate intelligence-gathering presents a grave risk to our mental health, productivity, social cohesion, and ultimately our future.
Surveillance impairs mental health and performance
For more than 15 years we've known that surveillance leads to heightened levels of stress, fatigue and anxiety. In the workplace it also reduces performance and our sense of personal control. A government that engages in mass surveillance cannot claim to value the wellbeing or productivity of its citizens.
Surveillance promotes distrust between the public and the state
People will trust an authority to the extent that it is seen to behave in their interest and trust them in return. Research suggests that people tolerate limited surveillance provided they believe their security is being bought with someone else's liberty. The moment it becomes clear that they are in fact trading their own liberty, the social contract is broken. Violating this trust changes the definition of "us" and "them" in a way that can be dangerous for a democratic authority – suddenly, most of the population stands in opposition to their own government.
Surveillance breeds conformity
For more than 50 years we've known that surveillance encourages conformity to social norms. In a series of classic experiments during the 1950s, psychologist Solomon Asch showed that conformity is so powerful that individuals will follow the crowd even when the crowd is obviously wrong. A government that engages in mass surveillance cannot claim to value innovation, critical thinking, or originality. {Read More}
