It is pretty stupid that people moving there aren't forced through training to learn the language of the country, completely illogical. But of course if you argue this people are so imprinted with the pro immigration, multi-cultural propaganda that they only see this argument through the prism that marginalizes the concept by labelling it racist. It would be like letting people progress in a maths program at university without being numerically literate. The language is the basic foundation of a nation state, through it comes and understand of both your fellow man and comprehension of the intricacies of the political sphere, and so on.

YO303 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Immigrants from spanish speaking countries have it easy in the US, they move here and everything is in spanish (tv,stores,etc), they are never force to learn the language unless they come here at a young age. I get that they are old and tired but make an effort, i think its kind of unfair that Americans (specially employers, managers, etc) are kind of force to learn a language so they can communicate with those who are too lazy to learn english.

What are you talking about, i'm french on my mother's side and i've never heard them moan about the american anything at all really, well except stupid wars and gun violence or things that are obviously stupid to even the americans. Mostly it's the US shittalking france through it's media and citizenry due to some oldschool anglo bias, never mind the fact that the USofA wouldn't have come into existence without millitary and financial support from france.

As always its not the race affected who is crying murder its "liberal" white people. Yes, and the system isn't in place for millions of illegal migrants to learn english. Business doesn't care, they just want cheap labour and government doesn't want to tax business to pay for it. So locals are just left to deal with it. Looking from the outside though it's funny seeing that country slowly getting transformed into a northern outpost of latin american. As it must please greatly those that still feel the sore of the wars of conquest which the US waged to get california, texas and florida and so forth. Historical irony that the same people that pushed for pax americana are those that want the cheap illegal labour force and so in a moment evaporates their daydream.

goDel Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Too bad for the last bullet. The final, sort of conclusive?, claim is made that billions go to other countries and next the 1% vs.99% thing is put on the table. So the actual problem, I'm assuming, is that gap between the 1% and the 99% -there is no real middle class - but the claim was that billions go to other countries (not the 1% btw). And if those billions going to other countries were put into perspective ( with respect to the entire US), how significant are those billions? Would it actually help if those billions weren't there? You should assume, imo, that those billions are relatively small and that it doesn't help one single bit to solve the 1%-99% gap. That money going to other countries has hardly anything to do with the income gap. The income gap is about (corporate) taxes, taxe free off shore accounts, a lack of inflation corrected minimum wage and possibly the worker unions dysfunctioning. Nothing to do with money going to third world countries (and israel). Tbh, I'm afraid that the us will see similar things as happening in Greece: extreme nationalism taking root in society/politics.

delet... Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Those billions are used for some pretty nasty things, like to prop up dodgy regimes by giving them cash to help buy US arms. Or to bribe freedom fighters/politicians/academics/NGOs, or push to liberalize trade restrictions through conditions put up before the cash is dolled out, etc. Or it's given to the IMF so they can loan shark nations. It's a noose in which countries put their necks. Certainly would be better used to give vets housing, or to fix a few thousand bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goDel Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 You think so? http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/02/13/2013-budget-0 The Budget continues our commitment to keeping that promise alive by creating an economy thats built to last with good jobs that pay well and security for the middle class. Its a commitment that starts with jumpstarting job creation so that our economic recovery quickens and more Americans are able to get back to work. The Budget proposes more than $350 billion in short-term measures for job growth starting this year. These proposals include the extension of the payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance benefits for rest of 2012; an upfront investment of $50 billion from the surface transportation reauthorization bill for roads, rails, and runways to create thousands of quality jobs in the short term; continuing to allow businesses to write-off the full amount of new investments; and $30 billion to modernize at least 35,000 schools, and $30 billion to help states and localities retain and hire teachers and first responders. Plus, from what piece of the 3.7 trillion pie do those foreign billions come from? Again, it's not the money going to other countries that's the issue, or relevant, in the 1%-99% gap thing. Edit: f@ck, wrong pie It should be the one on this page http://www.sdvfp.org/us-military-spending/proposed-dicretionary-fy2013-np/ But google search wont show me options i actually can link to...

delet... Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 International affairs, 4%? that would be 148 billion then. Of course there would be embassies, they're exee. Is it even in that budget? I don't think that cia is in the military budget, perhaps that's international affairs as well. hrmm i dunno, my point was that the money they give out is better spent at home because it's not generally used for humanitarian reasons.
