President Barack Obama and the democrat controlled Congress are 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 "middleman" 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 Dick 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."

0 Limit Congress from serving more than two terms. That is all that presidents are allowed.

0 Stop Congress from voting for their own raises. How did that ever get started?

0 Stop paying lawmakers their full salary after serving just one term, or at retirement. We need to get rid of that pension plan; they’ve let other companies get rid of theirs. You were lucky to get 40 to 50 per cent of your salary after working somewhere for 35 years, but they get 100 per cent.

0 Stop handing out aid to illegal aliens. If we did, then Medicaid and the food stamp program would have enough money to aid the aged and the poor.

0 Secure our borders.

0 Stop allowing babies born to illegal aliens in the United States automatic U.S. citizenship.

0 Have a computer program that cross checks Social Security numbers with fingerprints to stop fraud on many fronts. Use it on voter registration, too.

0 Stop bailing out mortgage companies and banks that give loans to people who can’t afford them.

Only lawmakers can make these changes, as they are the lawmakers.
----------------------...
I have some additional changes that might also help:

1. Institutions that make loans must retain responsibility for the loans. The loans and the associated risks/rewards can't be bundled and passed on to other agencies for investment purposes.

2. Lawmakers should pass laws based on the principle that that individuals are responsible for their actions. For instance, people who borrow money should be aware they have to pay it back or there will be unpleasant consequences. Of course, people who borrow should be made to realize how the loans are structured.

3. NEVER allow solutions that are constructed at the expense of the people who are not responsible for the problem. People who faithfully make their loan payments should not be penalized for those who do not, just as people who exercise, watch their diet and weight, and take care of themselves should not be penalized for those who do not take care of themselves. Never reward the people responsible for the problem at the expense of those who were not.

5. Nominate Steven Hansen for President

0 Limit Congress from serving more than two terms. That is all that presidents are allowed.

0 Stop Congress from voting for their own raises. How did that ever get started?

0 Stop paying lawmakers their full salary after serving just one term, or at retirement. We need to get rid of that pension plan; they’ve let other companies get rid of theirs. You were lucky to get 40 to 50 per cent of your salary after working somewhere for 35 years, but they get 100 per cent.

0 Stop handing out aid to illegal aliens. If we did, then Medicaid and the food stamp program would have enough money to aid the aged and the poor.

0 Secure our borders.

0 Stop allowing babies born to illegal aliens in the United States automatic U.S. citizenship.

0 Have a computer program that cross checks Social Security numbers with fingerprints to stop fraud on many fronts. Use it on voter registration, too.

0 Stop bailing out mortgage companies and banks that give loans to people who can’t afford them.

Only lawmakers can make these changes, as they are the lawmakers.
