NEW LAW COMING FROM CONGRESS: (AWNAA)

WASHINGTON, DC - Congress is considering sweeping legislation which provides new benefits for many Americans. The Americans With No Abilities Act (AWNAA) is being hailed as a major legislation 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 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 do a better job, or have some idea of what they are doing."

The President pointed to the success of the US Postal Service, which has a long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to performance. Approximately 74 percent of postal employees lack job skills, making this agency the single largest US employer of Persons of Inability.

Private sector industries with good records of nondiscrimination against the Inept include retail sales (72%), the airline industry (68%), and home improvement "warehouse" stores (65%). The DMV also has a great record of hiring Persons of Inability (63%), and fast food restaurants (93%).

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, to guarantee upward mobility for even the most unremarkable employees. The legislation provides substantial tax breaks to corporations which maintain a significant level of Persons of Inability in middle positions, and gives a tax credit to small and medium businesses that agree to hire one clueless worker for every two talented hires.

Finally, the AWNA bill contains tough new measures to make it more difficult to discriminate against the Nonabled, banning discriminatory interview questions such as "Do you have any goals for the future?" or "Do you have any skills or experience which relate to this job?"

"As a Nonabled 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, MI due to her lack of notable job skills. "This new law should really help people like me." With the passage of this bill, Gertz and millions of other untalented citizens can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Said Senator Ted Kennedy, "It is our duty as lawmakers to provide each and every American citizen, regardless of his or her adequacy, with some sort of space to take up in this great nation."

{The Senator's office at the same time issued this statement: "The Senator fully identifies with the people this legislation is designed to help.")

...........Reminds me of the deal the French gov't did a few years ago. This is real and not a joke. This was REAL government at work.

Due to the un-employment levels work week hours were shortened which was designed to force companies to hire more workers to fill the unused hours in the week. For thier participation these companies would be granted certain tax cuts and other gov't largesse.

What has transpired down the road (which would have seemed a bit obvious, even to me) is that Gov't Largesse is based on taxes and apparently the numbers just weren't there. While gov't tax recipts did increase to say 3, The gov't largesse (money) paid out had increased to about an 8 as a mere comparison number.

So now (or last I heard) they were trying to figure out a way around this issue other then just cranking up the printing presses. They DID get more folks working, but it seems it's costing them a bit more then if they had just paid them to stay home. I did seem like a good idea at the time, tho' :-).

Kinda like the 2 city workers going down the street. Dick would dig the holes every 10 feet, and Jim coming along behind would fill them up. A lady saw them and asked just what was up. Dick said they were the city tree planting crew. The lady said, "But you're not planting any trees". Dick said, "Oh, that. Well Tom plants the trees but he's off sick today."

So you guys finally caught with similar legislation in Canada. Up here it is called our "First Nation Support Act" and the "Liberal Immigration Act". This is not to be confused with the Third World Aids Act which allows third world citizens to lie about their health status so they can come and live off our Medicare System. Where are my blood pressure pills?:roll:

Two members of the city street crew were leaning on their shovels, when they noticed a large snail on the sidewalk near them. One of them swung his shovel and smashed the snail to a paste. In due time, the other said "Why'd ya do that, Joe?" Joe replied "That sumbitch's been following me around all day, and I'm getting sick of it."
