Lazy Idiots

Some of the people I work with are so stupid it hurts me. Several times I've heard people say, "How can America have a deficit? Why don't we just print more money?" And this is not just people in the mailroom, this is actual editors saying things this retarded, things that I was taught were stupid when I was fucking eight.
My manager today said that he told his kids in high school, and he hated to say it, to learn Spanish. I gave a sort of horrified/dumbstruck look. He said, "I mean, I feel, if you come to this country, you should learn English." I said, "Well, I think everyone should know at least two languages." He didn't seem to really have anything to say to this.
How many jobs are non-English-speaking immigrants stealing from "hard-working regular American Joes" like my manager who barely peels his fat ass off the computer seat twice a day? If all the immigrants who work seventy hours a week washing dishes and mopping floors learned English, they would suddenly get the easy jobs that dumb, lazy generic fat white people have been hogging for two hundred years. There are a lot of jobs, like mail room supervisor, sanitation company manager, etc., that any moron can do, but always winds up going to some braindead older white guy where no one expects anything from him and he delivers even less.
What is so horrible about white people learning to speak a second language? How does you learning Spanish obviate the need for Mexicans to learn English? I used to work with a lazy, dumb-as-shit fucking retard Puerto Rican guy and this dumbshit spoke three languages (conversationally, at least) fluently. There's a big difference between thinking that people should learn the language of the country they immigrate to, and wondering why you should learn a language other than English. It's like saying, "Hey, I'm a fat lazy white guy and I have no ambition other than to sit around in some condo drinking Bud light, why should I dream of anything greater? How dare you suggest such a thing?!"
