Translators for Illegal Residents So They Can Get Services?

Lincoln County Commissioner Bruce Carlton was onto something Monday night when he raised questions about a $1.6 million local-state-federal project aimed at helping families become self-sufficient.. Carlton questioned why the county funds a program that pays for interpreters to help undocumented people (illegal residents) become self-sufficient, but he stopped short of blasting the program out of the water, where it really belongs.
We suppose that if Uncle Sam feels that it has the constitutional authority to buy interest in private banks and to borrow billions of dollars from China to prop up the greedy brokers on Wall Street there is nothing wrong with using tax money to give aid to undocumented residents in Lincoln County.
Not!
This foolishness needs to stop somewhere, and it may as well be here.
Taxpayers are not cows to be milked morning and night for the benefit of people who are illegally in our country or for white-collar criminals who rip the rest of us off to line their own pockets. It is time for the local, state and federal governments to face reality and stop shelling out our tax dollars on questionable programs and mortgaging our grandchildrens’ futures in the process.
It is time for citizens to accept more responsibility for their own futures and to quit relying on the government for hand-outs, lift-ups or bailouts.
And it is time for taxpayers to demand that the government - local, state and federal, stop wasting our money on programs that do little more than provide employment for overpaid bureaucrats or benefits for people of questionable status.
