Democrat Wants To Pass A Bill Banning Complaining

Well, that’s one solution I guess. Don’t solve the problems. Just tell the people complaining about them to shut up already.

Sure, the economy sucks. Unemployment is at least 10.2% and, yes, if you include part-time workers who would rather have full-time jobs it may be over 17%. The government is showering our cash on Wall Street and burning through piles of our children and grandchildren’s money “saving” phantom jobs in Congressional Districts that don’t exist.
Oh yeah, and Congress is planning for a government take-over of our health care system, legislating higher energy prices and raising taxes. Sheesh, no wonder we’re feeling blue.
Well, not to worry, three-term Congressman Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) has found a solution: Stop Complaining So Much. Rep. Cleaver is currently circulating a “Dear Colleague” letter, seeking co-sponsors for House Concurrent Resolution 155, designating the day before Thanksgiving as the official “Complaint Free Wednesday.”

The full letter is below, but here’s an excerpt:

From time to time, we all experience anxiety, frustration, stress, and regret. And often, we respond to these feelings with a criticism or a complaint. Regrettably, complaining keeps people stuck on current problems, inhibiting them from thinking constructively to find solutions. Research has also shown that complaining can be harmful to one’s emotional and physical health; relationships; and can limit professional career success.

Got that? Complaining about things like, I don’t know, the government saddling your children with trillions of dollars in debt, is bad for your health. Hell, once the government is running health care, we can even ban complaining as a money saving initiative. Kind of like telling women not to check themselves for breast lumps.
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.
