How about saving on Government publication costs by making English the official language for the country, instead of requiring translations of everything into Spanish (which takes twice as many words to convey the same information besides) ...

Quick story...wife and I visited Sacramento once while Arnold was Gov and they were in one of their “budget battles” where they “couldn’t possibly cut anymore” because it was already “to the bone”.

We entered the capital building and saw over 50 different pamphlets printed in every language you could imagine.

Then we entered the elevator to go to the 2nd floor exhibits (only three floors in this old place) and they had, get this, elevator OPERATORS! Paid at that.

I looked at her and said, “so, they really can’t find anywhere to cut the budget?”
