We need a Constitutional Amendment that says the Official Language of the USA is English -- this will save billions and will ensure that we don't have to know another language to transact daily business.

You want the government to control what language may be spoken in a business transaction in the United States?

I believe the words he used was "We need a Constitutional Amendment"

and Yes, I for one support that.

It appears that he does.

Some of these folks around here would pass a Constitutional Amendment mandating Evangelical Protestantism as the official religion of the United States, if they could figure out how to herd all the different versions of it together.

Sort of. To begin with, all publicly printed materials should be exclusively in English (unless they are targeted and independently funded for a specific purpose, sort of like how they target actors for ethnic roles).

But you are right -- as long as public business is not being conducted, we should let it go.
