Also in about 8 to 10 years when the babyboomers begin retiring. we are about to face some of the greatest costs we have ever seen in the history of this country. With national debt of $5.5 trillion right now and a debt almost quadruple that when you figure in future pension liabilities. we really cannot afford to do this until Puerto Rico strengthens its economy significantly. Fourth. when I went to Israel 3 or 4 years ago. our group met. among many others. with the woman who headed Israeli immigration. She told us they gave all immigrants to Israel up to 2 years of intensive language training if they needed it because Israel felt that it was very important to have a common. unifying national language. It is fine with me if everyone in this country learns Spanish or some other second language. but I think all U.S. citizens need to be truly. honestly fluent in English. We need a unifying national language.
