— We need more accountants. Chicago, a major center in the accounting world, has a big stake in reviving the field. (COMMENT: I should have majored in accounting at UIC 1966-1968, NIU 1969-1970, and Loyola 1972-1976. I did major in accounting at DePaul 1976-1980 and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981 at age 32. But by then, accounting viewed me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting.)

(FROM THE EDITORIAL: America’s most famously boring profession is in trouble, and that’s bad news for Chicago. The city is a hotbed of professional services, including lawyers, consultants and the now-endangered species of certified public accountants. CPAs are essential for financial reporting, advanced tax preparation and other dull-but-important tasks that keep the economy going. These days, the accounting profession is in crisis as CPAs retire and the pipeline to replace them dries up. Addressing the shortage means changing the time-consuming path to becoming a CPA, without lowering the standards that make the work of these unsung financial heroes so critical. The health of the capital markets depends on breathing new life into the profession. CPAs are experts in generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the complicated rules and procedures that govern the financial world. Among a CPA’s most important functions is auditing public companies to ensure their financial statements conform with GAAP. If CPAs sign off, they certify to the public that the numbers can be trusted, so in that respect these behind-the-scenes gnomes are guardians of the public trust.)

— Why do people vote for candidates? Far too often, it is because those candidates promise to use government to give more preference to voters who share their demographics. Democrat and RINO candidates ever-increasingly promise to use government to give more preference to voters who are liberal, moderate, non-Republican, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, have health, financial, and/or other problems, have less money than others, etc. – Dave Diersen

— The older that your work experience is, the less that it is valued. GAO audits IRS.

My Democrats GAO superiors succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for 6 years. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. I should write about that outrageous waste.
