— Consequential GOP class of 1994 all but disappears – REID WILSON (DIERSEN:
Democrats and RINOs used the Contract with America to get rid of GAO’s
employees who were White, male, and/or non-veteran who GAO had not promoted to
GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30,

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/462705-consequential-gop-class-of-1994-all-but-disappears
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Twenty-five years ago Friday, 367 Republicans running for Congress lined up on
the Capitol steps on a clear September day weeks before the midterm elections
to sign the Contract with America. . .When the lawmakers signed Gingrich’s
contract, Republicans had no experience running the legislative branch. The
last Republican Speaker of the House, Joseph Martin, had died 26 years before
Gingrich took control. Gingrich pledged that a new way of business was coming
to Washington, seizing power from committee chairmen who had never held a gavel
themselves and making himself the most powerful Speaker in generations, a trend
his successors have followed. Gingrich “was making all sorts of proclamations,
and he was saying the presidency didn’t really matter. For a moment or two, we
thought he might be right,” said Pat Griffin, Clinton’s director of legislative
affairs at the time. “We were feeling terribly depressed, everybody was
pointing fingers at everyone else.” For the next two years, the new Republican
majority forced Democrats and the Clinton White House to react to their agenda.
Clinton, his reelection hopes suddenly in doubt, moved to compromise with
Republicans where he could and set himself apart from an increasingly unpopular
Congress — including his own party — where possible.)
