— Who benefits from Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan, how much debt could be canceled. The amount of debt canceled depends on whether the borrower received a Pell grant to attend college. – CNN (COMMENT: Did you get a Pell grant? If there had been Pell grants in the 1960s, I wonder if I would have gotten one. My grades at Crete-Monee High School 1964-1966 suffered because I worked as many hours that I could washing dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights to pay for a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint to drive to/from my parents’ Crete home to classes at UIC. My grades at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969 suffered because I worked as many hours that I could for the Park Forest Post Office to pay for college expenses and for a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 and for a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE that I drove to/from my parents’ home in Crete and UIC and NIU classes.)

The Republican Party platform is conservative. What discourages you from giving money to Republican candidates and to Republican organizations? For me, it is their failure/refusal to defend/advance the individual responsibility, traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. It is their failure/refusal to oppose the promotion of dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination (Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, replacement theory, wokeness/wokeism), and/or age discrimination.)

AMAC
— Race Matching and Other Crazy Theories Destroying Our Schools
https://amac.us/race-matching-and-other-crazy-theories-destroying-our-schools/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The two biggest teachers unions — the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers — are pushing racial division. A new Minneapolis union contract specifies that when layoffs are needed, white teachers will get axed before nonwhite teachers with the same seniority, to increase the chances nonwhite students have a nonwhite teacher. Citing left-wing pedagogy that encourages “race matching,” defenders of the contract claim Black students learn better with Black teachers. The contract violates the rights of white teachers, but it’s also unjust to students of color. Race matching doesn’t prepare them for the real world any more than labeling them victims does. What employer can deal with new hires who need “safe spaces” and a boss whose race matches their own? Students raised to expect these things will be doomed, and our nation will be, too.)

I worked my way through college. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes hint/imply/argue/shout that I had to work my way through college a) because I avoided the draft; b) because I could not get a scholastic scholarship because my grades and ACT score were so bad, c) because I could not get a sports scholarship because of my health problems; and d) because I could not get a financial scholarship because my parents were filthy rich.)

Because I am all of the aforesaid, I would have been chopped much sooner if I had not a) earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, e) became Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, f) became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, g) became a Forensic Accountant in 1996, and h) earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

YAHOO NEWS
— COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can/will defend/advance their platform. The Republican Party platform calls for equal opportunity, that is, it opposes race and gender based preference giving. I should write a book about those who could have, who should have, but who did not support my lawsuit against GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) because they reject the aforesaid plank and/or because they support political affiliation discrimination and/or age discrimination. I would focus on Republican U.S. Senators, Republican U.S. Representatives, their staffs, their political consultants, and their major donors. The aforesaid knew that my being denied my 7th Amendment right to a jury trial, that is, that GAO getting a summary judgement in its favor would affirm and embolden GAO to discrimination even more against its employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who did not make GS-13 (currently $104,915) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $123,978) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $145,831) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $176,300) by age 40. Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)

Chicago Car Exchangehttps://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-7th-circuit/1385001.html ), the Appellate Court accepted my argument that DOT’s old car exemption was invalid because DOT did not have authority to grant such exemptions. However, soon thereafter, a) Congress and the Clinton Administration acquiesced to the wishes of the automobile and truck manufacturers and dealers and their lobbyists, amended the Federal Odometer Act, and gave DOT the exemption authority it lacked and b) DOT reissued all the exemptions that it had previously granted including exemptions for sellers of old cars and heavy trucks and for manufactures of cars and trucks.)
