CHICAGO DEFENDER
— I did not even try to get a student loan. My ACT score was only 24. I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my class. I washed dishes during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. But because I worked my way through college, I was able to buy a new townhome in University Park when I was 24 in 1972.
https://chicagocrusader.com/unsettling-accounts-illinois-confronting-growing-student-loan/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With $49,000 in student loan debt, Josue Villalpando figured becoming a homeowner was a long way off. “The thought of purchasing a home was definitely floating around, however I never actually looked into it knowing that I had such a big burden with my student loans,” he said. A recent graduate of the University of Illinois Chicago, Villalpando, 29, took out private loans to pay for college. Unlike federal student loans, private loans typically have higher interest rates and fewer forgiveness programs, making them harder for borrowers to pay off. Then, his fiancé came across the SmartBuy program – an initiative set up by the state to help incentivize residents to purchase a home while paying off their student loan debt, one of the leading factors delaying homeownership among young adults. SmartBuy pays up to $40,000 in student loans and contributes up to $5,000 towards a down payment or closing costs at the time of purchase.)

The more planks in the Republican Party platform that Republicans promote, the harder that Democrat plants work against those Republicans. They work extremely hard against me because I promote all the planks in the Republican Party platform, and especially its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. I should write about those Democrat plants who have worked the hardest against me since 2000.

— 20 Democratic-led states sued the Trump administration on Monday for withholding more than $6 billion in federal funds for several education programs nationwide. Many low-income families will lose access to after-school programs if the money isn’t released soon. What did you do while you were in high school? During my freshman and sophomore years, I did yard work. During all 4 years, I delivered newspapers. During my junior and senior years, I washed dishes.

NBC5
— These Republicans could challenge Gov. JB Pritzker’s reelection bid. The first day petitions can be submitted for the March primary will arrive early next month.
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-politics/these-republicans-could-challenge-gov-jb-pritzkers-reelection-bid/3789070/
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/video-republican-field-takes-shape-to-oppose-pritzker-reelection-bid/3789117/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So far, DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick and businessman Joe Severino have announced they intend to run for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, but they could be joined by several others, including Rep. Darin LaHood, who is weighing options between a bid for the governor’s mansion or the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Dick Durbin. His team told NBC Chicago Political Reporter Mary Ann Ahern that he is still weighing his options ahead of the Aug. 5 start of the petition season. Aaron Del Mar, former lieutenant governor candidate and the chairman of the Cook County Republican Party, is also weighing a potential run, and he says he sees a path forward for any candidate seeking to deny Pritzker a third term in office. “There is a strong donor base, but you just need to talk to them and convince them that this state is worth investing in,” he said. “There are some concerns about running against the richest elected official in the United States. Illinois is worth saving, and worth investing in, and somebody needs to put Illinois first, and our campaign will display that same motto in action.” Ted Dabrowski, president of the media outlet Wirepoints, which focuses on economic and government issues in Illinois, is also considering a run, reaching out to donors as part of that effort, according to Ahern’s reporting.)
— Who has the advantage in the race for Dick Durbin’s Senate seat?  Three Democrats are vying for the seat, while the Republican primary remains largely up in the air. One could compare and contrast the Illinois Republican U.S. Senate 2004 primary ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_United_States_Senate_election_in_Illinois ) with the 2026 primary. All five announced candidates  (John Cox, Chirinjeev Kathuria, Andrew McKenna, Jim Oberweis, and  Jack Ryan) walked in Wheaton’s 2003 Independence Day parade and then attended a picnic in the Prairie Path Park in my precinct. My critics/opponents were not only furious that Ryan won the primary instead of their candidate McKenna, they blamed me for McKenna’s defeat. I was not only the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, I was also an officer of the Illinois Center Right Coalition and TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois. Neither organization endorsed McKenna. Ryan withdrew after he won the primary and then the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee replaced him with Alan Keyes who lost to Obama.
https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/who-has-the-advantage-in-the-race-for-dick-durbins-senate-seat/3789209/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the other side of the aisle, several names have been floated on the Republican side to run for Durbin’s Senate seat. Insiders said Richard Porter is considering a bid. Porter’s largely been behind the scenes, working as a suburban attorney and former Republican national committeeman. He also worked for former President George W Bush’s administration as a domestic policy adviser to the president and counselor to former Vice President Dan Quayle. U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood is also eyeing the Senate race, but he would have to give up his congressional seat to do so. He has also been rumored to be eyeing a run for Illinois governor, but will make his decision in coming weeks. The last Illinois Republican to serve in the Senate was Mark Kirk. He lost re-election to Duckworth in 2016.)

Later known as the Loretto Convent, the mansion has a Tudor facade, hand-carved woodwork and seven distinctive gables. In 2017, the entire 10,000-square-foot, 730-ton structure was relocated 500 feet and placed on a new foundation. The house now has modern infrastructure, all-new mechanicals, including zoned central heating and air conditioning, and public utilities. In the Loretto subdivision, the home has seven bedrooms, six full bathrooms, one half-bath and a newly built, attached three-car garage. There is also an unfinished lower level with 10-foot ceilings.)

— Supreme Court allows Trump to lay off nearly 1,400 Education Department employees. The Democrats who ran GAO used Gingrich budget cuts to get rid of more than 3,000 GAO employees including me, but they spread it out. Virtually all those who they got rid of were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.

WASHINGTON POST
— Supreme Court allows deep layoffs at Education Department. GAO works for Congress. Gingrich should have reformed GAO instead of gutting it. If he had reformed GAO, I might still be working for GAO. In any event, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to a) force me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) always rank me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delay my promotions and never promote me beyond GS-13, d) keep me off audits of IRS except for 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and e) force me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980.

USA TODAY
— Reasons why you’re not getting promoted. Democrats run the federal government. My Democrat superiors delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13 not only because I refused to become a Democrat, but because I ever-increasingly complained about their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/06/30/5-mistakes-preventing-promotion/84376177007/
— Should I take a buyout. My Democrat GAO superiors always wanted to get rid of me and my coworkers who shared my demographics. In 1993, when I was 45 years old, they “offered” those like me who had 25 or more years of federal service a $25,000 buyout if we retired early. They succeeded in forcing me to retire 4 years later just before their “offer” expired. I would not have been eligible for regular retirement for another 6 years. Beyond the tremendous negative financial impact of being forced to retire early, it gives your critics/opponents something very big to use against you. They will hint/imply/argue/shout that the real reason why you were forced to retire early is that you are a bad person. Further, the more qualifications that you have, the more that they will hint/imply/argue/shout that the real reason why you were forced to retire early is that you are a bad person. When my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire, I had three job-related master’s degrees, six job-related professional certifications, and a job-related professional license.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/06/28/jobs-buyout-layoffs-recession-economy-tips/84383588007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You’ve been offered a buyout. Your employer wants to pay you to quit. It’s a big chunk of change. Should you accept? Companies offer buyouts to thin the ranks, spending money in the short term to save money in the long run. Employers often leverage buyouts to avoid layoffs. And that thought, alone, should give you pause. The Trump administration offered buyouts to the entire federal workforce this year, aiming to reduce it by as much as 10%. Roughly 75,000 workers accepted.)

— Republicans lining up against Pritzker
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/07/14/republicans-lining-up-against-pritzker-00450761
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A few Republicans are looking to get in the ring. Ted Dabrowski and Aaron Del Mar are testing the waters, speaking with GOP insiders and potential donors about mounting campaigns. They would face DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, who’s already jumped in, and Joseph Severino who’s posted in social media that he’s running, too. Darren Bailey, who challenged Pritzker in 2024, hasn’t made any decisions yet about 2026. Jeanne Ives, who ran in 2018, says she’s not running. And though state Rep. Dan Ugaste and Posen Park District Supervisor Phil Perez toyed with the idea, neither will run for governor in 2026. Mendrick, a law-and-order candidate, has raised just $127,000 since he announced in February, according to filings with the state. Dabrowski and Del Mar, who are better known around the state for their work in policy and politics, would likely have an easier time raising funds. Del Mar is recognized in party circles across the state as he’s a former co-chair of the Illinois GOP and current Cook County Republican chair who ran as lieutenant governor alongside Gary Rabine in 2022. Dabrowski is president of Wirepoints Corp., the conservative-leaning media company. While he lacks campaign experience, he’s a former banking executive and policy wonk whose fiscal message could resonate at a time of economic uncertainty. Severino has made two unsuccessful bids for Congress, first as a Republican and then as an Independent. Along with the money challenge, messaging will be an issue for GOP candidates as Pritzker and his Democratic Party will blame Republicans and President Donald Trump for the megabill that’s giving tax breaks to the wealthy and cutting Medicaid and food assistance programs. . .Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders held a fundraiser in Barrington the other day at the home of Rick and Alisa Heidner. Among the attendees were Illinois Congressman Darin LaHood, Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, state Sen. Andrew Chesney, political strategist Brett Corrigan, businessman and 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate Gary Rabine, possible 2026 gubernatorial candidate Aaron Del Mar, Illinois National Republican Committee member Dean White, former Chicago GOP Chair Eloise Gerson and McHenry County Clerk Joe Tirio.)

— Cleared to Lay Off Workers, Some Federal Agencies Find Many Already Left. Thousands of workers in government jobs have taken buyouts or retired early. Many say morale is low. Ever-increasingly, after I transferred from IRS to GAO when I was 31 year old in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors made I ever-increasingly clear that they wanted to get rid of me because I refused to become a Democrat. Nevertheless, to thwart their ever-increasing efforts to get rid of me, a) I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) I became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) I earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and e) I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. However, that was not enough. They succeeded in forcing me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write about the aforesaid.

My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother had never attended high school. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I spent my junior and senior years and the summer in between washing dishes.

— How much money did your parents have? My critics/opponents have always painted my parents, and therefore me, as having been filthy rich a) because my father made enough money that my mother could stay home and raise me and my brother and b) because they sent me and my brother to Missouri Synod Lutheran grade schools K-8. But my father never earned more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. I had to work my way through college.

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— How I Lost My Career and Started Delivering Mail. No one expects to have to start over from the bottom rung at age 50. But when the pandemic struck, marketing professional Stephen Starring Grant rose to the challenge. (COMMENT: I worked for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969, part-time while I took classes at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU in 1969 and full-time during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969. My Democrat superiors forced me to resign in September of 1969 falsely arguing that I would not be available to work enough part-time hours. I was available every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, holiday, and every day that NIU was not in session. They would not have forced me to resign if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)
https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/how-i-lost-my-career-and-started-delivering-mail-c238d934
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I was being laid off. My skill set was not particularly practical; I wasn’t a cardiologist or a plumber. My work in the two decades before the pandemic had a bunch of names—Brand Strategist, Marketing Consultant, Consumer Psychologist—but getting a new marketing job was going to be a near impossibility for the foreseeable future. It was certainly never going to happen before my health insurance ran out in a couple of weeks. Which was a problem, because a couple of months earlier I had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. My cancer was as benign as cancer gets, but what had seemed manageable, treatable, now loomed as an existential issue. Not to mention that I was a husband and a father of two teenage girls, who counted on me to keep them in the upper middle class. To get unemployment, I had to be actively searching for a new job. I would go on the Virginia Employment Commission website, find anything I was even remotely qualified for and apply. I lived in Blacksburg, the small town in far western Virginia where I’d grown up, but the jobs I’d find myself applying to were almost all in Northern Virginia. Locally, there was nothing. Except for a job as a part-time letter carrier with the U.S. Postal Service. It paid $18.50 an hour, and it came with healthcare on day one. The pay cut was eye-watering: I hadn’t worked a job at that wage level since my early 20s. But I would definitely enjoy working outdoors for a change—and independently. Some people give up after things happen to them. Others get back up, over and over again. We think of this as a strength, as grit, determination, willpower. This kind of toughness has always struck me as essential to the Appalachian character. If you get laid off or shot, or people yell at you and call you an idiot or tell you that you’ll never amount to a goddamned thing, don’t think about it. Just get back up and try again. After two weeks of training, I was assigned to fill in for the regular mailman on Rural Route 3, a monster 60 miles in length, with 724 deliveries. The whole middle section of the route, a long slide downhill to the river, was so remote that it received no cellphone service. I might as well have been delivering the mail in 1920 and not 2020. . .Did I believe I was a mailman? I was lousy at my job, still very stuck on how slow I was. I saw myself as a faker being chased by the clock. But I got better over the months to come. There were days when the mail was light and the weather good and delivering the mail was the best of all possible jobs, the work a joy, the solitude a gift. I knew I was never going to be great at it, in the way that I will never be an NFL quarterback or play electric guitar like Eddie Van Halen. I delivered the mail for a year before I found a new job in marketing, and the best grade I ever deserved was a solid B-/C+. Even with that I think my greatest accomplishment was not quitting. And yet, somewhere in those early months, change did come. Letter by letter I was learning. I got tougher. I became capable of delivering everything that I loaded into my truck in the morning. The economics of delivering the mail were unsentimental—paying for my mortgage and groceries cost more than I was bringing in. But out there on Route 3 the job became more than just a financial delaying tactic. I was inhabiting something real, feeling what it was like to be there for people. I had become a mailman.)

https://hoodline.com/2025/06/subcommittee-debates-potential-erosion-of-meritocracy-by-dei-initiatives/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Recent discussions at a Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services hearing have sparked controversy over the impact and intention of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The critical focus of the hearing, titled “Sacrificing Excellence for Ideology: The Real Cost of DEI,” examined the assertion that these progressive policies potentially erode the foundation of meritocracy and individualism within several sectors, including education, government, and the workforce. According to a release by the subcommittee, members discussed possibilities of following former President Trump’s lead to foster what they view as genuine equality, based on individual effort and merit.)

I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. They succeeded in keeping off audits of IRS until 1986,that  but then succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS after 1988 for the rest of my GAO employment. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980. I had passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I had become a licensed CPA in 1981. I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997.

What did you do when you were 19?  I turned 19 in September of 1967. I lived with my parents and brother in Crete. I was a full-time UIC student. I worked part-time for the Park Forest Post Office.

— Democrat leaders say that they stand with government employees. But Democrat leaders stand only with their government employees who are Democrat and minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. Because I was none of the aforesaid, no Democrat leader stood with me when Republican Gingrich gutted GAO during the 1980s and 1990s. Democrat leaders were overjoyed when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire and replaced me in 1997 with my Democrat Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, and had no professional license like the one I had. It is called patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The truth is, government doesn’t work without the professionals who show up every day to serve the public. Effectiveness depends on more than elected officials or public leaders. It requires the daily efforts of those working quietly behind the scenes. Their roles are rarely glamorous or celebrated, yet they perform them diligently because they believe in something bigger than themselves.

THE HILL
— The NextGen Bar Exam is DEI in action, dangerously lowering standards. Every time that Democrat and RINO leaders lower standards, my having done the following means more. I passed the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt. I became a licensed CPA. I earned four more job-related professional certifications. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree.
https://thehill.com/opinion/education/5359119-the-nextgen-bar-exam-is-dei-in-action-dangerously-lowering-standards/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The American legal profession is in crisis, and the NextGen Bar Exam is the latest symptom of a disease that’s rapidly metastasizing: the abandonment of merit in favor of ideological box-checking. For decades, the bar exam was the last line of defense — a rigorous filter ensuring that only those with real legal chops could represent the public. Today, that filter is being shredded, sacrificed on the altar of equity and inclusion. The result? A collapse in standards, the death of meritocracy, and a profession on the brink of irrelevance. The NextGen Bar Exam, set to roll out in 2026, is not about modernizing legal education or making better lawyers. It is about making the exam easier to pass. Out go the demanding essays and complex legal analysis; in come more multiple-choice questions and “practical” scenarios that test little more than common sense and the ability to regurgitate buzzwords. The new mantra is “minimal competence,” a phrase so hollow as to be meaningless. The new system benefits neither clients, who deserve skilled and well-prepared advocates, nor the public, who depend on lawyers to guide them through a complex legal system. The only winners are bureaucrats and activists obsessed with “equity.” And even then, this is not to say that the new bar somehow guarantees equality of opportunity. Rather, it tries to force equality of outcome, no matter how much the universal bar must be lowered in the process. In truth, the NextGen Bar Exam is DEI ideology in action. By blaming the bar exam itself, rather than differences in preparation or effort, for unequal pass rates among various groups, the legal establishment has chosen to lower the standards until everyone passes. This is neither fairness nor justice, but the soft bigotry of low expectations, institutionalized. DEI has become a Trojan horse, smuggling mediocrity into the heart of the legal profession. Instead of demanding that all aspiring lawyers rise to meet high standards, the system now bends over backward to ensure that the standards themselves are erased. The message is clear: merit is out, identity is in. The legal profession was once a meritocracy. It didn’t matter where you came from or what you looked like — if you could master the law, you could make it. That’s what made American law great — it consisted of the best and brightest, tested and proven. Now, that ideal is being tossed aside. The NextGen Bar Exam is just the latest example, following major formatting changes to the LSAT to “reduce anxiety” and the proliferation of alternative “pathways” to licensure that bypass rigorous testing altogether. This isn’t just a legal education problem. It is a societal problem. When we stop rewarding excellence and start rewarding box-checking, we get a weaker, less competent, and less trustworthy profession. As a result, we end up with lawyers who lack essential skills in writing, reasoning, and effective advocacy, in turn, undermining the credibility of our justice system. If this trend continues, the outcome is inevitable: Clients will find themselves represented by lawyers who only managed to pass a watered-down exam. Our courts will be overwhelmed by incompetence, and the already fragile reputation of the legal profession will deteriorate further. Those who will suffer most are everyday Americans — people who need legal help, not just a participation trophy. The legal profession must wake up before it’s too late. Reform is acceptable and necessary when things are made better. But what’s happening now is not reform, it is surrender. Surrender to ideology and mediocrity. Surrender to the idea that the only way to achieve “equity” is to undermine true merit. The NextGen Bar Exam is a disaster in the making. It is time for lawyers, judges, educators, and the public to speak out and demand a return to merit, rigor, and excellence. The fate of the legal profession and the trust of those it serves now hang in the balance.)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/federal-eye/wp/2015/04/03/would-the-government-have-hired-you-in-1956/
(FROM TRHE ARTICLE: The old civil service exam was introduced in 1955, a proctored, pencil-and-paper test that thousands of Americans took each year to get federal jobs. It was called the Federal Service Entrance Examination. A brochure called “Futures in the Federal Government” opened with these words: “Wanted: People of Promise” and urged Americans to take the exam. Starting salaries were listed at $4,040. The civil service exam is making a comeback. The old test was eventually thrown out after legal challenges found that it discriminated against minority groups, who did poorly.)

http://www.allgov.com/news/unusual-news/us-government-brings-back-civil-service-exams-after-34-year-gap-150407?news=856171
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Joining the federal workforce these days can involve doing something other federal workers haven’t had to do since the early 1980s: take a test. The federal government abolished the civil service exam in 1981 following multiple discrimination lawsuits that claimed the test was biased against minorities. But with so many people applying to become federal employees, some agencies decided to bring back the civil service exam, albeit in a much newer and modern format that tries to avoid being unfair to blacks and Hispanics. About 10% of would-be bureaucrats at three dozen government agencies—including the departments of Defense, Justice, and Health and Human Services—will take the USA Hire test that utilizes “animated avatars and videos to simulate challenges that could confront employees, testing their reasoning and problem-solving skills,” Lisa Rein wrote at The Washington Post. “Advances in technology allow the tests to scale questions; a correct answer leads to a harder question and an incorrect one ratchets down to an easier option. Scoring is instantaneous, an advance that can quickly winnow the pool of applicants,” Rein said. The test is designed to gauge an applicant’s general aptitude as well as teamwork, problem solving, judgment and specific job skills. Civil service exams originated in 1955 as the Federal Service Entrance Examination. At that time, starting salaries for federal employment were $4,040.)

I volunteered to work all the overtime hours that I could 1966-1969, mostly Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, while I worked for the Democrats who ran the Park Forest Post Office. The money I earned helped me a) pay for my UIC and NIU expenses 1966-1970, b) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, c) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and d) graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 owning that Charger. But my GPA suffered.

In my defense, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970.  I earned a master’s degrees in business in 1976, accounting in 1980, and finance in 1997. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981.

SERVING THOSE WHO SERVE
— New Legislation Would Cut Your Federal Retirement Benefits. My critics/opponents have always demonized, denigrated, and condemned my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension (currently $66,780/year) and my 72% federal health insurance subsidy as being far too generous. In my defense, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years. During that time, I paid 7% of my salary into the CSRS. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21. I earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48. I earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48. I earned a job-related professional license when I was 32. If my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, I might still be paying into the CSRS instead of getting a CSRS pension.

In my defense, I paid 7% of my federal salary into the CSRS. In my defense, if my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to retire, I might still be working for GAO and paying into the CSRS. Constructively, so far, in today’s dollars, my Democrat GAO superiors have forced CSRS to pay me $1.85 million to stop me from working for GAO.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to data from the Social Security Administration, you need to make $794,129 annually to be in the top 1% of wage earners in the U.S. This is based on an analysis of the most recently available wage data. To break this down further, you’d need to earn about $66,178 per month, or about $15,272 per week, to be in the top 1% of income earners. . .Here’s how much you need to make to be in the top 5% and the top 10% in America: Top 5% income threshold: $352,773  Top 10% income threshold: $148,812  As you can see, earning just under $150,000 puts you in the top 10% of all wage earners in the U.S. This doesn’t put you in the elite class of top 1% earners, but you make more, on average, than 90% of American households.)

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— Trump’s Trade School Trojan Horse. Were you viewed as being college material? I was not. Neither of my parents had attended college. My father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I could not run because I had a bone disease. My eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20. I had partial red/green color blindness. I washed dishes during my junior and senior years and the summer in between. But nevertheless, I took college preparatory courses, got an ACT score of 24, graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and got accepted by UIC. That enabled me to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license.
