BREAKTHROUGH IDEAS
— December 31, 2023 Newsletter: The Sanctuary Problem
https://www.breakthrough-ideas.com/blog
(FROM THE NEWSLETTER: Here are some important questions to ask your uncurious elected officials: 1. How many “newcomers” have entered your schools in the last two years and how does that compare to the previous five years? 2. It is against the law for landlords to ask about immigration status. Do you have any way of tracking how many illegals are renting in the community or being otherwise housed by non-profits? 3. How many illegals are using local food pantries, and are they having supply issues? 4. What hard benefits are illegals receiving? Debit cards, transport, housing support? 5. What is the usage and cost of services at medical facilities by illegals, and are the organizations getting paid for the services, or is it documented as charity care? 6. Is there a separate tracking system the public can see that shows incidents of any crimes committed by illegals, and if not, why not? 7. What are our community’s specific responses to the migrant issue? 8. For state officials – How much is this costing? Who is getting the contracts for all the support? Is there a daily tracker on the costs and numbers of illegals?)

I should write a book about all the Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 who have lost elections. I would focus on those who dumped the most planks in the Republican Party platform.)

— For Donald Trump’s Family, an Immigrant’s Tale With 2 Beginnings – Jason Horowitz (COMMENT: What do you say to those who have asked me why I never pretended to be Swedish?)
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/22/us/politics/for-donald-trumps-family-an-immigrants-tale-with-2-beginnings.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the middle of the night, Friedrich Trump left his house in Kallstadt, a small town spotted with vineyards and a Lutheran church, for a northern port city that served as Germany’s gateway to America. A few days later, on Oct. 7, 1885, Friedrich, then 16 years old, bought a steerage-class ticket on the S.S. Eider, the start of an adventurous life as a barber, restaurateur, saloonkeeper, hotelier, entrepreneur, gold rush prospector, shipwreck survivor and New York real estate investor. It was an immigrant tale that would make any family proud. But for decades, the Trumps almost never talked about it. Friedrich Trump’s son, Fred, came of age between the World Wars, a period marked by resentment of and even discrimination toward Germans in the United States. More important, he was marketing his properties to the growing Jewish middle class filling up the old farmsteads of central Brooklyn and Queens. During his presidential campaign, Fred’s son Donald has occasionally run roughshod over Jewish sensibilities, notably with a post on Twitter that featured a six-pointed star and a pile of cash. But for many years, the Trumps went out of their way to avoid disquieting their Jewish friends and customers by burying their German identity. They told anyone who asked that they were Swedish. “He had thought, ‘Gee whiz, I’m not going to be able to sell these homes if there are all these Jewish people,’” said Donald J. Trump’s cousin John Walter, the Trump family historian, who has worked closely with Fred and Donald. And once they started portraying themselves as Swedish, they could not stop. “After the war, he’s still Swedish,” Mr. Walter said. “It was just going, going, going.” Even Mr. Trump, not known to be shy about embellishing facts, questioned the need. According to Mr. Walter, when Mr. Trump was working on his best seller “The Art of the Deal” in the mid-1980s, he asked his father, “Do I have to do this Swedish thing?”)
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: In Campus Protests Over Gaza, Echoes of Outcry Over Vietnam. The war in Vietnam ignited a protest movement that helped define a generation. Is the war between Israel and Hamas doing the same thing? – Michael Wines (COMMENT: The Vietnam War continues to have a tremendous negative impact on me My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes continue to punish me for my avoiding the Vietnam War draft with student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They punished me the most while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, Firestone Stores 1970-1972, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. They stress that I should have enlisted because I am conservative, Republican, and deemed 1-A for the draft. They stress that I am unmitigated coward because with my health problems (could not run because of a bone disease, eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and partially red/green color blind), I would not been sent into combat. They stress that if I had not avoided the Viet Nam War draft, I would not have been able to a) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, b) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, c) graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970, d) buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, e) buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, f) buy a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, g) earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, h) buy a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago in 1976, i) etc.)

— ‘Diversity’ just means discrimination. Aviva’s CEO has unwittingly revealed the backwardness of the ‘DEI’ agenda. – ALKA SEHGAL CUTHBERT (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote diversity, that is, they want more and more and more preference for those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, parents, veterans, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)
https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/12/21/diversity-just-means-discrimination/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Amanda Blanc, the chief executive of insurance company Aviva, has revealed that no white males can be recruited to senior posts without her say-so. Speaking last week at a Treasury Select Committee hearing on sexism in the finance industry, Blanc said that there can be ‘no non-diverse hire at Aviva without it being signed off by me and the chief people officer’. It was an admission that revealed a lot about the impact of the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) agenda on employment and public life more broadly. Thanks to DEI, it is now acceptable for a CEO to state that she will subject ‘non-diverse’ candidates – a coded reference to white males – to extra scrutiny. Which sounds very much like discrimination to me. This captures the through-the-looking-glass logic of DEI, a logic that menaces every principle of fairness and equality. After all, a fair approach to recruitment would ensure that vacancies are widely advertised so as to broaden the pool of applicants. That way, an organization can maximize its chances of finding the best applicant with the best set of skills and talents for the role advertised.)

— The End of Opposition Research? (COMMENT: Far too many who falsely claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for opposition research.

When I was young, applicants were needed for the following jobs: doing yard work, delivering newspapers, washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, delivering mail, working on an automobile assembly line, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, collecting delinquent taxes, and auditing federal agencies. What jobs do illegals want? What jobs are they qualified to take? What jobs will be offered to them? What jobs will they take? According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, all the jobs that I took were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take. If offered the bad jobs that I took, will illegals take them or refuse to stoop to take them?)

According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, a) all the jobs that I took were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take and b) I was grossly overpaid. To qualify myself for better paying jobs, a) I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree and three job-related master’s degrees, b) I earned six job-related professional certifications, and c) I earned a job-related professional license.)

— Overpaid (COMMENT: Are/were you overpaid? According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I was always grossly overpaid. In 1997, in today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $142,650/year. In my defense, a) I earned a job-related professional license (CPA-1981), b) I earned six job-related professional certifications (forensic accounting-1997, financial services auditing-1996, government financial management-1994, fraud examination-1990, internal auditing-1981, and accounting-1979), and c) I earned three job-related graduate degrees (IIT-finance-1997, DePaul-accounting-1980, and Loyola-business-1976) and a job-related bachelor’s degree (NIU-management-1970).)

GAO
— GAO’s mission is to provide Congress with fact-based, nonpartisan information that can help improve federal government performance and ensure accountability for the benefit of the American people. (COMMENT: While I worked for GAO 1980-1997, its mission was fighting government fraud, waste, and abuse. What is/were the missions of your employers? The importance of GAO’s mission helped me endure tremendous efforts by my Democrat GAO superiors to waste my career and to get rid of me. They forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980 when I was 31. They gave me bad/unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and performance appraisals. They delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS12, and GS-13 and they never promoted me to GS-14. They kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49. They would not have done the aforesaid if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Kane County Republican Party leadership issued a statement Saturday regarding the drop-off of 38 migrants on a bus sent from Texas on Dec. 21 at the Elburn Metra train station. The incident has been mirrored in other Chicago suburbs recently after the Chicago City Council passed an ordinance on Dec. 13 prohibiting buses from arriving and dropping people off in the city with no prior notice. “… Kane County witnessed yet another incident where busloads of migrants were callously dumped here from the U.S. border without prior warning or care for their well-being,” the statement said. “This is not an act of compassion but a systematic failure resulting in a criminal operation.” Signed by the Andro Lerario, chairman of the Kane County Republican Central Committee, the statement added, “This issue is no longer confined to the distant border; it’s happening right here in our neighborhoods.”)

https://nypost.com/2023/06/10/marco-rubios-new-book-explains-how-globalization-transformed-immigration/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) explains how these newcomers served as convenient sources of cheap labor — while upended long-standing patterns of assimilation and integration. . .many elites believe “it is better to import cheap labor and buy off Americans with cash welfare programs provided by the government” . . . For decades now, since our elites began to believe that global market integration was an inherent good that should take precedence over all else — particularly patriotism, national unity, and the welfare of American workers — this country has prioritized the importation of cheap labor. . .But not every business could be exported, which meant Wall Street simply figured out how to import cheap labor, much of it coming from illegal immigrants. This was a slower, more subtle process. . .More often than not, it is about jobs Wall Street doesn’t want Americans to do because hiring Americans would require higher wages and better working conditions. To them, it is better to import cheap labor and buy off Americans with cash welfare programs provided by the government.)

The author of Money Magazine’s February 1978 4-page article on me was very puzzled why I did not try to hide the fact that I was 100% German American and Protestant.

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/miacathell/2023/12/20/will-lawsuit-dei-state-bar-n2632570
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The State Bar of Wisconsin is being sued for promoting discriminatory DEI practices based on race and sexual orientation. Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) launched a lawsuit Wednesday against the Wisconsin State Bar on behalf of a State Bar member who is compelled to pay mandatory membership dues that functionally fund DEI programming he argues unfairly discriminates against him as well as thousands of Wisconsin attorneys on the basis of racial and sexual identity. Specifically, the State Bar of Wisconsin’s “Diversity Clerkship Program” offers exclusive internship opportunities—ones that should be open to everyone, WILL’s client says—only to certain minority law students or those who self-identify as LGBTQ+. Some of Wisconsin’s largest law firms and government agencies participate in the race- and sexuality-based Diversity Clerkship Program, including the ACLU of Wisconsin, the Milwaukee City Attorney’s Office, and the Wisconsin Department of Justice. The application itself requires prospects to submit personal statements, “an extremely important factor” in the “race-based selection criteria,” detailing how they “contributed to diversity” and have “demonstrat[ed] their commitment to diversity.” . . . WILL additionally argues that the program “advocates for supplanting equal opportunity with equal outcome” and “violates the free speech rights of students by discriminating against those who will not profess a commitment to this [DEI] ideology.”)

ACCOUNTING TODAY
— The new shape of the CPA exam – Daniel Hood (COMMENT: Who do you know that passed CPA examination? My passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was a 30-year-old GS-12 IRS employee was one of my biggest accomplishments in my life. Only about 20% of those who take the examination pass it on their first attempt. But because I was conservative, Republican, White, male, non-veteran, Protestant, 100% German American, my ancestors had been in America since 1844, a union member, a Crete resident 1948-1972, a Wheaton resident since 1978, and I had complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, my Democrat IRS superiors made it clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. Because of that, in 1980, I took a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10 to transfer to GAO. But my Democrat GAO superiors did not promote me to GS-13 until 1986 and that was after I had completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and became a licensed CPA in 1981.)

(FRM THE ARTICLE: Mazi Melesa Pilip would seem to check all the boxes for a solid GOP candidate, Politico reported. She is a two-term Republican member of the Nassau County Legislature who has championed law enforcement and low property taxes. She is also a pro-Israel Orthodox Jew and has even served in the Israel Defense Forces. However, Pilip has been a registered Democrat since 2012, Politico reported, citing public records it had “uncovered.” “The Nassau County Board of Elections’ spokesperson called [Politico] on Pilip’s behalf and confirmed she is an enrolled Democrat.” Commenting on the situation, the outlet noted, “It seems like New York’s 3rd Congressional [District] is destined for drama.” Business Insider reported that the Ethiopian-born Pilip “professes to be” a Republican, despite the evidence uncovered by Politico. In securing the New York GOP nod, she “beat out a slew of other hopeful GOP nominees,” including a U.S. Air Force veteran and another IDF veteran. Pilip will be running against Democrat Tom Suozzi, a former House member who stepped down in 2022 to run for governor of New York. He lost the Democratic nomination to incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul. Politico described Pilip as a “firebrand” and added that she is “a popular figure in Great Neck, where she lives with her seven children.” The special election to fill Santos’ vacant seat will be held on Feb. 13, according to Business Insider.)

DAILY MAIL
— Chicago has spent $138 MILLION on city’s migrant crisis in 14 months after 26,000 were bused in – more cash than was given to city’s public library network.
About 26,000 migrants arrived in the city by buses since August last year. The city spent nearly a million on the shuttered migrant camp at Brighton Park. – DOLORES CHANG

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Rep. Blaine Wilhour of the Illinois Freedom Caucus has a primary fight on his hands. If nothing else, a barrage of union money aimed at Wilhour could divert “Eastern Bloc” resources away from their hoped-for battle against Rep. Dave Severin. – Rich Miller (COMMENT: In 2000, when I first ran for DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 9 Republican Committeeman, those to the left of me had a woman to the left of me run against me. But with a written endorsement from both Randy Hultgren and Peter Roskam, I won.)
https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/2023/12/16/24003512/rep-blaine-wilhour-illinois-freedom-caucus-primary-fight-eastern-bloc-rich-miller
(FRM THE ARTICLE: Several weeks ago, Illinois Department of Corrections employee Matt Hall started quietly circulating petitions to run against Wilhour in the Republican primary. The Illinois Education Association confirmed it had been looking for a candidate to challenge Wilhour. A union spokesperson said the IEA did not recruit Hall but said, “We are excited about his candidacy and believe our members who live in the district will be as well.” Asked if he would accept union contributions, Hall said, “I will accept everyone’s support, and I expect to get everyone’s support.” He said he decided to run because Wilhour “quit doing what I think a state representative needs to do,” including being responsive to constituents. “He just doesn’t do anything,” Hall said. “In my opinion, all he does is kick and scream and doesn’t get anything passed.” Wilhour also hasn’t stopped any Democratic bills, Hall claimed. “We need to learn how to work together and get things done and care about this district.” In response, Rep. Wilhour said: “A primary fight with the teachers’ union has been a foregone conclusion. It’s always been about them finding their tool willing to carry their woke agenda.” People on Wilhour’s side are convinced House GOP Leader McCombie is somehow behind Hall’s race. “I prefer not to speak of who I’ve had contact with,” Hall said when asked if he’d spoken with McCombie about his candidacy. A McCombie aide said the leader was focused on holding and picking up seats. Hall ended up filing his petitions. They were solid, and he had help from the IEA. Interestingly enough, a formal objection was filed against Rep. Wilhour’s petitions. “It looks like a concerned citizen filed the complaint, and we’re interested to see what comes of it,” said an IEA spokesperson. Sure. Anyway, if Hall manages to beat Wilhour, a shockwave will reverberate through the far right of the party. But, if nothing else, a barrage of union money aimed at Wilhour could divert Eastern Bloc resources away from their hoped-for battle against Rep. Severin.)

–Affirmative Action was imposed on businesses, through government mandates justified by the Civil Rights Act, but it has also been willingly embraced by them. – Matthew Schmitz (COMMENT: How has AA impacted you? Democrats a) benefit from Affirmative Action (AA) and b) make Republicans who are White, male, non-veteran, and/or older pay the price of AA. I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. They made me pay the price of AA big time. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, GAO forced me to take its early retirement “offer” so that it could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Democrat Black subordinate which is exactly what it did. All my coworkers who they promoted over me were Democrats a) who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time and b) who had less job-related work experience, less job-related education, and/or no professional certifications or licenses. I earned a) job-related bachelor’s degree in 1970, b) job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, c) job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and d) a job-related professional license in 1981.)

In my defense, I stress that while I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years (Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1989, and GAO 1980-1997), many Blacks were my coworkers and more than a few were my superiors, supervisors, and subordinates.

All my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government were many, most, if not virtually all of the aforesaid.)

— WHAT DOES THE WORKING CLASS REALLY WANT? Vying for its crucial support, neither Democrats nor Republicans are focusing on the essential question. – George Packer (COMMENT: My critics/opponents look down on, despise, if not hate the working class. They stress that I did yard work 1962-1964, delivered newspapers 1962-1966, washed dishes 1964-1966, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, delivered mail 1966-1969, worked on an automotive assembly line in 1970, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971, pumped gasoline 1971-1972, collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980, and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)

PHILADELPHIA MAGAZINE
— More People in Their 40s and 50s Are Pursuing Graduate Degrees (COMENT: I earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48. I earned master’s degrees in business (Loyola 1976), accounting (DePaul 1980), and finance (IIT 1997). I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I passed the Certified Internal Auditing examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980 and GAO 1980-1997. I started taking graduate evening finance courses at IIT in 1992 when I was 43, and after I completing 14 courses, I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. I did that a) because my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear to me that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS and b) because my GAO supervisor had made it clear to her employees that she wanted/demanded her employees to have such degrees. I succeed in getting her appointed to the program’s advisory committee. But in September of 1997, she flushed all that down her toilet. She played a very big role in forcing me to take GAO’s early retirement “offer” so that she could give my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had shunned the program. And that is exactly what she did.)

HR DRIVE
— While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office 1980-1997, they assigned me to supervise all their employees who were disabled. Further, they assigned me to supervise all their employees who were minority, female, unmarried, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time, had performance problems, and/or who they wanted to get rid of. I should write a book about that.

December 8, 2023

Ever-increasingly, Democrat leaders a) ever-increasingly bring more people into America illegally, b) falsely deny that they are doing that, and c) talk and act like those illegals will stay forever in America, they will soon be made citizens, and they will soon be voting officially for Democrats. RINO leaders are more than happy with that because RINO leaders want cheap labor.

On my mother’s side, they sharecropped a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border and then bought that farm.)

If there had been as many immigrants when I was young as there are now, they would have gotten the jobs that I got, and if not that, the wages that I earned would have been much lower. I was able to buy a new car when I was 17 with money that I earned working part-time for the minimum wage for 18 months.

ACCOUNTANCY AGE
— PwC alters recruitment process to foster diversity and inclusion. (COMMENT: Because I was 30 years old, that is, because I was “too old” and White and male, accounting firms had no interest in me when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and they continued to have no interest in me when I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in 1981. They continued to have no interest in me even though a) I had worked for IRS 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $92,279-$104,583/year, b) I had earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and c) I had worked for GAO since 1980. Of course, they gave weight to the fact that the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5 to GS-9 Step 10, to transfer from IRS to GAO and that they delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoted me to GS-14. My Democrat GAO superiors would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. The aforesaid is called age discrimination, reverse discrimination, political affiliation discrimination, and up-or-out. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

My Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted that offer. That directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. I needed a job to help support my mother and brother because my father had died suddenly in 1969 and my application for a financial hardship draft deferment was pending. Further, I got a) almost 3 years of full-time federal seniority that I had earned working for the Park Forest Post Office part-time while I was a student at UIC and NIU 1966-1969 and b) all the sick leave reinstated that I had earned but not used.)

https://www.creators.com/read/star-parker/12/23/our-ticking-ethnic-time-bomb

An ongoing shift of the population toward non-white demographics means that, assuming no change in voting behavior of these various groups, electing Republicans will become harder and harder.

— More U.S. companies no longer requiring job seekers to have a college degree – MEGAN CERULLO (COMMENT: To hire, retain, and promote more Democrats, the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997 ever-increasingly lowered their hiring, retention, and promotion requirements. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless a) my job-related bachelor’s degree (NIU management 1970), b) my three job-related master’s degrees (Loyola business 1976, DePaul accounting 1980, and IIT finance 1997), c) my six job-related professional certifications (accounting 1979, internal auditing 1981, fraud examination 1990, government financial management 1994, financial services auditing 1996, and forensic accounting 1997), and d) my job-related professional license (accounting 1981). All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less job-related work experience than I had, b) who had less job-related education than I had, c) who had no job-related professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or d) who had no professional license. While I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, they used Republican-led budget cuts to force the agency to get rid of more than half of its employees. Those Democrats could have, but did not, make having a job-related master’s degree, professional certification, and/or professional license a retention requirement.

— FRONT PAGE: Tuberville Drops Blockade of Most Military Promotions – Catie Edmondson (COMMENT: I should write a book about the harm done to GAO by Republican-led budget cuts 1980-1997. I would use as an example the harm done to my GAO career because of those budget cuts. GAO delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13 and never promoted me to GS-14. I would use as examples the many adverse actions that my Democrat GAO superiors took against me because of those budget cuts. The Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997 used those budget cuts to get rid of GAO’s Republican employees like me who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time.)

FOUNDATION FOR ECONOMIC EDUCATION
— Employer of Last Resort – Hans F. Sennholz (COMMENT: I was a federal employee for almost 30 years. According to Democrats and to RINOs, the federal government should be the employer of last resort and is the employer of last resort. According to them, federal jobs should be given to those who Republicans discriminate against, that is, to Democrats, RINOs, minorities, females, younger people, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. According to them, federal jobs should be given to those who the private sector does not want because they are not the “best and the brightest.” According to them, federal jobs should be given to those who have financial, health, and/or other problems. According to my critics/opponents, instead of me, all the federal jobs that I got and all the promotions that I got should have been given a) to Democrats, RINOs, minorities, females, younger people, veterans, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time, b) to those who the private sector did not want, and c) to those who had financial, health, and/or other problems. Further, according to my critics/opponents, because I got those jobs and promotions even though I was not a Democrat, RINO, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, my ancestors have been in America for a long time and I do not have financial, health, or other problems, it was because I was someone who the private sector did not want because I was not one of the “best and the brightest.” In my defense, the Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966, IRS in 1971, and GAO in 1980 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. By the time the Post Office hired me in 1966, I had passed the postal employment test, earned an ACT score of 24, graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and had started taking classes at UIC. By the time IRS hired me in 1971, I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination, earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, and worked for Firestone Stores for a year. By the time GAO hired me in 1980, I had gotten promoted by IRS three times, earned an MBA from Loyola, and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Resolved: That the federal government should provide employment for all employable United States citizens living in poverty. On the affirmative side students are expected to argue that the federal government shall strive to abolish poverty and, if necessary, act as employer of last resort. . .High school students at last are catching up with the political debate that has animated their elders since the first New Deal. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed to make the federal government the employer of last resort, proclaiming that “one third” of the American people were “underfed, under-clothed, and underhoused.” Thirty years later, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared his “war on poverty,” which was to liberate some twenty percent of the population. President Jimmy Carter, during his term of office, waged his special war on poverty. All three made the poverty of some 40 million Americans the central issue of their public policies. Indeed, all presidents have echoed a deep concern for the poor. And yet, the poor are still with us. Their faces have changed, but their numbers hardly ever vary. Armed with poverty statistics, their spokesmen suggest that past government efforts were half-hearted and indecisive. The war, they argue, must be carried on with unrelenting vigor and dedication until victory is won. They would make government the employer of last resort.)
