— Under federal scrutiny, Madigan, Solis collecting lucrative government pensions. The former speaker just got his first check amid an ongoing investigation. The ex-alderman has gotten nearly $170K since resigning. Pensions of other pols facing probes are uncertain. – Tim Novak (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me the most because I have had since I was 49 years old in 1997 a) an inflation-adjusted Civil Service Retirement System pension (currently, $4,572/month $54,864/year) and b) a 72% health, dental, and vision insurance federal subsidy. I would focus on those who have demonstrated their unbridled hatred the most against federal employees and against federal retirees. In my defense, I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years – almost 18 for GAO, 9 for IRS, and 3 for the Post Office. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Madigan, 78, lost the speaker’s post in a vote in January of his Democratic colleagues in the House, then resigned from the House seat he held for 50 years and also stepped aside as chairman of the Illinois Democratic Party. He got his first pension check — for $7,093 — on March 24. Madigan’s annual pension is $85,117. It will increase 75% in July 2022, to $148,955. That huge increase is the result of two factors — an automatic 3% cost-of-living increase and 24 other increases of 3% each, one for each year he served once he reached his 55th birthday and 20 years of service. During his time as speaker, Madigan contributed $352,345 to the General Assembly Retirement Fund. He stands to recoup all of that in about three years.)

I was a member of the working class 1962-1997. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard 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.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— The Real Five Laws of American Politics – John Green
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/03/the_real_five_laws_of_american_politics.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The American Political Science Association asserts that there are Five laws of politics. These are: Only a minority of citizens will ever vote, Incumbents always have an advantage, It’s rare for anyone to garner over 60% of the vote, Incumbents loose support during their term, and Parties tend to alternate in office. . .However, I believe you’ll find them much more predictive of American political behavior, and associated outcomes, than mere observations. Law 1 – Democrats accuse Republicans of doing that which they’ve already done. . .Law 2 – When it’s most critical, Republicans will never work as a team. . .Law 3 – Politicians assert that they are following the science, when their intent is to curtail personal freedoms. . .Law 4 – When the government offers to help, the best result is achieved by declining. . .Law 5 – When Politicians invest taxpayer money, the investors shouldn’t expect any return. . .To summarize: The next time a Democrat accuses a Republican of a scandal, start an investigation — of the Democrat. When Republicans say they’ll work together if we just give them a chance — start identifying primary challengers. Never give up God-given liberties in the name of science — which is never really settled. When the government says, “we’re here to help,” ask them to help by leaving. Finally, the next time a politician “invests” your money, recognize that it’s state-sponsored robbery — you’re not getting anything back.)

That money also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in October 1971 and to pay tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola starting in January 1972. I had graduated debt-free from NIU August 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. The money for tuition, books, and room and board came from what I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office November 1966-September 1969.)
