— Students selecting a college increasingly consider long-term job prospects, debt – Gail MarksJarvis (DIERSEN: Did you have a job offer when you were about to graduate? Before I graduated from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management, I had accepted a job offer from Firestone Stores. Did you have any debt when you graduated? I did not, and I owned a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. I paid for my college education with the money that earned working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office 1966-1969. In 1971, when I was 22 years old, IRS hired at the GS-7 level, currently $44,853. In 1972, IRS promoted me to GS-9, currently $54,864. In 1973, IRS promoted me to GS-11, currently $66,379. In 1974, IRS promoted me to GS-12, currently $79,563.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Only 46 percent of the students who were about to graduate in 2016 with bachelor’s degrees had a job offer, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, which does a survey of graduates each year. That’s an improvement over 2009, when only 41 percent had offers as the nation was coming out of the Great Recession, but it’s far below the 80 percent who were graduating with jobs before the recession, said association researcher Kenneth Tsang. In addition, pay levels have been stuck. Although college costs have been rising faster than inflation and the average college student with student loans leaves college with about $30,000 in debt, the survey has found that salaries aren’t budging. In 2016, the median salary for graduates who found jobs was $47,358, essentially flat for the last five years, Tsang said. Pay ranged from $65,000 for math majors to $31,000 for social science majors and $20,000 for those in the performing arts.)

— Why employers are reaching out to the next generation of workers: Gen Z – Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz (DIERSEN: If you seek a government office or a political office, sooner or later, your critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes will use against you what you did with your summers when you were young. I delivered newspapers and did yard work during the summers of 1962, 1963, and 1964. I washed dishes during the summer of 1965. I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline during the summer of 1966. I delivered mail during the summers of 1967, 1968, and 1969.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many teens spend their summers lifeguarding or ice-cream scooping. Not Evon Lopez. Lopez, at 16, spent the summer between her sophomore and junior years of high school interning at Abbott Laboratories. At graduation from the eight-week program last August, she delivered a PowerPoint presentation detailing, among other things, corporate safety initiatives at the north suburban health care company.)

— THE OFFICER MANAGER WHO WORE A WIRE AGAINST EX-CONGRESSMAN SCHOCK – Chuck Goudie
http://abc7chicago.com/news/the-officer-manager-who-wore-a-wire-against-schock-/1826860/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The I-Team looked into who it was that worked as an FBI informant inside the ranks of former Illinois Congressman Aaron Schock. Aaron Schock’s attorneys say the staffer who was wired for sound was his Peoria district office manager. Although not named in this week’s new Schock court filing, the only district manager during that time period was Bryan Rudolph, a political science and government degree-holder from Wheaton College. Prosecutors are likely to make Rudolph a key component of the government’s corruption case against former Schock, unless Schock’s lawyers can stop it. It was obvious from the time Schock was charged that federal agents had help from inside. His lawyers now claim in a new filing this week that Schock’s Peoria district manager “covertly record private conversations with and between Mr. Schock and his staff;” claiming the manager “stole” thousands of email messages and illegally took congressional office records. The manager then, whom the I-Team identified as 32-year-old Bryan Rudolph, consented to be an informant only after Schock had announced his resignation in March 2015, according to the defense filing. Rudolph, whose resume states that he began working for the federal government’s Social Security Administration in 2007, did not return messages or answer emails on Thursday concerning the undercover work or claims that evidence he gathered had been illegally obtained. Schock’s attorneys rip the government’s use of the staffer-turned-informant; in the court record they say that he broke the law by stealing information from the Illinois Republican’s files. They call it a trail of improper – if not outright illegal – acts. Schock is accused of numerous federal corruption charges including wire and mail fraud, theft of government funds and falsifying federal election filings. Prosecutors say he pocketed thousands in improper vehicle reimbursements, camera equipment and proceeds from selling tickets to the World Series and Super Bowl. Attorneys for Schock plan to ask that the case be thrown out because of how the informant evidence was gathered – or at least that the evidence collected by the office manager be barred from trial.)

CBS2
— Democrat Mendoza: Illinois Republican Party ‘Creepily Stalking’ Her – Derrick Blakley
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2017/03/30/democrat-mendoza-illinois-republican-party-creepily-stalking-her/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: An increasingly bitter political battle between two top Illinois officials has entered a new phase: car wars. As Democrat Susana Mendoza left the state capital Thursday and entered her state-purchased vehicle, she was followed by an Illinois GOP operative who shot video of her. Republicans later tweeted about Mendoza’s “loaded,” luxurious ride. The implication is that state government may be broke, but Mendoza’s living large on the taxpayer’s dime. Mendoza was furious, saying in a counter-tweet that the Illinois Republican Party was “creepily stalking me.” It’s the latest flap between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Mendoza over who’s doing the most to look out for taxpayers. But does the GOP’s charge really hold up? Mendoza’s ride is a 2016 Ford Explorer, purchased used in January, with 16,431 miles. Total cost was $32,279. An invoice provided to CBS 2 shows Gov. Rauner’s main ride is newer, larger and more expensive. It’s a Ford Expedition XLT with extended length. It was purchased new, last December, by state police, at a cost $54,000. That is 67 percent more than Mendoza’s car. A Rauner spokesperson points out state police purchased the new vehicle – not Rauner’s office – even though the governor uses it. State police, of course, report directly to the governor.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nearly three years after the start of what was then called “The Great War,” the United States entered World War I with a congressional declaration of war against Germany on April 6, 1917. Until then, President Woodrow Wilson had maintained a policy of non-intervention, and a strong antiwar sentiment had swept the U.S. as casualties mounted on the battlefields across Europe and beyond. But the growing threat of a powerful German navy and its fleet of submarines attacking American shipping, plus evidence that Germany was trying to draw Mexico to its side, persuaded Wilson to join forces with Great Britain and France.)

http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170327/BLOGS02/170329877/despite-poll-no-vote-now-on-legal-pot
(FROM THE ARTCLE: Steans was reacting to a survey by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois that found a stunning two-thirds of voters saying they support the legalization of pot “if taxed and regulated like alcohol.” . . . Support for full legalization was wide across the state and among political subdivisions. While such backing was strongest among Democrats, young people and Chicagoans, the plan gets support from 52 percent of Republicans surveyed, 54 percent of downstaters and 51 percent of those aged 66 and up, the institute said. Just 31 percent of voters overall indicated they oppose or strongly oppose such an action.)

— Yes, Illinois has a budget problem, but legalizing marijuana won’t fix it – Stephen Petersen, Downers Grove
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/letters/ct-yes-illinois-has-a-budget-problem-but-legalizing-marijuana-won-t-fix-it-20170324-story.html
(FROM THE LETTER: Do state Sen. Heather Steans and state Rep. Kelly Cassidy have no shame? The thought of legalizing marijuana for the purpose of raising revenue from the manufacture and sale of marijuana is yet one more example of stealing from the futures of our children to pay for lawmakers’ pet projects today. I have two children in high school and one in middle school. They are good kids, get good grades, and are active in scouts and the community. I hear stories from them of what some of the other students are up to at Downers Grove North. I read about the heroin epidemic and grieve for the families that have recently lost children. My children tell me they just say no, and I believe them. But I also know what I was up to when I was in high school, and there but by the grace of God go I. I know that Illinois has a budget problem and have been told by Democrats for many years that there is literally nowhere to cut. I have also seen with my own eyes much of the graft in city and state contracting. The Democrats’ positioning is that there are no options but to raise taxes. These lawmakers want to raise taxes through drug use, and I find that despicable. For whatever reason, there has been no grand bargain on expanded gambling for expanded revenue, and that’s got to hurt. Prostitution is still illegal in Illinois, however not rare. My heart goes out to the young ladies and their families whose revenue potentials will be eyed next. Democratic leadership has already spent more money for today than our kids and grandkids could possibly pay back in their lifetimes, so that must make the politicians proud. Their idea of promoting and taxing drug use is a good one to keep money flowing in, but bodes poorly for future generations. By the time the bill comes due these two legislators will be living on their fat, taxpayer-provided pensions, so what do they care? What if there are no public taxpayers left in Illinois to pay it? Steans and Cassidy must think carefully about what they’re doing. And in the meantime, try not to string out the kids for their comfort.)

— DISGUSTING: Colorado weighs strategy for guarding against pot crackdown – AP (DIERSEN: If you promote pot, you are NOT a Republican. If you got elected to or appointed to a government or to a political position as a Republican, and you promote pot, you should immediately resign so that you can be replaced with a Republican. If you promote pot, you are a Democrat, a Libertarian, or a Green. You are anti-Republican, anti-conservative, anti-religious, and anti-American.)
http://www.wsiltv.com/story/34995922/colorado-weighs-strategy-for-guarding-against-pot-crackdown
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Colorado is considering an unusual strategy to protect its nascent marijuana industry from a potential federal crackdown, even at the expense of hundreds of millions of dollars in tax collections. A bill pending in the Legislature would allow pot growers and retailers to reclassify their recreational pot as medical pot if a change in federal law or enforcement occurs. It’s the boldest attempt yet by a U.S. marijuana state to avoid federal intervention in its weed market. The bill would allow Colorado’s 500 or so licensed recreational pot growers to instantly reclassify their weed. A switch would cost the state more than $100 million a year because Colorado taxes medical pot much more lightly than recreational weed – 2.9 percent versus 17.9 percent. The measure says licensed growers could immediately become medical licensees “based on a business need due to a change in local, state or federal law or enforcement policy.” The change wouldn’t take recreational marijuana off the books, but it wouldn’t entirely safeguard it either. What it could do is help growers protect their inventory in case federal authorities start seizing recreational pot. The provision is getting a lot of attention in the marijuana industry following recent comments from members of President Donald Trump’s administration. White House spokesman Sean Spicer has said there’s a “big difference” between medical and recreational pot. Sponsors of the bill call it a possible exit strategy for the new pot industry. It’s hard to say how many businesses would be affected, or if medical pot would flood the market, because some businesses hold licenses to both grow and sell marijuana in Colorado. The state had about 827,000 marijuana plants growing in the retail system in June, the latest available data. More than half were for the recreational market. “If there is a change in federal law, then I think all of our businesses want to stay in business somehow. They’ve made major investments,” said Sen. Tim Neville, a suburban Denver Republican who sponsored the bill. If federal authorities start seizing recreational pot, Colorado’s recreational marijuana entrepreneurs “need to be able to convert that product into the medical side so they can sell it,” Neville said. His bill passed a committee in the Republican Senate 4-1 last week.)

— At What Age Do Millennials Consider Themselves Adults? The Answer Will Stun You. – AARON BANDLER (DIERSEN: At what age were you an adult, that is, at what age did you start paying all your own bills? For me, it was age 21 in 1970, when I started working for Firestone Stores in Chicago Heights. I paid not only all my own bills, I helped pay my mother’s and brother’s bills. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969 and I had applied for and I eventually got a financial hardship draft deferment. I was able to buy a new town home in University Park when I was 24 in 1972.)

According to The Wrap, research compiled by David Poltrack, CBS’ chief research officer and their ratings expert, as well as Nielsen Catalina Solutions, found that millennials consider themselves adults at age 30 because that’s when they typically are completely responsible for themselves – they no longer reside with their parents and pay entirely for their own bills.)

Prejudice, yes, but not racist. Racism describes a system of disadvantage based on race. Black people can’t be racist since we don’t stand to benefit from such a system.” Another sign peddled white stereotypes while insinuating all white people place black people in a box: “Dear white people, are you tired of your hum drum, Wonderbread existence of accidental racism and wishing you could sip on Henny out yo crunk cup without a bitch giving you the side-eye?

Their protestations against border security and the travel ban are not likely to do either. Surveys show that Obama-Trump blue-collar voters like Trump’s anti-immigration stance. These voters are likely to have felt competition from immigrants legal and illegal, and they want that competition to stop. Even though many of these voters agree with Democrats on traditional economic issues like taxes and entitlement spending, their primary concern now is to protect their livelihoods and standard of living by reducing competition from foreigners living at home and abroad. . .Democrats are either unwilling to see the truth or unable to acknowledge it: They cannot win back the presidency without attracting people who disagree with some of their views.

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Two choices for Trump supporters in Chicago: Be silent or be bullied – SUZZANNE MONK (DIERSEN: How nasty are the anti-Trumps in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, and in your county? One would expect that the fewer votes that Trump got in the aforesaid jurisdictions, the nastier that the anti-Trumps would be there. One would expect that the more religious, government, political, and/or financial clout that anti-Trumps have in the aforesaid jurisdictions, the nastier that the anti-Trumps would be there.)
http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170317/ISSUE07/170319882/two-choices-for-trump-supporters-in-chicago-be-silent-or-be-bullied
(FROM THE LETTER: For 24 years, I have loved living in Chicago with my husband, a native Chicagoan. I have loved doing business in Chicago. The food, the sports, the culture and the arts, and the diversity of people have been a fertile ground for our life, and I have been proud to call myself a Chicagoan anywhere I went in the world. But for the last year I have not loved living in Chicago. I am ashamed of you, Chicago, and the intolerance you now accept in the name of politics. You see, I am a Trump supporter. My husband is a Trump supporter, too. And because we support Trump, we no longer feel proud, or safe, being in this city. Chicago, you have always been a Democrat-run town, but this year you have become a one-party city terrorizing anyone not in your party for their beliefs. From the constant protests blocking roads and businesses, to the attacks on Trump supporters, to the verbal and online bullying going on every day across this city, Chicago, you have made it quite clear that Trump supporters are not welcome. When my fellow Chicagoans praised the riot at UIC that shut down the Chicago Trump rally I attended, I was angry and ashamed. You have made it quite clear, there are two choices for Trump supporters in Chicago: Be silent about your politics or be bullied for them. Since I am not one to be silent, I have been bullied. My husband and our music store, Worlds of Music Chicago, are still being bullied. Our store has had to cut employee hours due to the bullying, and soon we will have to cut our employee altogether. We will close at the end of April, because we are no longer willing to subject our staff, our customers, our neighbors and ourselves to the daily risk. Sadly, my story is not unique. Other Chicago Trump supporters are experiencing the same hate, bullying and intimidation. If you need any further evidence of Trump supporters being unwelcome, you need merely turn on the local news, pick up a local paper or read your alderman’s latest newsletter bashing and misrepresenting our president. So, after 25 years, after a lifetime for my husband, we have to leave. In the end, it wasn’t the high taxes, constant road construction or high crime. It wasn’t the unchecked gang violence or political cronyism. In the end, we have to leave because of the hate you are willing to tolerate. I’d like to say, it’s not you, it’s me—but Chicago, I’ve got to be honest . . . it’s you. You’ve changed. You are no longer the nose-to-the-grindstone hardworking Democratic City of the Big Shoulders. You have a Trump-sized chip on that big shoulder, and it has turned you into a city of fear, hate and division. A city that encourages political bullying. A city I can no longer call home.)

CENTRAL ILLINOIS PROUD
— DIEREN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps say “Almost two-thirds want path to legal status.” Those two-thirds are Democrats or RINOs. Democrats want immigration because immigrants vote for Democrats. RINOs want immigrants because they want cheap labor.

— Trump budget director dispassionately defends ‘fairly compassionate’ budget Budget reallocates priorities, he says – ELI WATKINS (DIERSEN HEADLINE: Each and every one of my nasty critics/opponents, their nasty operatives, and their nasty dupes a) paint themselves as being extremely compassionate and b) demonize, denigrate, and condemn me as being not compassionate. They stress that they are a member of a church, that they attend church services, and that they give money to a church. Many of my critics/opponents use government and/or charities a) to take money away from those who have more money (usually Republicans) and b) to give that money to those who have less money (usually Democrats, Libertarians, and Greens).)

CHICAGO BUSINESS JOURNAL
— 5 Chicago universities (Columbia College, DePaul University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Loyola University and Northwestern University) launching program for immigrant entrepreneurs (DIERSEN: Individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries that promote “immigrant entrepreneurs” have never had any use for lowly White male wage earners like I was 1964-1997. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes despise if not hate lowly White male wage earners like I was 1964-1997. Nevertheless, I earned job-related masters degrees from three of five aforesaid universities – DePaul, Loyola, and IIT.)

The federal work force has been shrinking steadily every decade for the past 70 years. See the Washington Post chart at upper right. All of which poses the question: what’s really going on here?)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— A few reasons why men should pay for prenatal care – Heidi Stevens (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, anti-Trumps paint themselves as being anti-men. How soon, if not already, will anti-Trumps demand that the federal government tax sex? More specifically, that the federal government require men to pay a tax ($100, $500, $1,000+?) each and every time that they have sex with a woman. Men would have to file a form with IRS each and every time that they have sex with a woman, or would weekly, monthly, or annual filings be OK? How much information would men have to disclose on these forms? Women would also have to file forms to deter and detect cheating, that is, tax fraud. How would IRS enforce this new tax? Just kidding. But, not completely. I worked for IRS’s Collection Division 1971-1980 and I worked for GAO on audits of IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division 1986-1988.)

http://www.gopusa.com/?p=21719
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Janice Crouse of Concerned Women for America suspects the breakdown of the family structure has put Millennials at a disadvantage when it comes to learning adult skills they might have learned from their parents. “Most of these young people who are not functioning very well have not had parents,” she tells OneNewsNow. “There’s no father in the home, and the mother is trying to survive, having to work and do the work of two people and be a parent and a homemaker at the same time.” Subjects taught at “adulting” school include money management, time management, personal relationships, and even how to make a meal, according to odditycentral.com. Crouse recalls when schools taught students skills they would need in adulthood, but she says that is now lacking in education.)

— Rather than regulate panhandlers, give them a job (DIERSEN: But what about bad jobs? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that all the job that I had were bad. Would they say that it would be cruel and unusual punishment to require panhandlers to take the jobs that I did doing yard work, delivering newspapers, washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, delivering mail, working on an automobile assemble line, working as a security guard, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, collecting delinquent taxes, and auditing federal agencies? GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job.)

— DeVos meets with gay and transgender activists. Now pro-family groups want equal time – Peter LaBarbera (DIERSEN: What would your critics/opponents say that you are an activist for? My critics/opponents would say that I am an activist for the Republican Party platform, the Illinois Republican Party platform, the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling, Trump, Protestants, conservatives, Republicans, Americans, Whites, males, older people, rich people, gun owners, German Americans, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. My critics/opponents would stress the GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails that I have been sending out since 2000.)

PUBLIUS FORUM
— Trump Needs to Fire Thousands of Deep State Government Employees NOW! – Warner Todd Huston (DIERSEN: While pay, benefits, and advancement opportunities are terrible in the government sector, they are even worse in the private sector. GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran.)

— How Healthy Are You? G.O.P. Bill Would Help Employers Find Out – REED ABELSON (DIERSEN: Many, if not most of my Democrat coworkers and subordinates in the federal government hinted/implied/argued/shouted that they had serious health problems. Many of them used all their sick days as fast as they earned them. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I had good health a) because I am White, b) because I am male, c) because my parents were filthy rich, d) because I avoided the draft, and e) because my wife and I gave up trying to have children, because we did not adopt, and because we did not become foster parents.)

— Wealthy Would Get Billions in Tax Cuts Under Obamacare Repeal Plan – JESSE DRUCKER (DIERSEN: Anti-Trumps viciously demonize, viciously denigrate, and viciously condemn Republicans as being wealthy. Should it be a hate crime to say that someone is wealthy if their income is less than $200,000 a year? Just kidding, but not completely.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/10/business/tax-cuts-affordable-care-act-repeal.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Two of the biggest tax cuts in Republican proposals to repeal the Affordable Care Act would deliver roughly $157 billion over the coming decade to those with incomes of $1 million or more, according to a congressional analysis. The assessment was made by the Joint Committee on Taxation, a nonpartisan panel that provides research on tax issues. It is not unusual for tax cuts to benefit mostly the wealthiest, but still save some money for a majority of Americans. But the benefits of these reductions would be aimed squarely at the top. The provisions would repeal two tax increases on high earners enacted in 2010 to help pay for the Affordable Care Act: an increase in capital gains taxes and other investment-related income, and a surcharge on Medicare taxes. People making $200,000 to $999,999 a year would also get sizable tax cuts. In total, the two provisions would cut taxes by about $274 billion during the coming decade, virtually all of it for people making at least $200,000, according to a separate assessment by the committee.)
