— One could question why I did not succumb earlier than I did to my Democrat GAO superiors’ ever-increasing tremendous pressure on me to retire. I could have taken their early retirement “offer” when I was 45 years old in 1993, but I nevertheless survived until I was 49 years old in 1997. Obvious reasons include my Civil Service Retirement System would have been even smaller. During those 4 years, I became a Certified Government Financial Manager, Financial Services Auditor, and Forensic Accountant and I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading. If I had not taken their “offer” in 1997, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until I was 55 in 2003. They had made it very clear that they would have made those 6 years a living hell for me.

My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997 and replaced me with my 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 I had. My critics/opponents applaud that, that is, they applaud AA and DEI, race and gender based preference giving, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. My Democrat GAO superiors would not have replace me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.

The Democrats who ran GAO on the 1990s used Gingrich budget cuts and buyouts and early outs to get rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. On October 1, 1993, when I was 45 years old and had 25 years of federal service, to get rid of me, they “offered” me a $25,000 buyout and early retirement. But I survived another 4 years. The following helped me survive: a) I became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, b) I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, c) I became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and d) I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.

AUTOWEEK
— Only 16% of Americans Would Buy an EV
https://www.autoweek.com/news/a65010727/ev-interest-study-2025-aaa/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Respondents cited high battery repair costs and high purchase prices as some of the reasons, in addition to unsuitability for long-distance driving. For the past two years the percentage of those who say they are “unlikely” or “very unlikely” to buy an EV has sat at 63%, up from lower levels early in the decade. . .Some 27% of survey respondents cited difficulties in installing EV charging stations at home. Back in 2022, some 77% of respondents who were interested in buying an EV cited gas savings as their main reason for wanting an EV. But the reasons for the low reported rate of EV interest this year are not all energy- or distance-related. The survey found that 31% of those who were unlikely or undecided on EV purchases cited safety as the reason, perhaps driven by media reports of battery fires and recalls over the past few years, while 27% cited difficulties in installing EV charging stations at home.)

RIVER BENDER
— Accounting Major Ralph Wideman Delivers Address At Illinois High School Diploma Graduation. Career counseling is very important. My not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 was a very big career mistake. I erroneously thought that I could not pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30. I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, or veteran.

— Chicago minimum wage set to increase July 1. Did you ever work for the minimum wage? I did 1964-1966 washing dishes in Chicago Heights while I was a junior and a senior at Crete-Monee High School. With the money that I earned, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, a poor man’s GTO, in May of 1966, and I used it to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete and summer jobs and then classes at UIC and my part-time Park Forest Post Office job. When you were in high school, did your classmates work part-time during the school year and/or full-time during the summers in between like I did? Few of my high school classmates did. There were few good jobs available. I worked far too many hours washing dishes instead of studying. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory classes, I got an ACT score of 24, I got into the upper 20% of my class, and UIC accepted me.

— Democrats run the federal government. Federal employees are their patronage army. They hired me in 1980, 1971, and 1966 because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They wasted my career and got rid of me because I refused to become a Democrat. – Dave Diersen

— Did you deduct education expenses? My IRS employee manual strongly encouraged me to take graduate business, accounting, and law courses. But IRS provided no reimbursement for tuition or books. Nevertheless, a) I started taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972 and earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and b) I started taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul in 1976 and earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I deducted the tuition and books. In 1978, to get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my deductions. I should write about that. They outrageously, disgustingly, and unethically argued a) that the courses did not relate to my job duties, b) that the courses did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) that I took the courses to get a job in the private sector, and d) that I took the courses to qualify myself for a new trade or business. They ignored the content of my applications, course descriptions, and position descriptions. – Dave Diersen

— What motivated you to overcome workplace obstacles and keep on working? The importance of the Post Office’s mission (delivering mail), IRS’s mission (funding the federal government), and GAO’s mission (fighting government fraud, waste, and abuse) helped me overcome workplace obstacles and to keep on working. While I was a S.S. Kresge employee 1964-1966, it was my wanting money to buy a new car (1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint) to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete and classes at UIC. While I was a postal employee 1966-1969, it was my need for money to pay for my UIC and NIU expenses and to buy new cars (1968 Oldsmobile 442 and 1969 Dodge Charger SE) to get to/from classes and work. While I was a Firestone Store employee 1970-1972, it included my need for money to help support my mother and brother. While I was an IRS employee 1971-1980, it included my wanting money to pay for my Loyola and DePaul education expenses, to buy new cars (1972 Corvette, 1974 Dodge Dart, 1978 Chevy Chevette, and 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale), and to buy a new town home in 1972, a studio condo in 1974, a one bedroom condo in 1976, and a home in Wheaton in 1978. While I was a GAO employee 1980-1997 it included my wanting money to pay for my DePaul education expenses in 1980 and my IIT education expenses 1992-1997, to have a home built in Wheaton in 1984, to buy new cars in 1989, 1993, 1995, and 1996, to buy collector cars (1962 Chevrolet Impala SS in 1989 and 1968 Charger R/T in 1994), etc. The importance of the Post Office’s mission (delivering mail), IRS’s mission (funding the federal government), and GAO’s mission (fighting government fraud, waste, and abuse) helped me overcome workplace obstacles and to keep on working. – Dave Diersen

Nevertheless, a) I started taking graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972 and earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and b) I started taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul in 1976 and earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980. I deducted the tuition and books. In 1978, to get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my deductions. I should write about that. They outrageously, disgustingly, and unethically argued a) that the courses did not relate to my job duties, b) that the courses did not maintain or improve my job skills, c) that I took the courses to get a job in the private sector, and d) that I took the courses to qualify myself for a new trade or business. They ignored the content of my applications, course descriptions, and position descriptions.

MANAGEMENT ISSUES
— What really matters to employees? What motivated you to overcome workplace obstacles and keep on working? The importance of the Post Office’s mission (delivering mail), IRS’s mission (funding the federal government), and GAO’s mission (fighting government fraud, waste, and abuse) helped me overcome workplace obstacles and to keep on working. While I was a S.S. Kresge employee 1964-1966, it was my wanting money to buy a new car (1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint) to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete and classes at UIC. While I was a postal employee 1966-1969, it was my need for money to pay for my UIC and NIU expenses and to buy new cars (1968 Oldsmobile 442 and 1969 Dodge Charger SE) to get to/from classes and work. While I was a Firestone Store employee 1970-1972, it included my need for money to help support my mother and brother. While I was an IRS employee 1971-1980, it included my wanting money to pay for my Loyola and DePaul education expenses, to buy new cars (1972 Corvette, 1974 Dodge Dart, 1978 Chevy Chevette, and 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale), and to buy a new town home in 1972, a studio condo in 1974, a one bedroom condo in 1976, and a home in Wheaton in 1978. While I was a GAO employee 1980-1997 it included my wanting money to pay for my DePaul education expenses in 1980 and my IIT education expenses 1992-1997, to have a home built in Wheaton in 1984, to buy new cars in 1989, 1993, 1995, and 1996, to buy collector cars (1962 Chevrolet Impala SS in 1989 and 1968 Charger R/T in 1994), etc. The importance of the Post Office’s mission (delivering mail), IRS’s mission (funding the federal government), and GAO’s mission (fighting government fraud, waste, and abuse) helped me overcome workplace obstacles and to keep on working.

Before SALT, my wife and I paid less federal income tax by itemizing, both of us staring in 1978 and I starting in 1972. My critics/opponents were always furious about that. I deducted my graduate business and accounting course expenses 1972-1980 and my graduate finance course expenses 1992-1997.

— You Can Still Negotiate a ‘Best and Final’ Job Offer. Job hunters can talk their way into a better deal, even if the salary is set. Ever since I was 31 years old in 1980, my critics/opponents have used against me big time my taking a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that pay cut proved a) that IRS had grossly overpaid me, that is, that IRS should not have promoted me in 1972, 1983, and 1974 and b) that was an extremely bad person because 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/year, because much of what I would do for GAO was similar to what I did for IRS, because GAO audits IRS, because I has almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting, because I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and because I had earned an MBA in 1976. I should write about the aforesaid.
