— Trump set to embark on 1st vacation since inauguration – AP (DIERSEN: Vacations are expensive. Your GOPUSA Illinois Editor and his wife are not planning any kind of vacation. My $50,856/year pension is only 41% of the $122,991 that I earned in 1997 in today’s dollars. I have at least $72,135 less each year or $6,011 less each month or $1,387 less each week or $198 less each day to spend on vacations because my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. I went on vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, and 1977. My wife and I went on many vacations, typically four each year, 1978-1992 in connection with her business trips to luxury resorts all across America. Of course, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious about that.)

Much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do including interviewing, data gathering, data summary, data analysis, developing recommendations, and report writing. In 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors showed their complete and utter disdain for what I had a) learned by working for IRS’s Collection Division for almost 9 years 1971-1980, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $79,563-$90,173, b) learned by passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) learned by earning a masters degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) learned by earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) learned by earning a bachelor’s degree from NIU in 1970 a) by forcing me to take an $18,847 (21%) pay cut to transfer, that is, a downgrade from GS-12 Step 5, currently $90,173, to GS-9 Step 10, currently $71,326, b) by keeping me off audits of IRS 1980-1995, c) by forcing the GAO manager who had hired me, gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1996, and gotten me promoted to GS-13, currently $94,610, in 1986, and d) by keeping me off audits of IRS 1989 until they succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997.)
