— If Gingrich had reformed GAO instead of gutting it, DOGE would not be needed today and I might still be a GAO employee. If Gingrich had formed a team to reform GAO, I would have volunteered to be a member of the team. I would have stressed a) that I had worked for GAO since 1980 and the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 Levels, currently $117,807-$153,151/year, b) that I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) that I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and became a licensed CPA in1981, d) that I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and e) that I earned an MBA in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and a master’s degree in finance in 1997. – Dave Diersen

— What is/was your employers’ top priority? I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969. Their top priority was hiring, retaining, and promoting Democrats 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. To achieve the aforesaid, they ever-increasingly a) lowered their hiring, retention, and promotion standards and b) used the extreme subjectivity in their personnel policies a) to give preference to their employees who were the aforesaid and b) to waste the careers of and to get rid of their employees who were not the aforesaid. The aforesaid ever-increasing rendered worthless a) my three job-related master’s degrees, b) my six job-related professional certifications, and c) my jo-related professional license. – Dave Diersen

What do you say to my critics/opponents? Will illegals take the bad jobs that I took doing yard work, delivering newspapers, washing dishes, cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, pumping gasoline, delivering mail, working on an automotive assembly line, selling tires, automotive services, and major appliances, pumping more gasoline, collecting delinquent federal taxes, and auditing federal agencies? – Dave Diersen

— What motivated you to pursue college? My father frequently decried his not having a college degree. He was discouraged from pursuing college because he had type 1 diabetes from childhood. He was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma. Neither of my parents attended college. My mother never attended high school. If I was in high school today, because of my terrible demographics, I question if I could find enough motivation to pursue college. Democrat and RINO employers ever-increasingly give more preference to those who are minority, female, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time, and/or are citizens of foreign countries. – Dave Diersen
