hindered by legacy costs – Cole Lauterbach (DIERSEN: In 1997, when I was 49
years old, by forcing me to retire, my Democrat GAO superiors turned me from
being a productive employee into a “legacy cost.” I had almost 18
years of experience working for GAO. I had almost 9 years of experience working
for IRS. I had 3 job-related master’s degrees and a job-related bachelor’s
degree. I had 6 job-related professional certifications. I had a job-related
professional license.)
