Because of that, the Democrats and RINOs who run Congress will ever-increasingly print more money, that is, drive up the national debt, to pay for housing, feeding, clothing, giving medical care to, educating, employing, etc. more and more and more illegals. Anticipate/expect that soon, if not already, Pritzker will “offer” the leaders of your county, township, municipality, and school district lots of that money, that is, Pritzker will force them to take lots of that money to support illegals in your county, township, municipality, and school district.)

My critics/opponents demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being an unmitigated failure because I never made GS-14 (currently $129,732-$168,569/year), that I dd not make GS-13 (currently $109,732-$142,650/year) until I was 38, and that I did not make GS-12 (currently $92,279-$119,964/year) until I was 25.

But are they, and if they are, how long will they be happy? I could tolerate the bad jobs that I had because I anticipated/expected that I would be moving up the ladder because I had a) earned a high school diploma when I was 17 in 1966, b) earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21, c) earned job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, d) earned job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and e) became a licensed CPA when I was 32. To keep illegals happy, anticipate that employers will ever-increasingly replace their Republican employees with illegals.)
