I admire President Lincoln because of many things that he did before and after he became President of the U.S.A.
For example, one of the reasons President Abraham Lincoln was victorious during the Civil War was because he used our U.S. government's own Greenback Dollar at 0% interest instead of paying very high interest to private bankers.
I included some important information and analysis about President Abraham Lincoln on pages 56-60 and 67, (and p. 241-42 Addendum D - Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address) of my book entitled,
"Economic Crisis & Solutions - Unemployment Bubble, Technology, Federal Reserve and Government."

It can be beneficial, but it is not required, to have government or political experience.
On the other hand, much too often, it is detrimental to have the same people run for the same elected positions over and over with no competition.
Once someone is in office, elected official have more publicity and are likely to have more financial supporters.
We need more people to run for elected offices with new and fresh ideas.

My book explains my analysis and suggested solutions for our government.
Toward the end of my book, I provide my suggested solutions for our nation, states, local governments, and individual people. Importantly, I suggest that individual people pray to God, research, talk to each other, vote and run for elected office.
I worked part-time and temporarily for the State of Wisconsin to conduct an audit. I reviewed hundreds of files, I found many errors, and I saved the State of WI more than $100,000 on just one file.
In addition, I studied law and government for 3 years, I earned my Juris Doctor Degree, and I am a licensed attorney. My undergraduate Bachelor of Business Administration Degree is also helpful.
Most importantly, I care about the U.S.A. and Wisconsin.
