Candy - I dare say that you are asking too much of those who havn't a clue as to who they really are...

I support hiring more IRS workers which actually does reduce the deficit.

The Internal Revenue Service has a $57.8 billion slush fund meant to enhance enforcement of the tax code, provided by the Inflation Reduction Act. This was supposed to reduce the deficit by increasing revenues more than the new spending.

 

However, the additional IRS funding has increased the deficit. Every $1 of new revenue from the enforcement efforts has cost taxpayers $1.04.

 

The IRS has collected just 18 percent of the revenues projected by the Congressional Budget Office.

You're right wing think tank that sponcers the effort to kill the IRS doesnt agree with conclusions made by the actual IRS?     Color me shocked, Tom !

 

The lowest hanging fruit in balancing the budget is going after the 600 billion dollars of people who dont file returns.     Republicans (and Tom) arent the least bit interested in going after people who cheat on their taxes.   They sure as hell dont have a solution for it.   But they'll fire the guy who empties the garbage cans at the Washington Monutment and pat themselves on the back for knocking down the debt.

 

 Where is your proof of this statement? -Republicans (and Tom) arent the least bit interested in going after people who cheat on their taxes.

The proof is the constant, ongoing, rabid, eyes-bugged-out Republican (and Tom) crusade to slash IRS funding, particularly enforcement, even though every such dollar spent would augment revenue by five dollars.

 

If they cared about FEELTHY CRIMINALS WHO CHEET ON THAR TAXEZ, they would step up enforcement, not throttle it, no? Especially now that they're in charge of everything, including "making the government more efficient"?

 

Of course, the answer to this conundrum is: THEY are the ones doing the cheating, so they have no interest in getting caught.

 

But whaddya think, stupid asshole fuckface Millerscum? Do ya think the IRS should be able to go after tax cheats, EVEN IF THEY'RE REPUBLICANS????

 

Coward little fuckface hypocrfite Millerscum.

The study had a legitimate purpose, even though MAGAs are SOOOOOO kerfuffled by the very idea of transgender people. The idea was to determine how much menstruation depends on a biological clock and how much on a mental clock--in this instance, does the cerebrum affect what happens in the cerebellum in terms of women's hormonal changes.

 

The existence of transgender men who experience menstrual symptoms provided a unique experimental platform for this study, in that such individuals don't have female hormones provoking the menstrual cycle, other than whatever medications they take. So there could be a higher-brain-function element to menstruation, which if identified, could have significant impact on women's medicine. In other words, the study provided a unique experiemental perspective.

 

You see, Candy, I research and read and look things up. The David Millers of the world just yeep away on internet message boards. And they only yeep because they need something to complain about, and whatever it is was done by "the other guys." Trump telling his idiot followers to drink bleach and snort horse tranquilizers cost thousands of lives. But did David yeep? No way.

 

Also...those without proper education and/or a scientifically inclined mind tend to be dismissive of studies that don't seem important to them or whose conclusions are indeterminate. That, as I'm sure you know, is an attitude born of pure ignorance. Lots of people are dismissive of science in general--like Trump, Elon, and MAGA.

In the Congressional MAGA budget for this and every prior year that they've been in power.

You can do your own research regarding the current proposed MAGA budget. I don't give a flying fuck whether you have the balls to do so.

 

Now call me a LIAR LIAR LIAR. I care not. Fuck you.
