Sure tells you who the RepubliQ are slaves to when they relentlessly agitate for starving the IRS of operational funding. Apparently the annual RepubliQ shut-the-gummint-down blackmail contains a strident bleat to slash IRS funding by over 40%. The stopgap bill already includes a provision to choke off $100 million (not certain of the exact final number).
The Party of Fiscal Responsibility Hyuk Hyuk doesn't want to spend money on something that will return the investment fivefold. Becuz, y'know, gummint aspendin' am bad. Hyuk hyuk.
In 2015 I retired from IRS Collection after 32 years. The last data I saw projected that the Treasury realizes $40 for every $1 they spend on Collection staffing. When I left (and,actually, for most of my career) there were billions of dollars left on the table because we just didn't have anybody available to ask for the money.
We hired 50,000 more staff and collected only $500m for an average of $10,000 per agent.. Meanwhile salaries and benefits are $80k . Looks like a money loser to me

A stupid, overly simplistic, and grossly inaccurate calculation. The number of agents hired in 2023 was not even remotely close to 50,000.
Fucking stupid Tommie-poo.

And all the while, Republicans were railing against all that horrible government spending. What sort of efforts was the IRS making at that time to kick Congress in the nuts and get them to allocate adequate funding? I'm thinking that it would have had a chance, maybe, during certain years of the Obama administration.
That's the strong "law and order" stand you would expect from a current Republican! But, after all, laws don't apply to rich Republicans anymore, do they Tom? They can slander sexual assault victims, lie on official business documents, arrange forged electoral college documents, keep official top secret government documents, solicit "just (~)11,000 more votes", and so on--and yet, you still vote for them.

Well, all that is true, but...Biden stutters. So Tom has no choice but to vote for Trump.
I guess we all have to acknowledge that there are millions of folks out there like Tom who never were the sharpest knives in the drawer and whose brains have now turned to mush as a result of aging and the relentless onslaught of Fox News et al.
Laides and gentlemen......just a friendly reminder: When Tom doesnt provide a souce Tom is lying.

And when he does provide a source, as well. When he provides a statistic, it's either irrelevant, out of context, or just plain ol' hooey.
