[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the amount budgeted for hiring additional personnel for the IRS is $80 billion. Since we are extremely in debt (over $33 trillion), I think it is good for our lawmakers look for places to cut in order to fund more important priorities. This seems like a no brainer to me. [/quote] It seems like you have no brain to me. Rescinding $25 billion of IRS funding would result in the loss of $49 billion in revenue and increase deficits by $24 billion over ten years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. https://www.crfb.org/blogs/irs-rescission-would-worsen-deficits[/quote] Breaking: Speaker Mike Johnson also has no brain. [twitter]https://twitter.com/kellyfphares/status/1719748153048518915?s=46&t=kf1qYlCXQnKgUhJWEIu2vg[/twitter][/quote] Amazing that this country put someone in charge of the House who publicly makes dumb statements as if he doesn't even know how Congress works - it's literally the job of the Congressional Budget Office to calculate an estimate of fiscal impact of legislation. They are experts at doing this, and they have already assessed the impact of cuts to the IRS - and yes, cutting their budget will increase the deficit, and the debt. They also scored the proposals to add staff to the IRS, and that analysis shows that the IRS would be more effective at reining in fraud, staffing up would not only pay for itself, it would pay for itself many times over and would reduce the deficit and the debt.[/quote] He’s not stupid but he thinks GOP voters are stupid.
