DOGEs cuts to the IRS are expected to cost the government $500B per year in lost revenue. The cuts will make it easier to get away with cheating on taxes by the rich and big corporations. It will explode the deficit. Of course that’s the whole point of DOGE.

In order to balance the budget, they are already planning to cut $800b from Medicaid. Now they will have to cut an additional $500b from Social Security. (All of this without Congress even having to vote on it. Because impoundment.)
Grandma won't miss her social security check. Lutnick said so. |
^ Treasury has already denied this. They know it's wrong, looks wrong and will not play well so they are denying it.
We need to immediately call our representatives and complain about this. This is crazy, terrible. Bad governance. And must be reversed. |
Fox News reporting this? |
"three people told The Washington Post, speaking on the condition of anonymity" "according to three people with knowledge of tax projections" Typical, anonymous sources from a propaganda publication. Pure garbage. |
Ah, so you also think it would be bad if this were an accurate story. So you are attacking the messenger. Well, what would you think would happen when you fire thousands at the IRS? Fwiw, there's a memo detailing this that was presented to the incoming administration. They know this will happen, that is the plan. It is twofold, give more money to big business through failure to collect taxes and starve the beast/the federal government by reducing revenue. Win-win for conservatives. |
Oh so tell what you think about Fox News then? Let me guess, you think it's actual news? Anonymous is the way to go as well when you have a thin skinned, low IQ, potentially demented person in the white house right now who would attack anyone who says anything negative about him. Trump is the definition of a snow flake lol Furthermore, in proper journalism, anonymous sources are common. The journalists will check credentials of the anonymous person (mind you it's not anonymous to the journalist) before publishing. |
And your name is…? |
So if it’s pure garbage then officials from the administration will have no problem appear before both Congress and the American people to explain in Financial Detail what the cuts will amount to and exactly where they are coming from? And this will be backed by an independent evaluation the CBO and heck an agency not tied to the administration? |
This just shows how deceptive DOGE is. It was never about government efficiency. It was always about stealing as much from the tax payers as possible. |
WaPo under Bezo— which refused to allow the editorial board to endorse Harris— is not left leaning propaganda. |
Is it “efficient” to fire a few thousand people who collectively make perhaps $800M and then lose $500B in revenue as a result? |
No duh. It's about that and dismantling all of the checks and oversight, so they can line their pockets with no one to push back. It's absolutely disgusting. I hope the MAGA morons feel it hard. They deserve it after voting this poopshow in. |
This. Time for a little accountability from Trump and Musk. They work for the American people; we pay their salaries. |
Then how about if the average person doesn't pay and overwhelms the IRS. You hurt us. We hurt you. |
