+1 to the bolded part. The reason they were underfunded in the first place is because the GQP, whenever they were able, cut the IRS's budget. Cutting the IRS budget means less audits of the rich, which de facto, is a tax cut for the rich. The $87 billion over 10 years is to get it to the funding level that is should have. |

NP. If you’re going to call out someone else’s ignorance, make sure you’re not an idiot yourself. You confused yourself with the statistics. You see, although Type 2 diabetics are less likely to be insulin dependent than Type 1 diabetics, Type 2 nonetheless make up the vast, vast, vast majority of diabetics. As a result, Type 2 diabetics make up the majority of those who use insulin. To give you an example with numbers. If 20% of people in Town A use insulin and only 5% of people in Town B use insulin, then the residents of Town A are more likely to be on insulin. If at the same time, however, they are only 100 people in Town A, but there are 1000 people in Town B, then 20 people in Town A are on insulin while 50 people in Town B are on insulin. Therefore, the people of Town B make up the majority of those who use insulin even though they are less likely to need insulin. Confusing, right? That’s why you should be careful before trotting out statistics when you don’t have a good command of the subject. |

To be fair, the last three Presidents, including Obama, all reduced the IRS budget over their terms in office. The IRS has had to deal with shrinking budgets since the end of Clinton administration. The increases that were granted in the IRA allow them to restore the staffing levels back to the 1990's. If the 38K staff that is a right-wing talking point, more than half of those are restaffing of empty positions that have been empty for years because they haven't had the funds to staff positions lost through regular attrition (people leaving federal service, retiring, etc). Right now, part of why the federal government needs to increase taxes, cut deficit spending, etc is because for the last 20 years, UMC, upper class and the wealthy have been able to shortchange the IRS on their taxes, avoid audits and tie down any attempts to claim unpaid taxes, interest and penalities by engaging tax lawyers who could keep the shrinking IRS audit department diverted. The IRS has only been successful in auditing and claiming refunds and past due payments, interest and penalties from the lower income folks who could be garnished or foreclosed on if they didn't pay. We have billions of dollars in back taxes that people have walked away from because they could tie the IRS up with lawyers. The restaffing will allow the IRS to actually bring staff numbers back up to a functioning level and resume full audits and reclamation of unpaid and back taxes and penalties and interest. Plus it will allow the IRS to actually research and hunt for fraud. They will be able to get money owed to the federal government that will be legally owed and will be able to fund a lot of what the federal government needs without increasing taxes. |

Given Elon’s destruction of Twitter in the last two weeks, I honestly can’t tell if that’s Warnock’s actual official account or another person posing as him. Whether it is or it isn’t, that anyone will vote for a man who rambles about werewolves and vampires says how far gone the average Republican is from sanity. |

Only two reasons:.
1. Everything he says. 2. Everything he does. Other than these two, he's perfect. |
