Yeah, especially as there seems to be no strings attached, why would you want your tax money back? (/s)
.
Pretty sure the IRS going away is still on the table. Realistically though, never thought it would go away this tax season.
Trump would be prescribed a madman if he axed it now without first demonstrating beyond a shadow of a doubt it truly isn't needed for a balanced fed. budget, or to kill the deficit. I'm willing to wait one more year to have it completely gone (you have to show them).
Edit: If it does by some miracle go away this tax season, I'll happily eat crow.
Yet if you confront any of them or question the integrity (not even them personally) they act like it was the most heinous thing ever said in history.
The whole integrity of the post office thing is bunk. Yes there are good people. But you try and tell me these days there is much left? Forget it.
That stinks, sorry to here that. Our state has the opposite problem. Our state is doing great for 2A, it is neighboring blue states trying to throw us under the bus with the feds, falsely claiming our state contributes to their states gun problems, so they constantly try to drag the ATF and FBI into everything.
IMO, it is more that those agencies weren't getting it done with what they had, how are all the new hands going to help?
They were already so bloated, and fraction of the staff can do the job if they stuck to the core purpose.
Exactly this. How good are you at your job when your job is to keep the checks rolling even when it is obviously fraud? When it is painfully obvious your job is silly or unneeded?
When you've been to DC and see the employees there, and you've been to Crystal city and Pentagon city and you see what is going on, it's really hard to imagine, even though there are good people, they know what the score is, yet they are there anyways.
Are all bad? Course not. But a whole lot (most) are and EVERYONE knows what is going on. Turning a blind eye isn't an excuse.
Run the numbers. Last est. Was 2.3 million federal employees. Look at how many employed at each agency and how many are being fired. Likewise look at the agencies projected to get closed. When the President supposed only 50% of the federal workforce to the press, I don't think that was accurate, not at the pace we're going.
If anything that was to feed them a line, that it would be the starting point.
Quick easy example, Do you really think we need to keep the 80,000 extra IRS agents who were just hired for the express purpose of going after American citizens? Based on the facts coming down, there is a fairly good chance the IRS could be shut down in <4 years. Or at least drastically reduced in size.
50% is the starting point.
Accurate, and important to know.
Also important to know these judges are about to face a deluge of cases brought by ex federal employees. This is very important and is still a big deal.
