According to The Hill, “A $1.66 trillion top-line spending agreement announced by congressional leaders this week will accelerate funding cuts to the Internal Revenue Service favored by Republicans. The bipartisan deal would cut $10 billion from the IRS during fiscal 2024, one year earlier than Democrats and Republicans previously agreed on in a deal to raise the debt limit last summer. The debt limit deal included $20 billion in overall reductions to a controversial IRS funding boost. The acceleration is the latest reduction in resources for the IRS, which was slated to receive $80 billion in funding through the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. The additional funding was intended to redesign the agency and reinvigorate U.S. tax collections with a focus on the richest taxpayers. But Republicans took immediate aim at the IRS funding increase, voting to repeal the entire allotment last year upon retaking the House and whittling away at it through successive funding deals.”
Only in this sh*t-for-brains country! Only in America! RepubliKKKlans and seemingly every other American constantly b*tches about the national debt, but no one wants to pay for it, and conservatives’ attacks on the I.R.S. evince a national deadbeat attitude. In large part, the debt continues to climb because the nation can’t stop spending and refuses to hold people, especially the rich, accountable to pay their fair share of taxes. And I don’t want to hear about “waste, fraud, and abuse” of spending. Look, f***tards, waste, fraud, and abuse are just a part of life — everywhere. You’ll find just as much of these economic inefficiencies in private, corporate, and personal endeavors. Hell! I cringe whenever I toss kale or chicken because it goes bad before I can eat it. The real question is how inefficient is the government. Not as much as RepubliKKKlans would have you believe. The percentage is in the low single digits, but RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks would have you believe the waste, fraud, and abuse is so vast, expansive, and intentional that deficit shortfalls could be overcome only if government weren’t so corrupt. So, instead of trying to fund the one department providing cash flow to the government, they want to hobble it. This is what a dying country looks like. Welcome to stupid America. The end is here!
