Trump slashes 25% of IRS workforce with buyouts, firings of nearly 26,000 agency staff

Washington Times-

The administration has slashed the IRS workforce by nearly 26,000 people through buyouts and firings, marking a 25% reduction in staffing as President Trump works to reverse President Biden’s buildup at the tax agency.

The cuts sliced through some of the most prominent IRS divisions, taking out 27% of the tax examiners and 26% of the revenue agents, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration said.

Information technology is shedding 23% of its workforce, and the management and analysis division will lose 28% of its staff. read more

  1. Aaaaaaaannd that’s whutcha call a “Good Start”!

    Now do it few more times just to break even with all the little assholes The Obamboozler and Jackass Joe put in there just so that you can get to a good starting point to work on cutting the fat!

    Oh… and don’t forget to take their guns and ammunition!!

  2. You gotta be kidding me…audit ‘rates for those earning less than $25,000 annually dropped from 10 per 1,000 to four’.

    Why the fook are we auditing people with no money? A scare tactic, because they can’t hire a professional and fight back? Just to prove the IRS can take what they want?

    Freaking pathetic.

    Bleed the IRS dry, shut it down, go with a flat tax.

  3. What if we tied the Dollar to the international Joule unit of energy?

    1 Joule = 1 kg m² / s² = 1 Newton meter = 1 Watt second

    1 MegaJoule = 1,000,000 Joules

    (1 kwh = 1000 watt sec x 3,600 sec = 3,600,000 Joules)

    1 MegaJoule = 1/3.6 kilowatt hours = 0.28 kwh

    Example: If you’re paying $0.15/kwh for electricity, your dollar is worth 6.67 kwh which is about 23.8 MegaJoules.

    “Sir, we have your family’s Joules right here!”

    “Just kidding, sir. Ah, sir, how would you like your Dollars converted today? Via the largest monetary exchange program in the world, we can offer you:

    🟨 Liquid fuels (hands you a list, includes gasoline)
    🟨 Battery charge(s) (inefficient but available)
    🟨 Super capacitor charge(s) (recommended, requires approval)
    🟨 Joule heading discharge (inefficient but available)
    🟨 Heat pump input power (recommended)
    🟨 Thorium reactor pellets (requires Thorium reactor)
    🟨 Explosives (hands you a list of ammo and pyro)
    🟨 Fusion power futures. (High risk, long term)
    🟨 Matter-anti-matter futures. (Highest risk)
    🟨 Retail trade (hands you huge list of participating retailers)
    … the list goes on and on

    Because of computer technology, I believe this could actually work. But in this scenario, government becomes a mere mechanistic conveyance (and not a controlling force) which it was supposed to be under the founding fathers!
