    Making A Rogue Agency Pay The Price…

    …for their rogue activities.

    In this case the IRS gets its budget cut by 24% due to their partisan shenanigans against the Tea Party.

    “…they can’t trust the agency’s executives to handle public money appropriately.”

    Taxcutter says:
    I love it. Arrogant bureaucrats lose out in the budgeting process.

    ““That’s typically their answer to it -- if there’s a problem, just cut the budget and somehow the problem goes away,” Crowley said. “It’s not addressing the issue.”

    Taxcutter says:
    Wrong, meathead! That is exactly addressing the issue. If you cut the budget, you cut IRS power and excess power has obviously caused corruption. Cutting budgets cuts power and hence corruyption.


    IRS bonuses are being cut, too.

    It’s high time that government leeches feel the pain the rest of of have to deal with.

    No it doesn't. A bill is introduced and will go nowhere. We added 1,500 new agents with Obamacare and they're going to get paid. Congress, Republicans and Democrats both, see the IRS as their bagmen who rake in the money that they get to spend on family, friends, and occasionally public needs. The IRS will not be reined in by either party.
