"DOGE is finding that actually cutting public funding is harder than expected, even with its chainsaw approach to government. It is failing to document many of those savings." Not only that, but when you're looking at "savings" you also have to document the costs of those actions. Nothing is free, and all of these actions have both direct and indirect costs. At the end of the day, DOGE is not saving anything. It's destroying agencies and costing taxpayers billions both today and tomorrow. The IRS has always had difficulty recruiting agents because the corporate world pays better. These actions will make future recruiting efforts, assuming the IRS will be able hire in the future, more difficult.

It’s been six weeks since I filed (successfully) for my income tax return check. It’s not here. Should I call the IRS? Oh, wait!
A tiny techical point from a tax lawyer - the Acting Chief Counsel (top IRS lawyer), not the General Counsel.
